THE POWER OF LOVE.

Love is a feeling of warm and tender personal attachment or deep affection and an inner and freely quality that is expressed outwardly as a commitment to seek the well-being of the people around us  through concrete acts. True love is the unmerited acceptance of people regardless who or what they are. 

Love is a central concept and the essential defining characteristic of the relationship between God and humans. The evidence that God is Love is abundant. This can be seen in the physical creation itself. With what remarkable care it has been made for the health, pleasure, and welfare of man.

The Scripture speaks of the True Love guided by principle, as love for righteousness or even love for one's enemies, for whom a person may not have affection. This expression of love is an unselfish devotion to righteousness and a sincere concern for the lasting welfare of others.

The entire narrative of the calling, election, covenant and promises made to the His chosen people is hereby declared to be the story of God's unmerited love, bestowed on the condition of the human heart. We as humans are easily drawn away from a commitment to God and stubbornly we resists God's Will.

God being the very personification of Love teaches us the levels in which His Love is denoted in the foregoing senses, through the context of the narratives in the Scripture determining the sense and degree of what His Love meant.

Love can be known only from the action it prompts. God reveals Himself as a 'Person', and figuratively speaks of His eyes, hands, heart, soul, and so forth. The nature and dominant quality of God's Love is seen in the gift of His Son and His Plan of Divine Salvation. Only by embracing the unity in His love that His Plan of Salvation requires, then we will be able to respond to Him with a true whole-hearted love. Moreover, God has the capacity to hate, the very oppose quality of love. His love for righteousness requires His hatred of wickedness.

Love is power and comes from God alone and nothing in the whole creation can separate the reconciled ones from His Powerful Love. The whole Law of the universe is summed up in a single commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself," meaning a kindly affection properly expressed to one another. A wrong kind of love could be guided by bad principles. For example, if you love those that love you only, of what credit is it to you? The principle upon which such type of love operate is: "Do good to me and I will do good to you." Other type of wrong love is the one based in the principle that the love for the things of the world will bring material benefit to the one who follows it. 

Love is the bond of mutual devotion and commitment expressed in a close friendship. Love also is the bond between parent and child. Parental love always seek the best for the child.
God's Love toward mankind is that of a Father toward His children. God displayed His Love in making  man in His image and likeness, with the capacity of love, and in the revelation of Himself to man through His Word and His Holy Spirit.

Physical and sexual attractions are the manifestation of powerful inner forces. They are strong and passionate and constitutes the emotional ingredient that comes with a conjugal union.

THE 7 ABOMINATIONS OF THE HEART.

Probervs 6:16-19 "There are 6 things the Lord hates and 7 things the Lord detest: Haughty Eyes, a Lying Tongue, Hands that Kill the innocent, a Heart that Plots evil, Feet that Race to do wrong, a False Witness who pours lies, a person who Sow Discord in a family.
- Haughty eyes (Attitude) is the main factor which drives the individual to act erratically. When the attitude is wounded then the following 6 conditions inside the heart follows. It is the most subtle of sins because it can infiltrate into our best behavior and defile it. But if the spirit behind the attitude finds a gentle and quiet disposition residing already in the deepest place of our heart then it run away.
- Lying (Speech) is the opposite of Truth and contrary to everything that is profitable to the human heart. But lying, unfortunately, has been part of the human kind from the beginning of time. At the creation of man, the haughty eyes of the woman led her to believe the lying tongue of the serpent about the reason of God's commandment 'not to eat from the forbidden tree'. This in turn led to the downfall of mankind.
- Hands that kill the innocent (Action) often is presented as a consequence of a proud heart that often resorts to lying to protect his image, and when it is uncovered, he will do away with that situation by murdering the person responsible for the act of truth. The person murdered is innocent but his blood is shed because of his standing in the way of the Truth, frustrating its way but not for long.
- Heart that plots evil (Thought) make the individuals degrade themselves in their minds thinking that the only way they can obtain pleasure is by doing evil. They make themselves feel good by seeing others suffer. This vice is placed in the middle of the list of the abominations because it is the fountain at the midst of all. We need to fill our heart with the knowledge of the right way to live, leaving no room for any vices.
- Feet that race (Action) to do wrong is referring to the wantonness of pleasure that comes from the mind of the person with the improper motivation making the individual feel no content with the right way of life. It is very well expressed by the verb 'racing' due to the the path in which the mind is settled and the feet moving along that path because of the powerful and wicked motivation.
- False witness who pours lies (Speech) is referring to keep a guard on our tongue and be very careful what we say. To falsely slander the character of another is to bear false witness against the individual.
- Person who sow discord in a family (Influence) is one of the most poisonous of the vices that eats the life of it, like a canker or gangrene does to the physical body. The person responsible for such division just feed its own nature by smooth words and flattering speech deceiving the hearts of the ones who give ear to it.
Our thoughts, our speech, our actions and how we influence others, are the things we need to monitor -as these are areas where we fall down if we are not careful.
