Words and meanings

I realised that asking for the right things when praying is very important. Not so much for the choice of words but because intentions are usually articulated by words. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John1:1) When we institute trust, we are often told to be able to take another person’s word for the subject matter. So if we do not know how to ask the right things from God, we do not know what we actually want from God and so how are we able to present our request if we know not what we want?

Like for example, when we subsituted the meaning for "like" for the meaning of "love", the world will be confused and empty, forever looking but never finding. This demostrates is the power of the media doesn't it? Are we also slowly becoming desensitised from all these things? Are we beginning to be like Lot living in Sodom flirting with Sin? Its also interesting to note that how people devalue the meaning of love while some people overate it and worship it as a god.

Love cannot be engineered but can be cultured. Theres alot of things that we call as love are not really love at all. True Love is unconditional and needs no "because". If we are loving people based on the reason that Christ first loved us, we have not loved at all. This is the precise reason why non believers call us hypocrites.

What does passion really mean, what does love really mean? When we change the meaning of a word we change the meaning of the world.
