Love to be real, it must
cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self. – Saint Mother Teresa of
Calcutta.
Love
is the word many of us understand as the world teaches us and not according to
what God teaches in His Word. Most of us because of this misunderstanding we
love according to the world and not according to the Word of God.
According
to the Word of God Jesus is demonstrating His love for us by suffering and
dying on the cross. If we love somebody then surely we have to learn to bear
all the hurt coming from that person.
Classic
act of love we can see between husband and wife, parents and children, teacher
and students. For example if a husband loves his wife then that husband should be
ready to go through pain coming to him from his wife, as the husband learns to
bear the pain and move on the love grows and the same vice versa. Without bearing
pain and hurt no relationship will last for long. This is the main reason many
relationship are strained today.
We
have to understand when we are loving someone we have to be ready to do any
sacrifice no matter how hard it is. Many a times being silent when someone we
love yells at us is the best sacrifice we can do and if everyone would have
followed this then there would be no relationship strained or broken.
We are all having ego and we have to
accept it and surrender to the Lord instead of ignoring and messing up our
life. When the person we love hurts us, because of our ego coming in between we
are not able to bear it and instead we would love to counter attack and make it
worst. We have to empty our ego, our selfishness only then we would be able to
love someone even if they hurt us.
