Training Resources for Loving People

Excerpt from “Finding True Love in a Prickly Pear World”

So, what might a proper, decent, and honorable love look like? Well, the definition that God brought to mind is “to think, speak, and act in such a way that respectfully cherishes, supports, and protects the character, integrity, and virtue of yourself and others with the utmost consideration for the unique and individual values, beliefs, opinions, and feelings held by both.”

What the heck is a prickly pear? Webster defines it as a spiny pear-shaped edible fruit that grows on the Opuntia cacti found in dry arid climates. So, what correlation does a prickly pear have with us? Well, it’s been said that the world is our oyster, and we are the pearls it produces. However, in this book, we will discover that the world is our cactus, and we are the prickly pear people it produces. This book provides a powerful resource to learn to love beyond what we’ve been taught. Within its pages, the attributes of true unconditional love are defined in vivid detail to explore what it is and how it acts. There is also the opportunity to reexamine the common beliefs about love and discover the stark contrast between God’s love and the way the world loves that have been promoted through the media, music, opinions/influences of our peers, and those in our Christian circles. This is a contemplative, life-changing journey that is sure to inspire us to think, speak, and act differently than the world around us in the way we love one another.

If you’re ready to find true love in this prickly pear world, your search for a love worth finding begins HERE!

To Understand:

That we are engineered to love conditionally from birth.
That our love for one another is limited, fallible, and must be earned, deserved, and reciprocated to survive.
That our definition of love and our beliefs about love are the reason our relationships look the way they do.
That our love for one another is contingent on each other, therefore, it is performance-based.
That it is impossible for us to unconditionally love ourselves and others.
Our love for each other can FAIL.

To Discover:

God is the only true source of unconditional love.
His love is limitless, infallible, and doesn’t have to be earned, deserved, or even reciprocated. He loved us when we were His enemy.
The love of God defined in Scripture can change our beliefs about love and transform our relationship with God and others.
His love is not contingent on us, therefore, there is nothing we can do to change His love for us.
With God, it is possible to love ourselves and others with His unconditional love.
God’s love NEVER FAILS!
