unfailing love

I read today that the "freaks" are coming out already for the Superbowl. One journalist wrote how his first vision was of a lady in white with red pumps. Apparently she had come to the stadium in Phoenix ready to get married to Eli or Tom, or whichever football hero would want to have her.
The world has a strange understanding of love. In "Time" magazine an article suggested that China was opening up to homosexuality and allowing people to have that sort of relationship. Only a decade or so ago they would have imprisoned and/or executed persons for even thinking of such a relationship. Does the whole world have to be gay? What will happen to the human race if we all decide to be gay? If my understanding is correct, only 5 % of the population is gay and yet we hear about it on TV, Movies, articles and the like as if it were the predominant subject the world over. Is this about love?
What is love?
Isaiah 55 speaks of the love God wants to shower on us. Verse 3 says this: "Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David." The LORD did great things for David. Can you imagine what he would do with us if we were willing to say "my way is wrong, Lord, I choose to live your way" ?
In my own life I have chosen to give up certain lusts and sins that the world calls lifestyle choices. It dawned on me one day that if I could overcome, with Christ's strength, the sins that I was wrapped up in, God could do more with me than I imagined. It was difficult because some things, like pornography, really had a hold on me. With God's help I did overcome my obsessions and can say I am free. There are other sins and weaknesses that I will have to deal with (pride, ambition, insecurity, etc) but I believe that the door for Jesus to work is wider open because this huge sin has been dealt with. Like an alcoholic I have to be careful that I don't drink from this bottle again. However, I feel the peace and freedom that come from choosing God's way and learning to love as he loves.
My wife is the primary target of this new love. As I learn to love God, I learn to love my wife. Then my children and then my friends become the recipients of this divine love. Ultimately what they will learn from me is that love is not about self-gratification but self-sacrifice. That is a huge lesson in itself. Christ is my example. Will you take up your cross daily, deny yourself and follow him? That is the path to understanding love.
Peace
