Common Days, Revelation & Love

It’s March 22, Sunday Night. I haven’t blogged in a few weeks. I’ve been lagging it to keep my blogs updated. I actually have people who have asked when I would update it, no joke.  Amazing eh?

It’s Sunday evening, the day’s gone. I just got out of an amazing Service that was very moving; something that’ll change our world or even just the people in our lives. The truth is, I could blog more often; I do always have something to talk about. My interest in blogging isn’t just to relate to people but rather inform, teach, or even just share the things I learn that are ground breaking. Things that’ll perhaps put me ahead or above the times. You see, I want to effect my time, not let the time(s) effect me. I do my best to find everyday uncommon from the day before, the sad thing is that most days are as common as can be. I guess that’s because it’s simply Life. If anything, I have to make my life more important, valuable, and worth being in every minute of the days I find so common. 

Like most people, I want to be founded in something. I want a firm foundation for the way I believe, what I believe in, and how I believe in myself to be great. My greatest and utmost belief and foundation lies in Christ. Word. You may not understand where I’m coming from on this one, logically it may not making any sense. But than again, what is “logic” or “sense” but two one syllable words that are defined by a dictionary?

I believe in Christ, and I’m glad I do. It makes me a better person. You see, there’s an attribute to Love which we all hate, either because it caught us off guard, we maybe didn’t know that it even existed in the term, or because we’ve seen the damage of it in our Life. That attribute is this, Leaving. Leaving, or being split is awful, it hurts. Whether it be through a relationship that no longer exists, someone moved away, or even split up by death. In our definition of Love, a definition between humans of course this attribute is ever present. Sad, right? 

The Greek language is accountable for our modern definitions of Love. From what I know of the word Love, along with some short studies, this language has a few definitions for the same word, the first being eros, than philia, and finally, there’s agapé.

•Eros defines more of an exotic, erotic, or lustful Love.

•Philia brings a friendly Love into play. It’s “Love, because of...” e.g. “I Love you because you’re a great friend, because you’re an awesome person”. Make sense?

•Agapé is not an easy type to bring into play. It simply states “I Love you in spite of...” e.g. “I love you in spite of the fact that you fail, in spite of the fact that you don’t feel worthy” and so on. 

I don’t think it’s easy to love someone in spite of... We find the smallest reasons to not want to truly and fully Love. We feel that someone’s level of value doesn’t meet our level, or their interests clash with ours. It’s because agapé is very difficult to accomplish towards one another, and I’m okay with that; for this one reason. God loves unconditionally, He loves in spite of. But I will say this, as long as I can have another “common” day, I’ll make sure I continue to aim high, I’ll see to it that agapé love will top my charts towards another human being. Anything’s possible.  I find it amazing that one service truly opened my eyes and spirit to something so great, so fresh.

Just remember this... God is Love, and Love is real, because God is real.
