101 Relationship Secrets to Boost Your Love Life! Relationshipboost.info |
God Created Us To Live With and For Others. No
one can truly live
without love: it is God’s will for every person to be the
“thou” for every other. Every person is called to love and
help those around him on God’s behalf (Gen. 4:8–10).
God wants us to find community with one another and to help one another in love. And there is no doubt that when we meet our brother’s or sister’s inmost heart, we can help them, for “our” help is given by God himself. As John says, “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love our brethren. He who does not love abides in death” (1 John 3:14). Our lives are fulfilled only when love is kindled, proved, and brought to fruition. Jesus tells us that the two most important commandments are to love God with our whole heart, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. And these two commandments cannot be separated: love to God must always mean love to one’s neighbor. We cannot find a relationship to God if we disregard others (1 John 4:19–21). Our way to God must be through our brothers and sisters, and in marriage, through our partner. If we are filled with God’s love, we can never be lonely or withdrawn for long; we will always find someone to love. God and our neighbor will always be near us. All we need to do is find them. Recently a young man in my community shared with me his newly discovered joy in reaching out to others. Sean had been living in Baltimore doing volunteer work building homes for the disadvantaged. He thought that this would be enough. However, when he came home at the end of the day he didn’t know what to do: I found myself wasting away in front of the television. My zest for life was rapidly diminishing. Then someone told me about an evening tutoring program for innercity children. They were desperately looking for help. So I decided to check it out. Now I help out every night. I can’t believe how my whole perspective on life has changed. I never knew before how much I needed to love these children. When we suffer from loneliness, it is often simply because we desire to be loved rather than to give love. Real happiness comes from giving love to others. We need to seek community of love with our neighbor again and again, and in this seeking we must each become a helper, a brother or a sister. Let us ask God to free our choked-up hearts for this love, knowing that we can find it only in the humility of the cross.
