Love is a Choice?

Everyday, I hear the references to choice. My dear friend Mickey, says that we constantly have choices to make, whether we love other people or not. I can understand that point of view. Love has its expression in both actions and words, but love itself is not the actions or the words. Some say that love is a commitment, and I suppose that this is yet another expression of love. But, by itself, commitment cannot fully express all that is love is.

God is love. And everything He has done has been a continual expression of Himself. We are creations of love, creatures designed to be a reflection of His nature and to bask in, and dwell in it. Love is more than a choice and more than a commitment and more than a feeling. It is the expression of God through His creation that creates a wholeness out of parts. Two or more are unified into one body. The expression of love creates a joining, a touch, a direct link into the person of God. Action, choice, commitment, and words are merely methods to the madness of God creating wholeness and oneness in the world!
