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 unconditional:  not conditional or limited : absolute, unqualified

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
