This is what LOVE means to me
So many times we misuse and abuse the word LOVE. We use the
word to describe something. To me it is not a description but a feeling; it is
something that you cannot put into words. To often we use the word LOVE to
describe a candy bar; “I love snickers bars” or an inanimate object like “I
love that couch.” LOVE is something special and should only be used on a
special person, someone that you have a deep-rooted feeling for. LOVE is an action. Anyone can say “I Love You” but showing LOVE is a whole different
story. LOVE is something you cannot show overnight. LOVE is something that
never stops if you truly LOVE someone. LOVE is the ability to see past a
person’s faults and see the good in them and bringing that good out in a person
no matter how long it takes Love is a decision to nurture another persons well
being. LOVE is giving your undivided attention with quality conversation. LOVE
is doing something together with focused attention. LOVE is a feeling that once
it is in your heart it NEVER leaves you, no matter what.
LOVE is NOT giving someone flowers and cards one day a year.
That is a gift that tells a person that you are thinking of them. LOVE is
giving someone yourself 365 days a year “til death do you part.”
LOVE is painful, LOVE is strength, LOVE is courage, and LOVE
is patience. LOVE is being able to forgive. LOVE is a commitment; True LOVE is
eternal it NEVER fades. NEVER.
LOVE is extremely complicated. You have to LOVE yourself
before you can LOVE anyone else. You have to know your true self before you can
know someone else. You have to be comfortable with who you are before you can
be comfortable with anyone else. You have to LOVE yourself in your heart before
you can give your heart to someone else. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom
before you know the true meaning of loving yourself.
Saying I LOVE you has no meaning unless it comes from the
heart. I LOVE YOU are just words, saying it just to say it devalues it. You
have to show it, you have to feel it in your heart. LOVEing someone is one of
the hardest things that you will ever do in life.
Today is a day of LOVE, everyday should be a day of
LOVE.
Thank you again for your friendship, words of compassion,
prayer and LOVE. I am truly blessed to have each and everyone one of you in my
life.
Please pray that God fills Gail’s heart with LOVE, strength
and happiness. Pray that she, forgives me, and that she understands that I am
changing through GOD. Pray that when we are BOTH ready, she finds herself back
to me and our marriage is restored and our LOVE is stronger than ever before
because I truly LOVE her and she LOVES me. Please pray that God gives us the
patience and strength to get through this part of our journey and come out
better, stronger and know our TRUE LOVE for each other.
LOVE,
Jim
