The Bullet of Love: Pseudo Love’s Limits

The greatest example planet earth ever had of real love is the life and cross of Jesus Christ. Just as His real love won’t ever let go of those who trust Him as Savior (even when they blow it), so it is with all those who really love. Real love sticks! If you think it’s tough being stuck with your husband or your wife just think how God must feel being stuck with you!

All the pseudo loves of this deceitful age insist that others must change or the pseudo love will quit loving. Pseudo love is only interested in loving those who live up to its own expectations. Or should I say down to its expectations? The pseudo lover lives by the philosophy that he only loves what is easy and enjoyable! If a person becomes too unlovable, the pseudo lover just decides he will quit loving and finds someone else his love is capable of loving. It’s easy to see why love like this is so powerless and void of all that is great and noble!

The real lover loves because of what is within himself rather than for what is within the person loved. That’s the way God loves us! It’s in Him to love, regardless of how lovable or unlovable we might be! That’s the only kind of love that will turn lives, churches, families, or the world around.
