Love is a force but never forced.

Discitions are probably the most prominent hing in the world we live in… everyday each and every one of us make a million or more discitions. 

Galatians 5:16 "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."

Notice that the world forces but that the spirit prompts!  This means that even after the spirit guides, we are still left with the discition to follow through or not.  Think about this… has God ever held you at gun point and threatening to shoot unless you love and serve Him?

1 John 4:19 "We love because he first loved us."

He loved us first and so gave His Son to die in our stead so that love may be so evident.  If this love does not move us then nothing will.  The fact of the matter is this… love is not something that needs to be protected or defended.  It will never take anything by force but rather persuades by will.
