KEYS OF LOVE

--    By Pastor Ese Ochoga

Keys give access through doors and enable machines and systems to operate. Love is a machinery divinely built and made available to all men to operate in order to foster good interpersonal relationships and keep vices out of human communities while developing harmony, peace, affection, empathy, purity and several other virtues. The love machinery is lodged within us. Three keys will help to keep them running in full cycle: think love, speak love, and act love.

THINK LOVE: This is foundational and the first area to attend to. If we allow hate, vengeance, envy, deceit, lies, corrupt tendencies to have a place in our thought life we will repeatedly falter in love at home and outside. To love is to think good towards others, ultimately. This thought weighs how to respond to every situation and still remain within the love parenthesis. It thinks of how to channel love so  that it saves and does not destroy; it is not misinterpreted for lust or selfishness, so that it both covers the wrong and later disposes it completely. Love is a beautiful thought of how to deliver the ultimate good.

SPEAK LOVE: if one has conditioned the heart to love, it will be first evident in the tone and quality of speech and it is further reflected, often, in the facial appearance. Even when offended the language of love still proceeds forth. Are your words encouraging, reassuring, comforting and wishing others the best? Practice controlling your tone and facial expression which speaks volumes. Let love flow in your choice of words and expressions.

ACT LOVE: Actions that match your thoughts and speeches complete the love cycle. If the food is cooked and the aroma pervades everywhere but it is not delivered on the table for action to be taken on it, too bad, that will certainly be unsatisfying.

Now take up these keys- think, speak and act love. Keep working through them and see what wonderful transformation and returns it will bring back to you in time and eternity!
