A Greater Love…
Ryan Shivers
A Greater Love… Love is the strongest feeling in the world, this feeling of extreme care and admiration is capable of making people look over all the bad and intolerable things of this world. Love is capable of making people do stuff without any control over their physical being. When one loves another, the feelings can become so strong that these two might feel like they are destined to be together forever and that nothing could ever break them apart. Love is a feeling that everyone feels inside at one point in their life, regardless of where they have come from or what has happened in their life. But of all the love in the world, none is greater than the love God has for the people of this Earth. After all, the bible states that “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son and that whosoever believeth in him shall not parish but have everlasting life”-John 3:16. In this being said, God loved the world so greatly that he believed that if he sent his son into the world to die for the people and the sins of this world, that his blood being shed might just save us all. Imagine a person who loves you so much that he or she would rather die than to see you fall into the hands of evil. Imagine a being who would forgive you of anything and everything you could ever do in this life. Imagine a place where everyone is treated as equal beings and nobody is better than anyone else. As Lao Tzu once said, “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage”. Love can strengthen one as well as give one courage and help to find something worth living for. Love is a bondage between two people that can be unbreakable or a network of trust issues, after all, one has to trust someone before one can truly love them right? Take a pair of newlyweds, for example, if the wife doesn’t trust that her husband will follow her through life and provide all the necessities that she needs, then how can these
