Love, Love and more Love!!! As most know this is what I am all about. I love to love and because I love the way I love some find it hard to receive and love back. Did ya get all of that? I made a quote on my facebook this past week that goes something like this..."It's ok...you've never been loved like this before so you're not sure how to receive it...don't worry when you're ready to receive I'll still be here waiting".
There are many people that do not understand me...don't feel bad you're not meant to understand me. But, there are a few that completely, totally and ultimately 'get me'. I like to call us lovers. As a dear beloved friend and big sister in Christ always tells me...birds of a feather flock together...and that's what us lovers do. We still love all but also on the flip side...we need love in return as well so we tend to have to seek out other lovers and go for a fly.
I have loved many people and honestly I can say I don't stop loving people. The love may change...relationships may change but love is never ending no matter how hard it gets. I love someone very much...someone that has hurt me time and time again. My 'big sis' tells me we're like Charlie Brown and Lucy. Just as Charlie Brown trusts Lucy to hold the ball for him while he kicks...she always pulls the ball out from under him and he's back where he started laying flat on his back.
I love and I love hard. I have been so hurt, neglected and abused in my life...yet I have been loved and I will be love because I know I am not the only one that has been hurt in life. I always say you never know anyone's life story...your love to that stranger may be exactly what that person needs. Love can be 'complicated' some you can love close and some need to be loved from a distance...but none the less still LOVE. The 'phrase' iphone/ipod has really taken a run with things. Now days you see everything from using the 'phrase' but adding new words at the end everything from ipoop to imusic lol. Well here is mine...iLove. I love to love there is no better thing in life to do than to love.
My life has been spared because 1 man loved me so much that he gave me a 2nd chance at life. I love because He first loved me and He has shown me how to love with abundant grace. On December 2 2005 my life was spared and it's by the grace of God that I am alive now. I went home cried my eyes out and right then and there said God I am yours use me I will follow you and do what you want me to. God's greatest commandment is to love. I don't even know what to say any more besides LOVE. Pray and ask God how to love and he will show you. You can not love others if you do not have love and the only place to get true, pure unconditional love is from Christ.
Who do you need to love today? That co-worker at work that is a bit slow and no one has the time for? Is it the homeless man on the street that we all jet pass on our way to work? Is it the mother/father that left you abandoned and all alone? Some people ask me how do I love those that hurt me so badly. My reply...how can Christ love me when I hurt him so badly? Who am I to deny someone love??
This all seems like ramble to me of course...but my faithful followers wanted a blog and you got it.
Love, Hugs & Blessings.

These words so eloquently explain why you love, and how it it that you cannot live without loving. The truth is so honestly plain, yet it is a truth that is so hard to live every day. With the Holy Spirit and a willingness to listen we can love without it seeming so complicated. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your heart with us.
ReplyDeleteWhile in my addiction I didn't love myself, so how could I love others. I didn't I just went thru the motions; the expected. What a lie to God! Let alone to my family who never stopped loving me. I'm tearing up thinking about the pain I caused. Much of it to myself!
ReplyDeleteI have been continuing to fill & refill that spiritual void. Among the 1st things going in was that God never left me, never stopped loving me. And that I could love myself again, even with all the damage I did.
I feel my heart has changed alot in the past 629 days. In my job I see addicts who are in active addiction and know I can't judge them anymore. God has given me new eyes. It's hard to explain.
I don't always have to like a person, but I do have to love them. Jesus did. He set the example. No matter what. :)
