Is there true love?

A David Castillo Dominici picture.

A very mature and close friend ones told me that there's nothing like love. That love does not exist , it's only sympathy and benefit that connects people. But in my opinion and understanding, to say that there is no love means that Christ is a liar. For he is the one who is love. Therefore, if Christ is love and he is real and true, then there is existence of true love.

Most of the world's problems today centre on man's refusal to acknowledge the presence of God's unconditional love in our lives. The persistent denial of his promises and deeds for us. The sturbornness of man in staying disobedient to his commands. He says, 'love one another just as I have loved you'. Man has decided to go it on his own, everyone to his own tent, deforming the natural truth and decidedly turning towards the opposite; embracing selfishness and greed, which in turn has given birth to capitalism, materialism and disregard for the scared nature of mankind. These vices has continued to blur man's eyes, mind and heart to the evidence of the goodness that emanates from loving actions.

God's love is the true love existent in the life of those who truly believe in Him. As such, they experience peace and harmony in their lives, they live in the wholesomeness of trust and kindness. They are those who truly love too. Those who find the true meaning of love by decidedly loving even those who do not treat them right just for the sake of the love that God himself has for us undeserving as we are.
