LOVE
Love is a state of being...............it is what each of us are made of and what resides inside. It is exhibited by acts of kindness, compassion, forgiveness, strength, empathy, joy, peace, and everything positive. Love does not hurt, but is definitely a word that is used loosely, often tossed around and bastardized. Take for an example a man that hits his woman, is emotionally abusive to her, yet afterwards professes his love...................again love doesn't hurt, physically or mentally or emotionally. Love feels your chest with happiness.
Love is your God given right, as that is exactly what you were made from ------ LOVE! So if love resides inside of you, then I believe it isn't something you fall into or out of, it isn't something that dies or should ever be used as a manipulative tool......because of how powerful it really is. Think about how it is used..............I love my wife, I love my kids, I love my car, I love my job, I love to hike, I love chocolate, I love my pet. The word is used to describe things that make us happy. With people I believe it doesn't change...........the word just may need to be replaced with a different word at the time. Example, My child didn't clean up their room. It doesn't make you stop loving the child, but disappointed or frustrated with their actions. Your pet pees in the house, you don't stop loving your pet, etc, etc.
Everyone has heard the expression you have to love yourself in order to love others. One of the best ways to "check" whether you are loving yourself is by taking a look at how you are treating others around you. If you are a caring, giving, non-judgmental, compassionate person to others, regardless of who they are, husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, friend or complete stranger, this reflects back on you. It speaks volumes of your character and you are allowing what is inside to radiate outwards. If you are egotistical, materialistic, mean, cruel, judgmental, stubborn, violent to others............you need to take a good hard look inside, because your dislike of yourself is spilling out. The love that is you has probably ran and hid from all the ugliness that you are displaying, hoping for the time you come back to the love that is you. Life and emotions have a way of taking us away or clouding our view of love, but it never leaves......................for once again it is you!!!
Never allow someone else's inability to express love to hinder you from knowing that LOVE is always yours!!!!! Nobody can take away your LOVE when you realize what Love really is---YOU!
