How to
find it
How to
give it
How to
keep it
-- Excerpts from an article by David Brandt Berg
Love and happiness are like perfume:
You cannot pour them on others without
getting a few drops on yourself.
To be genuine and lasting,
love must be based on a
more enduring foundation
than mere physical attraction
or fleshly gratification.
It must include an unselfish
desire to protect and help and
make someone else happy.
It must also involve admiration
for the other person’s finer
qualities.
Real love is a spiritual thing; it’s not merely physical.
It’s mostly manifested in spiritual and mental
companionship and compatibility, the likes and dislikes
and habits the two have in common.
A man or woman can
be in love with their
partner’s mind,
sentiments, spiritual
reactions, and
companionship – all
of which have little
or nothing to do with
physical beauty.
Those who seek only to gratify their
flesh or that of their mate will never find
complete satisfaction and happiness.
The things of this
earth can satisfy
the body, but only
God and His true
love can ever fill
that aching
spiritual void in the
heart, because He
created that place
for Himself alone.
True happiness comes not in your personal pursuit
of selfish pleasure and satisfaction, but in finding
God and giving His love and life to others, and
bringing them happiness.
Then happiness
will pursue and
overtake and
overwhelm you,
personally,
without you
even seeking it
for yourself.
That's the secret: Look for someone to make
happy, and then happiness will find you!
“Give, and it will be given to you”
(Luke 6:38).
"Whatever a man sows,
that he will also reap"
(Galatians 6:7).
Those are God's laws of the
spirit and are just as definite
as the laws of physics, such
as gravity. God's laws of the
spirit never fail.
They always work, either for you or against you
according to whether or not you follow them.
Life, liberty, and the giving of happiness to others--
these are things that only God can give and the
only things that will ever satisfy your spirit.
So if you want to
be happy and
make someone
else truly happy,
seek the
satisfaction of the
spirit that can be
found only in God
and His love!
God’s first and most important
law is love
--unselfish love for Him and others.
If you will obey that
law and give the love
that is His and others'
due, you will also
receive love, "for with
the same measure that
you use, it will be
measured back to you"
(Luke 6:38).
“GOD IS LOVE!”
By Keith Phillips
(1 John 4:8)
He is both the very essence of love and the Creator of love
in all its wonderful forms. And since God fills the earth, the
universe, and Heaven itself, there’s always plenty of love to
go around. In other words, the problem is not with Him.

So if you're looking to give and
