Love is not a feeling as many people believe it is; it is a choice to be with someone regardless of who he or she is, how badly behaved the person is, etc.
Love is pain. And sacrifice, but it’s also the most beautiful thing in the world when it’s real and reciprocated.
Imagine someone knowing everything about you. Everything, even the small things. The things you are embarrassed about and don’t want anyone to know. Imagine messing up, and even letting that person down. They forgive you. They are wise enough to read between the lines of the situation, and they don’t judge you for it. They love you.
Truly there is no fear in love according to the Bible and I cannot help but wonder why people claim they love someone but are afraid of losing the one they claim to love.
Anyone who is afraid to lose you is not in love with you. Love is powerful, love is crazy. Love and fear are not classmates or co-equals. Where love can travel to, fear cannot. What love can do, fear cannot.
Love makes you see the possible in the impossible. Love makes you see dreams come true when you have not yet started. Love makes you do crazy things you can't explain or see yourself doing when you were not in love.
Love makes you take risk for a stranger; a risk you will never ever take for your relative. Love makes you deny the truth, and believe in fairytales. Love makes you a talkative when you naturally hate to talk. Love gives you energy that energy drinks cannot give.
Love makes you give your all to someone, go to bed on empty stomach yet smiling.
Love makes us more human, thoughtful, considerate, caring, compassionate and affectionate. When you love, you express it and your actions draw the one you love close to you.
Expressing how we feel makes us happy, we don't get tired of doing that and nobody forces us to do so.
These days people don't do that, they rather try their best to impress you and soon get tired of doing so. That is not love. That is manipulation. People are only impressed with our action when care is truly expressed.
I wonder why people go out of their way to beg for love, a thing that should freely be given to you. Begging for it makes it fake. If they love you, they are drawn to you, they can't live without you. The love they have for you leaves them breathless.
Love makes you see good in people and situations. It isn’t love when people claim to love you but all they see are your shortfalls, weaknesses and flaws. It is not love when all people do to you is to blame, accuse, criticize, and insult you.
When people are in love with you, they fall in love with every little thing of yours. Your smile, gestures, effort. They don't do that because of what you give them, or the big things you have such as money, property, luxury, etc.
In conclusion "Many waters cannot quench the flame of love, neither can the floods drown it. If a man tried to buy it with everything he owned, he couldn’t do it" - Song of Songs 8:4:7.
Thank you.
