Teens Talk - The Crazy Things People Do For Love

The Grand Rapids Times
By Marcel Gamble

There are thousands of cases reported of abusive relationships each day. The number of abuse victims continues to grow because of a feeling known as love.
People are dying. Being healthy isn’t their main prerogative. Many choose to eat the greasy foods that they love..
Individuals die on the street everyday. Money is what they love.
There are teens’ worldwide committing crimes. Their motivation is their homies in the hood showing them love. I now realize that people put a lot of energy in loving the things that they love in life.
Where is our love for God?
We put so much of our love into things that we are willing to die for and we give God whatever love that is left over. God doesn’t deserve to get the love we have left over from dealing with abusive lovers and spouses.
Many of us are capable of doing crazy things for love, but not willing to give the same dedication in loving God.
Everyone always say that love is a strong word that shouldn’t be played with. I’m left with the question, why is everyone playing with it then?
We need to do some serious thinking around who we are giving our love to and who we aren’t giving our love to.
Yes, our significant others love us while we are on earth but who loved us enough to put us on earth?
I’m going to leave you all with this (1 Corinthians 13:6),“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.”
