"Love"
Today I write about "Love"
The words that's been on most of our lips and minds in February.
Some of us go out of our way to make this one-day in February memorable for their partner.
You know I've realized not just now, but before I started to celebrate this day with people I've loved.
I'd go out of my way to make someone else's day epic, do the whole flowers, chocolates and dinner the whole Valentine's Day celebration.
But that doesn't proof anything to me about what Valentines Day says about love.
Does Valentine or St. Valentine was about a guy who lost his life due to someone he truly loved. A tragic fateful love story.
Love to me is someone who loves me not for what I can do, but for the love I have for him or her.
Yet that too also doesn’t proof much.
It’s two years ago I wrote this poem about love.
Then I went to search deeper, I wanted to know what God says about love. Until I came across one of my best scriptures in the book of Corinthians chapter 13.
"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. "
My own words love is kindness not just for one day on Valentines Day where we put out anger aside.
Love doesn't envy. No jealousy should be inside you. Its not boastful it holds no evil, it hasn't have an ego. Love should be equal, honorable, loyal, trustful, and respectful.
Love should be everything that comes out of you.
In securities isn't love.
Hatred isn't love.
Like they say there’s a thin line between love and hate.
Love should be gentle, freely given.
I believe love conquers all.
Why just show your loved one that she or he is loved on the 14th of February 2012, why not love yourself more each day so that when you with the one you love they'll know they are loved by you.
It will be in your eyes that glow that smile. Everything about them is love.
Love is universal, its something we all want in this life because without it we would feel that we lack something within us.
God is love. He loves us no matter our faults or mistakes.
Sometimes I wonder what if I do something wrong would my girlfriend forgive me. Will she accept that's who I am? And love me no matter what.
She might not, but I would know God's love is forever and infinity.
He loves me unconditionally that's why I love that scripture.
Ever wondered why at weddings after couples to be wed have this reading done.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres."
Like the song by Brandon Heath, Love Never Fails.
Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most
Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside
Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you
Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time
Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don't
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you
When my heart won't make a sound
When I can't turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this
Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life
Love is the river than flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you
---------------------
Love is out there; all you have to do is open your heart to the possibility of it.
It’s free as a bird, no price to pay.
If God's loves for us are free. Why should we have one day in our lives to tell our loved ones that we love them? "I Love You" once I said those words I held it true.
Universally today is about love. Enjoy it, embrace it and no matter if you far or near from your loved ones today just know you're in their thoughts. Those fighting for the safety of their countrymen, those working far away. Even those close by.
To all my followers, bloggers, friends, family.
Have a blessed and happy Valentine's Day.
God Bless
