LOVE PART 2

***LOVE PART 2*** 

What does love mean to you? 

How do you see love? 

To what extent should one love another? 

Agape (Ancient Greek ἀγάπη, agapē) is a Greco-Christian term referring to unconditional love, "the highest form of love, charity" and "the love of God for man and of man for God". Agape love can be felt between lovers, family members, and friends, making it a universal form of love.

The traditional understanding of agape love is the kind of love that does not respond to the value of its object. It is an unconditional and unmotivated love that we feel for lovers and family members. 

Love is so important and essential to humanity. God is love and we ought to express love towards everyone. 

Friendship... 

A story of two friends; 

A guy visited a priest on behalf of his friend who is a philanthropist and soft hearted but really sick, dying with no medical solution; 

 Priest: Welcome my son, how can I help you? 

Guy: My friend is a nice person to everyone, he will sacrifice his happiness for others. He is really ill and dying, the doctors have tried and they have no solution. We have spent so much yet no solution. Baba how can you help him? 

Priest: I have looked into his future, this your friend has no hope. 

Guy: Baba, please do something for my friend and he doesn't have to know I did this for him. 

Priest: the solution is you have to give up you wealth in exchange for his life. It means you must be willing to live a poor life so that your friend can live. Being rich was something he loves so much and he taught it through 

Guy: Baba please do it, my friend must live 

Priest: I can't advice you to do that, he isn't your blood and you want to do this are you mad...? 

Guy: Baba, he is my friend and without thinking, he will do this for anybody too. Baba please help him. 

N.B. Baba did it and the friend was well again. Christ gave up His life because of LOVE. 

AGAPE LOVE is hard cos it requires sacrifice, giving, selflessness etc. As parents, siblings, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, family; we all must learn to show unconditional love toward those around us. We shouldn't stop loving because someone hurt us for loving them; love comes with forgiveness and accepting people. Some people don't deserve this love but if you have a loving spirit or heart, you won't need a reason to love anyone, you will always want to love and care for people at all times. 

Let us start to heal this broken world with our love and let's show AGAPE LOVE always.
