Unselfish love-Can it be real?

It's Valentine's Day. Love in its various forms comes to mind especially this day. Most of us when we think about love, we think about the kind of love that happens between a man and a woman. That can be good if it's not perverted to its lowest form. Selfless love between a man and a woman takes a lot of hard work and dedication. You have to get out of the mindset that you are the ultimate decision maker. This is hard. All of us want to be our own decision makers. We struggle when we feel that our needs are not being satisfied.

I thought a lot about the example that Jesus gave us when he sacrificed himself for us. His love was and still is an unselfish love. It boggles the mind to think about all he has done for us. Sometimes you question its realness. Could it possibly be real that he could love us so much to die? What can we do that will reflect our gratitude for everything he's provided and been?

We can love each other by listening and not judging the people around us. We can reach out and touch someone. When we do this, then we reflect God's love.
