Inspirational quotes about love
Love is one of God’s greatest gifts. Not only does love have the power to teach us. It also has the power to transform us. Let’s learn more below. Here are some inspirational love is when quotes for different seasons of life.
The meaning of love quotes
First and foremost, love comes from God. Without His love we wouldn’t know what love is nor would we be able to love others. We love because He first loved us. Our culture tells us that love is something that we fall into, but I believe this is dangerous. If we can fall into love, then we can fall out of love.
Love is not something that we fall into, but it is something that is built over time. Love is risky because trusting someone with your heart is risky. We choose to love one another in the difficult times. I believe that the divorce rates are high because many people forget what love is. Love endures all things (1 Corinthians 13:7) and through a committed desire to build the relationship the foundation of love grows stronger.
When your spouse ages and doesn’t look as good any more, you choose to love. When your spouse is acting just as difficult as you, you choose to love. When you don’t talk like you used to, you choose to love. When your spouse is too old to move and you have to take care of her/him, you choose to love. Movies can create fantasies of how things should be. However, in real life things happen. Love is a committed daily choice.

It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with.”

Quotes about feeling love
True love is not just feelings and emotions. True love involves action and sacrifice. There are times when you will not feel like you love your spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend. If love was just a feeling it wouldn’t mean anything because once that feeling is gone, then love is gone. Love fights for the person that you love. Love is committed. If you are married, love takes “I do” and “till death do us part” seriously. Love never quits.
Where do we see this type of love? We see this love between Jesus and His bride the church. Jesus never gives up on His people. He never says, “maybe I made a mistake.” When Christians ask for forgiveness, Christ doesn’t regret saving them. He continually shows mercy, love, and grace. When we do the same for our spouses that is a representation of Christ’s love for the church.
Love will have emotions, but when those butterflies are not there, love continues to fight. When love is just a feeling it won’t make it through hardship and when things are not as fun. Once again, love involves action and through tenacious action the feelings of love are amplified. With that said, love doesn’t excuse abuse or red flags, but it will fight to grow.

20. “Love as distinct from “being in love” is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask, and receive from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself.” C.S. Lewis

Getting closer to Christ is what increases our love for other people. By the token, when we get closer to the Lord we grow closer to our spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend.
