The last few weeks have been so busy that I just haven't had time to sit and write. I have started jotting down ideas just to chuck them in the trash!
I have been bombarded with thoughts lately on love and what it really means to love and be loved. Love is so much more than just a word. It is a feeling, action, expression and the one thing that every human being longs for.
Love is also a journey. It takes you down stunning, precious, straight pathways, and then down narrow, rugged, not so glamorous ones. To find someone who can hold your hand and be by your side through the journey is something so sacred and truly rare.
1 Corinthians 13 gives a beautiful picture of what true love is. If you had everything you could possibly imagine, all the knowledge, all the money, everything you've ever wanted, but you have no love... nothing matters... you have nothing...
We got the pleasure this weekend to see Jake's best friend get married. This brought back memories of my wedding and all the emotions I was feeling. To be considered someones wife, is the most rewarding and romantic title I think I will ever carry. My husband is my best friend. He is the one person in the entire world that knows literally everything about me. To put my trust and confidence in someone is part of the foundation of love.
The word love is tossed about like a kite in the wind. It gets used and abused. To love someone is 100% devotion, whether you are on that beautiful path or the dark and bumpy one. 1 Cor 13 states Love is patient, love is kind......It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserves...Love NEVER fails.... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE.
To love is to be. I wish I could pick a better word to explain love but to me it really is to just be. Love is what completes empty spaces and fills voids. Love is what breaks hearts and creates new life. Love is what satisfies and what goals are based off of. To love is to be...
Being at the wedding this weekend made me think of the first time I looked up while walking down the isle to meet eyes with my husband. I was complete.
We are made with a purpose. And one of those purposes are to find love in one special person, to be with for the rest of your lives. That is being. It doesn't matter what the hardships bring, poverty, stress, heart break or even utter joy and happiness. Love can conquer anything. With love, overcoming anything becomes possible. As long as you are clining to love it will be okay.
To love is to be...
