What is real love?
Real love is the love that count no wrongs,does not envy, keeps no malice, and is stainless without impurities. We can liken real love to Divine love which means love from God.
This is the same love God showed to us. The bible made me to understand that for over hundred years God refuses to listen to the sacrifices of men because of their iniquities. And on that day There came a question from Heaven WHO SHALL GO TO SAVE MAN? The heavens and the earth were silent, no one could say a word but JESUS CHRIST full of love and compassion said He will go.

And He came passing through the worm of a Virgin Mary to the world of mortals. Do if God should show us this kind love, why then can't we show to God that we also love Him as regarding the season we are into, The season of love.
Christnas is a season or time set aside to rejoice and celebrate the birth of A King JESUS CHRIST.
I will begin by quoting from the book of 1John 4:7-8 and it says Belove, let us love one another: For love is of God; and everyone that liveth is born of God , and knoweth God . He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Jesus Christ summarize the ten commandments in points from the book of Mark 22:30-31 which says we should love the Lord with all our heart, with all our might, with all our strength and with all our soul. And love our neighbours as we love ourselves. Now how do you love your neighbour? When I mean neighbour, am referring only to those that is living close to you or that like doing good to you but those that are in need, I mean the less previledge. This leads me to talking about giving to the poor.
Showing love to the less previledge
I discovered that one of the things one can do to please God this season is to donate hold heartedly. Jesus christ who thought us to love even practiced it to tell you that He does not teach you what He has not practiced. He first practiced this by giving sight to the blind man and many others. But alot of people and even some ministrts suggest that giving to the poor comes with little reward misinterpreting the book of Proverbs 19:17: He that had pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will He pay him again. But that's not true, remember what happened in John gospel 6:8-12 (feeding the five thousand men). That little showed love by giving the only food he had to Jesus for the seek of the multitudes, and the food having been multiplied by Jesus, the men ate and were satisfied and there was a leftovers of twelve baskets. I believe this leftovers was given to the boy. Really, in Practicing love there is a great reward.
So today I plegde to myself because of the love of God upon my life, I must also bless people to compromise with the season we are into.
You can as well bless other lives around you by donating what you have cheerfully to them to also compromise with this season. God bless you ......
