Love is more than a feeling

Love is more than a feeling, Love is not based on feelings alone.  Feelings are unpredictable, unstable, it changes overtime. Feelings just come and go. Nowadays a lot of married couple got divorce, why? because the foundation of their marriage was their feelings, as time goes by, those feelings changes so is their love for each other. True love is a choice, it is based on a commitment. Love is a choice, a careful choice we all should made. Remember Jesus, He chose to suffer for us. Remember the scene at the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. See, if Jesus would just allow to let His feelings rule over Him, He would have not suffered. He might just go away but He did not. He chose us that's why He choose to suffer the death at the cross to save you and me. Here's a poem I would like to share. I learned this poem when I was in high school, way back in the valentines day of  2002. I don't know who authored it but the message is exemplary.

Love is more than a feeling

Love is a DECISION

 A decision based on 

more than an attraction to a person.

Love is a careful process

of reasoning and commitment,

You think it through,

You weigh all the facts,

You make a conscious choice.

Marriage based on feelings alone

stand on dangerous ground.

That's because feelings can --

and will -- change,

But a love based on 

DECISION & COMMITMENT

will withstand the changing winds of feelings.

God shows us how to love each other

God sticks by us no matter what

through all sorts of feelings.

That's Unconditional Love.

Love is more than a feeling,

LOVE IS A DECISION

At the end of the poem.... I signed my name where I decide to commit to being the right person rather than finding the right person.
