Real Love

Real love by itself is neither a feeling, a passion, an emotion or an attraction. Feelings change, passions cool, attraction fades and emotions have been well described as a Roller coaster ride. Jeremiah 31:3 says, "The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you." The people who God was speaking about in this passage were some of the most unfaithful people as a group that the World has ever known. Though God revealed His love to Israel over and over again, they repeatedly turned away from Him. Had love been an emotion, a passion, a feeling or an attraction God would have separated himself forever from them. He didn't and that says it all. Real love never fails and nothing can separate the believer from it.
