Have we forgotten the real meaning of love or we never knew what the true meaning of love was or is? People tend to use the words I love you to get them what they want. Words to hold on to something that may not be meant to be. Is love mental or is love the essence of value of ones self? style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" We all been hurt at some point in time I dont know why I am writing about this subject. Yes, I been hurt healed and hurt again. I am over it and happily in love with my God and myself. I say my God because you have to have a personal relationship with God to even figure out what true love is and stands for. Know him for yourself style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" Love is simple but we make it hard¦instead of letting love come we place demands and restrictions on the ones we love sometimes it works and sometimes it don and when we get hurt we blame love we blame everything but ourselves. We fall into the traps that we set for love, we are the cause of us getting hurt love does not hurt. Love is having courage of telling the truth and be who we are and allow those we love to do the same. Love is not a tool or a weapon. It allows you to see more about yourself. They say you receive what you put out. You have to be love or continue to fall into the traps and continue to hurt yourself. Because you fail to realize who you are and what love is. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" I dont really think it is one meaning of love. I do know you cant be fully present in your loving if youre happy or sad some of the time. You must love yourself, be fully able to stand in the truth of who you are. Stop making excuses, blaming and be willing to stand for whom you are. Know what you want and until you are willing to stand in love with love for the love of yourself you can not give fully to another, you will be causing yourself and another pain. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" So who do you think you are not? You are your world you make your world. Love yourself and offer yourself everything you desire. You stand for yourself when no one else is. Looking back on past hurt learn from it and build on it. So who do you think you are not? Why in being who you are, which is being a child of God if it is good enough for God why not good enough for you? Learning to love you is the key to true love. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" Know that your life has purpose and meaning, understand you have value. Let know one take this away from you. Find the courage to let God love you. Your joy will come your light will shine. For his love will never forsake you or hurt you. His love is everlasting humans will fail you But God will forever be. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" Do you want to be free? Tell the truth and understand yourself share your vision for yourself before you share it with another then be clear. Dont ask another to do something that you know you wouldnt do or is impossible to do. Grow in love and wisdom and stop making excuses for yourself and dont look for placing the blame rethink and see what your traps of love is and were and then begin to heal.
