Must Read:Interesting Write Up About People That Just Found Love

Many years ago, a musician sang a song: "Now that we've found love, what are we going to do, with it". This is the  position many people have found themselves in. They are confused about it and some are ready to throw in the towel because they don't know what Love is. Many definitions have been given to the word "LOVE". Some say it is feelings, sacrifice, giving, sex, however, I will give some thoughts about it.
Like the song goes, "Now that we have found love, what are we going to do with it", many people are looking for it and others are trying to come out of it. What a life!!!!. People run from one person and place to another looking for love because of the wrong definitions and understanding they have had about love.
When they find someone and think they have found love, they soon discover love is not what they thought it to be and they rush out of it. Apart from the feelings and the times they have shared together, they find out that love hurts and it makes them go berserk and crazy. Others have decided not to love again because of the betrayals they have had in the past.
However, you can stay in love happy and love again despite the pains, anger, bitterness, disappointments, etc. Some people are hurting because of love and they have vowed never to love again. Others have started misbehaving because of the pains and hurts. You can love again because love is not feelings. Our feelings for love swing but that should not determine if we are still in love. Feelings are a by product of love. If you love someone, you will definitely have feelings for that person. But the feelings can change and this does not mean you don't still love that person or you should rush out of love.
The entertainment industry has defined love in many ways. It makes us think love is sex, funfair, going out and living happily ever after. For love to work, you have to work and sacrifice to me it work. You can't be self centred and expect love to work. A times, you have to play "the fool" to make it work. We need to understand and get the meaning of love from love (God) because he is LOVE and the source of love.

Gal 5:22 -23 says, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, self- control; against such things there is no law. (ESV).  Another translation puts it this way: the fruit of the Spirit is love: joy, peace, patience, etc. This shows that if you love some one, you should be patient and gentle with them. You need to have self control towards them and be faithful to them. Also, 1 Cor 13: 4-8 says ( 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they  will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. (ESV). These are some of the understanding from the authentic book of love ( The Bible) we need to have.
 Love also forgives and it does not keep a list of wrongs. Furthermore, perfect love drives out fear because there is no fear in true love. If you love someone and it has brought pain to you, you have to learn to be patient. Love is not sex and if you truly love someone, you must not sin to love or sin to show it and vice versa. We should also learn how to love in spite of the weaknesses and the pains of love. This does not mean you are a fool. It only shows that you are strong and willing to make it work.
Now that we have found love, it is possible to love and stay in love forever. This is what you can do with love. Remember, no body is perfect.
