The dictionary defines love as;
A strong positive emotion of regard and affection.
I love a lot of things. I love coffee, chocolate, sleep, old musicals, Bing Crosby, the color green, monkeys, Judy Garland and roses.
Love is a funny word. You see all the time in gooey romance movies the word "Love" is used a disgustingly yet entrancingly amount. We as humans are built with a desire, to love. But what does love truly mean.
The well known verse of the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13 says ;
"Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own way.
It is not irritable, and keeps no record of being wronged.
it does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always helpful, and endures through every circumstance." NLT.
WOAH. Love has a huge expectation to live up to. So how come in a relationship, whether single, married, divorced, widowed, or otherwise, Love only shows up when its missed. Shouldn't love be welcomed at all times? Maybe its just afraid.because there is so many things its meant to do and not do.
We create this boundary, Love is only allowed when we're happy with it. Otherwise we punish Love for being around because life is fighting with us.
Love and Life...the two reasons we wake up every morning. Next to "Lord" of course.
But I mean think about it. If Life is being ornery, then Love gets pushed aside.
In my view, God created Love to be a part of life. Good life, and bad life. Love is all these things that we continue to look passed because life is so huge and gets in the way. But as humans, we were created to need love, desire, a feeling of being cared for and the feeling of having something to care for.
As a growing woman I have come to realize this more and more. How important Love is in my life. True Love. The act of truly Loving something or truly feeling Loved. Without it we have only life. Flat, Plain old life. Sorry Life. Love rules and without it, our hearts are empty. And who wants that.

Live your LIFE to LOVE.
