Now many people have different perceptions and definitions for the word LOVE. Many peopel debate about whether it is a feeling or is their more to it. Love to me is not just a feeling , but an action. I say this because when you say to someone that you love them, you just do not say it but show it in your actions. You show it by random acts of kindness from the heart, because you simply care/love this person, you show it threw affection and so forth. You can continously say that you love "HIM" or "HER" but it words truely ever enough for the heart? I don't think so. The word love these days are as common as the trends and style of clothing we wear. It is used loosely. When love can be a magical word almost but a word that can also cause destruction. One must be extremely careful when using the "L" Word.

There are also many kinds of love. Love can be found anywhere and everywhere. Not in just a significant other. That is our common mistake, we rely on love from our boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives etc. When you need to love yourself first before loving anyone else. When you love yourself you have enough love to share it with someone else. You can find love in a passion you may have for something, in a niece or nephew, in a great friend, in your pet, in music , in God.

For those of you who are believers in Christ, like I am. The bible speaks about love. We make it so complicated but it is so simple. In 1 Corinthians 13:3-5 (New International Version)


3. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love is a beautiful thing. And it should be shared with everyone. A person can die from a broken heart when they are deprived love. So I say listen, love is so grand and so huge, we should share it with everyone. Lets not just limit our love to our BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND lets love one another. Lets spread love around, so that is contiagious and people are unable to recipricate the feeling. My heart was once very bitter and cold. But I found love again. I found it in my family, my friends, my job, my church, my dog, my nephew, in life and in God. Where will you find it in?
