1. Agape Love (Selfless Love)The Bible calls us to love others with an unconditional, selfless love—agape love. This kind of love reflects God’s love for us, which is patient, kind, and not self-seeking (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). We are called to love everyone, regardless of whether or not romantic feelings are involved, by serving, caring, and seeking their highest good.Guarding Your Heart
2. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” While we are to love others deeply, we must be mindful of guarding our emotions and hearts. Becoming overly attached or entering into relationships that are not God’s will can lead us away from His path. Wisdom and discernment are essential when managing feelings.
3. Jesus Did Not Commit to EveryoneWhile Jesus loved all people, He did not commit Himself to everyone. In John 2:24-25, it says, “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.” Jesus understood the hearts of people and didn’t place His trust in everyone, knowing their intentions weren’t always pure. We can love others but must exercise discernment, trusting only those whom God has aligned with our purpose and well-being.
