🌿 Thrive on More Love

“We’ve learned how to pretend to care — but forgotten how to truly love.”

Look around and you’ll see a world full of noise but empty of affection. We speak of “love” endlessly, yet so few of us actually know how to live it. Love has been commercialized, sexualized, politicized — and stripped of its sacred meaning.

When people hear the word love, they immediately think of romance or sex. But love is so much greater than that. It’s the unspoken bond between a father and his son, a mother and her daughter, a brother who protects his sister, a husband who sacrifices for his wife, a friend who stands beside you when no one else will.
Real love is selfless. It’s the quiet strength that carries you when the world falls apart.

💔 The Death of Genuine Affection

We live in a time when showing love is seen as weakness.
A father hugging his son too tightly is told he’s “too emotional.”
A friend expressing care is accused of having “an agenda.”
A husband trying to protect his wife is called “controlling.”
A woman showing loyalty is mocked for being “old-fashioned.”

Every gesture of tenderness is now measured, questioned, or coded through the lens of suspicion.
People don’t know how to give love anymore because they fear being misunderstood.
They don’t know how to receive love anymore because they doubt it’s real.

And so, humanity retreats — into its screens, its labels, its pride — slowly forgetting the warmth of genuine connection.

🧱 When Love Is Replaced by Lust and Labels

The world glorifies what God calls confusion.
It celebrates lust and calls it freedom.
It celebrates rebellion and calls it authenticity.
It celebrates perversion and calls it pride.

Yet when someone shows true love — patient, kind, forgiving — it makes others uncomfortable.
They see evil where there is purity, manipulation where there is sincerity.
They’ve been so conditioned by fake affection that real love looks foreign.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” — Isaiah 5:20

We are witnessing a time when people are more comfortable celebrating chaos than compassion.
When we can’t distinguish lust from love, or sin from sincerity, our souls lose direction.

❤️ Love Is the Language of God

True love has no agenda, no politics, no performance.
It is not filtered through identity or desire.
It is the reflection of God’s heart within us — patient, merciful, unconditional.

When a mother comforts her child, that’s love.
When a father works long nights to feed his family, that’s love.
When friends forgive each other after years of distance, that’s love.
When a spouse remains faithful through storms and trials, that’s love.

That is the love that holds civilizations together — and without it, everything collapses.

⚖️ Fear Has Made Us Clumsy

People today are terrified of love. They’ve been trained to act polite, not genuine.
They smile but do not feel.
They speak but do not mean.
They touch but do not connect.
All behavior has been codified, like software: programmed by trends, social pressure, and fear of rejection.

We are so afraid to make others uncomfortable that we no longer comfort at all.
We are so afraid of being judged that we no longer show our hearts.

But love without courage is dead.
If love doesn’t risk, it doesn’t live.
