"Love Is A Touchy Subject”
In the video
Running Wolf talks about love being a touchy subject with his fear of death –
his past history of experiences with relationships brought his heart to a
conclusion that if he loved someone they would inevitably die which caused him
and his heart to be very cautious of love and of engaging in love
relationships.
In the past I too have been very timid of
relationships – I used to believe all people were not safe, and eventually they
would betray others in some way. My understandings of love have changed as
I have seen and understood about how Jesus sees love and people, and how He engaged
with others in the four gospels of the Bible - Jesus has an interesting and
intriguing view and perspective of love which has brought me to a different desire
to move differently when I am betrayed in relationships. Jesus’ views have also brought to me a different
understanding of how to respond to others when I fail them, which I do often,
whether it is revealed in my tone of voice, impatience, not being present when I
am with someone, etc. Jesus' definition of love is very different than how
I have understood what love is.
