Think on these things

What is the opposite of Love?
Believe it or not,it is not Hate, but Control.
The opposite of love is control.
And when I take a moment to think about this, I do believe it is true. Love allows you to be you, to choose the way that you want to go. Love is kind and patient and always looks out for your best interest. Love allows you space to explore, to grow, to become. Love wants you to live life abundantly.
While control, on the other hand, insists on having its way. Control is restrictive and limiting and just feels tight. Control is always about keeping its interests and desires number one. Control is selfish.
The scripture says, God is love. God does not coerce us into anything. We have the ability to choose our course of action, concerning our lives. Love looks out for you and promises to direct your path, leading you in the way that you should go. Love promises to never leave you nor forsake you. Love says, "cast your cares upon Me because I care for you." God is Love and Love is good.
