I watched an English debating contest on Astro last week. There is an open-ended question posted to the contestant: Do you choose to love others or being loved. The contestant chose to love, but it was a disastrous debate as she simply cannot defend himself when posted questions from the judges.
She was making a point that by doing good and by loving others, you will get peace and feel happy in return. She also stated that mothers have a natural instinct of loving their children unconditionally and that they will always feel better loving the child no matter what happens. The judges then reacted and asked: What if the child doesn’t love the mother in return? Will the mother still be happy if she continues to love them unconditionally?
Will you feel happier if you have someone who is by your side cares and loves you, or in the opposite and be a lover instead?
I agree from the judges that being love is more important than loving someone in the beginning. The Bible stated that "For God so love the world that He send His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
By understanding and experiencing God's unconditional love first, then we are able to bring His love to others. Valentine's Day is not just about romantic dinner or roses, it's about sharing the love. And the source of love is no other then from God Himself.
Happy Valentine's Day!
