The first level of pain in love comes when they don’t love you back. We can get over this suffering by rising to the level of loving by faith. In this case, just keep loving people and there will come a time when you are getting more love than you are giving. All through the Christian life it is wise to give what you would like to get. Others, others, others, not self is our creed.
Mt 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. In other words care more for others than self.
The second level of pain comes when the person that you love hurts you.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
2Co 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Ne 8:10b neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
As we see here God gives us the cure for this pain too.
The third level of pain isn’t curable as far as I know and that is when someone that you love hurts them self or gets hurt. I think that this may be God’s greatest pain because he let his son die to redeem us from it.
The devil wants us to draw back from real love because it really does hurt sometimes. Let’s mature and love as God asks us to anyway.
