Your Love Is Your Life: A Wake-Up Call to a World That’s Forgotten What Love Is
We live in a world that talks about love constantly—but rarely understands it. We sing about it, we chase it, we idolize it, and we even weaponize it. But if you strip away that noise, the confusion, and the straight-up counterfeit extras, you’ll find something crazy: most people do not know what love is. And because they don’t know what love is, they do not know who they are. They don’t know how to live. They don’t know how to love.
Let me say it more plain: your love is your life. Not your job. Not your status. Not your bank account. Not your reputation. Not your relationships. Your love—what you love, how you love, and who you love—is the very essence of your existence. It defines you. It says who you are. Not anyone else. Only you. If you can stop long enough to figure out what that is, you'll see that it actually drives you. Depending on what that is— how you love... It either saves you or destroys you. It is the definition of insanity, the love attraction, and without failure the self fulfilling prophecy.
But here’s the jacked up part: many people are living without love. Or worse, they’re living with a distorted version of it. They’ve traded real love for lust, for comfort, for control, for convenience. They’ve confused love with attention, with validation, with emotional highs. And in doing so, they’ve lost control of the plot in their own lives.
So let’s get back to the beginning. Let’s talk about what love really is.
Love Is Not a Feeling
Love is not butterflies in your stomach. It’s not the rush of attraction. It’s not the thrill of being wanted. Those things fade. They fluctuate. They deceive. Real love is not a feeling—it’s a decision. A commitment. A sacrifice. It's obedience. And now that i've said that half of you are going to drop off. But suck it up buttercup, and i'm not done.
Jesus didn’t feel like going to the cross. He chose it. He didn’t wait for warm fuzzies before laying down His life. And the man that thinks so is a fool.Including me. He loved us with blood, with pain, with obedience. That’s love. That’s life.
If your love only shows up when it’s easy, it’s not love. If your love disappears when it’s inconvenient, it’s not love. If your love is all about you—your needs, your desires, your comfort—it’s not love. It’s self-interest dressed up in romance, desire, and all that.
Walt Disney BS.
Spoiler alert: This is not a movie people, this is not hollywood: This is real life. This is your life. And you're about halfway through it. So start living it.
Love Is What You Worship
What do you love most? That’s what you worship. How you love those things is how you worship. And what you worship shapes your life. Your love is your life.
Some people worship money. Some worship fame. Some worship attention and others' relationships. Some worship themselves. But the Bible is clear: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). That’s not a suggestion. That’s the foundation of life.
If you love anything more than God, you’re building your life on quick sand. It will collapse. It will betray you. It will 100 percent FYU. It will leave you empty.
Your love is your life. So if your love is misplaced, your life will be misaligned. If your love is shallow, your life will be hollow. If your love is selfish, your life will be chaotic.
Love Is Obedience
We’ve romanticized love into something soft and sentimental. But God's Love? It’s loyal. It’s obedience.
Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). That’s not emotional manipulation. That’s truth. (Jon 17:17) Love without obedience is rebellion. It’s lip service. It’s fake. (Matt 15:8, Tit 1:16, Isa 29:13)
You can’t say you love God and live in disobedience. You can’t say you love people and treat them like tools. You can’t say you love truth and compromise it for comfort.
Love is not about how you feel (Luke22:42, Psm 40:8, John 4:34, Rom 13:2, Phil 2:8,)—it’s about how you live. It’s about what you choose. It’s about who you serve.
Love Is Not Tolerance
Let’s be clear: love is not tolerance. Love doesn’t mean accepting every bad act. Love doesn’t mean staying silent when people are destroying themselves.
Love speaks truth. Love confronts sin. Love calls people higher.
If you see someone drowning and you say, “I don’t want to offend them by telling them they’re in danger,” that’s not love. That’s Fear. Real love take on rejection in its face. Real love tells the truth. Real love saves.
Jesus didn’t tolerate sin—He died to defeat it. He didn’t affirm brokenness—He healed it. He didn’t avoid confrontation—He embraced the percecution, the cross, and then hell.
If your version of love never challenges, never convicts, never corrects—it’s not love. It’s compromise.
💎 Love Is the Measure of Your Life
At the end of your life, I promise you, God won’t ask how many followers you had. He won’t ask how successful you were. He won’t ask how popular you were. He’ll ask how you loved.
Did you love Him with all your heart? Did you love your neighbor as yourself? (Matt22:39, Mark12:31, Luje 10:27, Lev 19:18) Did you love your enemies? Did you love the truth? (John 17:17) Did you love consistently and courageously? (Deu31:6, Jos 1:6,9)
Your love is your life. It’s the measure of your soul. It’s the legacy you leave. And above all it is life's overarching currency.
Love Is a Person
Ultimately, love is not a concept. Love is a Person. Love is Jesus. Ohh now you get it.
He is the standard. He is the source. He is the perfect example. He is the embodiment of perfect love.
If you desire to know what love looks like, look at the his walk.
And if you desire to live a life that matters, a life that lasts, a life that reflects heaven—then love like Him. Love Him. Let His love define you, refine you, and transform you. (Rom12:2)
A Call to Action for ya
This is not a feel-good message. This is a wake up call. Too many people are dying with full bank accounts and empty uncircumcised hearts. Too many people are chasing success and losing their souls. Too many are chasing women, too many are chasing men, too many are chasing an apology, Too many people are calling lust “love” and calling compromise “grace.”
It’s time to repent. It’s time to return. It’s time to rebuild our lives on real, syraight up love.
Ask yourself:
- What do I love most?
- Who do I love most?
- How do I love when it’s hard?
- Do I love God enough to obey Him?
- Do I love people enough to tell them the truth?
Those are only a few but your answers will help reveal your life. Because your love is your life.
