Love is the movement?

Rescue is Possible.
Stop the Bleeding
Love is the Movement

When I first herd that, I did not understand why Love was the movement. What made them decide to make love the movement? Why was Love the focus?

Rescue is possible
Stop the bleeding
Love is the movement

The first two made sense to me. Rescue is possible; people need to know that rescue is possible. I didn’t think rescue was possible, I did not think I would be able to quit cutting.
Stop the bleeding; we need to stop the bleeding, we need to get the word out that cutting does more harm than good. You can’t continue to cut forever, the bleeding has to stop.
But the love part I just didn’t get. Why love? Why is Love the movement? Why did they choose to stick that part in there? Well I get it now. I have had so many people who have told me I am stupid, who have told me I am crazy, I have even had people tell me that I am not a Christian, all because I cut. If I did not have people in my life who encouraged me, who LOVED me, who told me that I could stop cutting, people who encouraged me to get help, people I could talk to and know that they would not look at me differently or love me any less. If those people were not there I would be in bad shape. If all I had were people telling me I was stupid and God would never forgive me, if all I had were people tearing me down then I would not be where I am right now. That is why love is the movement. Love is HUGE. We human beings need to know we are loved. That is how we were designed, we need to know we are loved. I would rather hear I love you and I don't want you hurting yourself anymore verses your stupid and I cant believe your doing this I never want to speak to you again. I mean who would you listen to the person who loves you or the person who thinks your stupid and never wants to talk to you again? Love it the movement.
