In our modern world, love is often portrayed as a magical feeling that sweeps us off our feet. We see it in movies, read about it in books, and hear about it in songs. But what if I told you that real love goes much deeper than butterflies in your stomach? True love isn’t about waiting for the right feelings – it’s about making intentional choices every single day. Just like choosing what to wear or what to eat, love is a decision we make moment by moment. When we understand this fundamental truth, it transforms how we approach all our relationships – with family, friends, and even those who are difficult to love.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4

Reflection Question

In what areas of your life have you been waiting for the ‘feeling’ of love before taking action to show love?

From the Sermon 

Love is not a feeling. It’s an action. Love is a choice. It is a choice that you make every single day.

Prayer

Father, help me understand that love is more than a feeling. Give me the strength to choose love daily, even when my emotions don’t align. Transform my understanding of love to match Your truth. Amen.
