.love. (not)

LOVE.
It is the most overused word in the english language. "I love that skirt... I love that movie... I love that computer... I love that desk? (why we love furniture is beyond me...)...I love that girl... I love my new cell phone... I love, I love, I love...

Webster defines love as: to hold dear, to cherish, to feel a lover's passion, devotion, or tenderness for, to thrive in.

Do we hold dear our new cell phone? Do we cherish our new couch? Do we thrive in seeing that new movie?

We want to be a generation of love, but do we even know what love means?

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." -1 John 4:7-12

When will we stop loving the world & starting loving God and the people He created?
