I have never been close to my family as much to feel love from them. I am getting closer to my mother which is good. I havent had much luck in the relationship department. So I never loved a girl there. But I ask, for those who loved.. what does the feeling feel like? Is it that warm, cozy feeling in your heart? A sensation that you feel through your body as well?

Love is a choice. When a man and a woman fall in love, they choose to love eachother by choice. As the relationship grows that love changes and evolves. You have to make a choice to love someone to actually love them.

All my life, my family was never very close. Not much love expressed. I sometimes thought there was a lack of love, but I believe the love just wasn’t shared or experienced.
Last fall, I got a call from my Mother telling me my Dad was in the emergency room. He fell out of a tree and shattered his shoulder. When I got to the hospital and saw him laying there in pain, it was hard to see. I wanted to take his pain. I couldn’t stand seeing him like that. It was a sick feeling I had, but it was rooted in love for my Father. I think in different situations, for different people, love feels different.

The Greek language has 8 different words that describe different types of love. The English language doesn't give each context the proper "attention" IMHO.
I know a few of them but not all of them. Feleo... is kind of like, liking what you see. (visual) Abba... is a deep fatherly love I don't remember the rest off the top of my head. Sorry. |

Wow thanks, for that Dean as I was talking to a friend about all the kinds of love and was looking in my Bible dictionary and could not find them other than Agape love. I was going to post a thread asking and the Lord answered my question through you. God is so amazing.
