Love—a compelling read:

1. Love is a choice, and it represents a commitment. 
2. If you really love someone, then you show it by how you act toward that person.
3. We were created in God’s image to do two things on Earth: Learn to love God and learn to love other people. Life is all about love (LIFE=Love Is For Everyone).
4. In order to love others and to become great lovers, we first need to understand and feel how much God loves us. We don’t want to just talk about love, read about love, or discuss love; we need to experience the love of God.
5. We need to reach a day when we finally, fully understand how God loves us completely and unconditionally. We need to become secure in the truth that we cannot make God stop loving us. Once we’re secure inside God’s unconditional love, we’ll start cutting people a lot of slack. We won’t be as angry as we were before.
