...but the greatest of these is love

For some time now I have always been trying to figure out what love was and is. I could never put it into words or give it a proper definition and whenever I asked someone about what love was I always got a different response. But I suppose in some way I am learning. I think about what I always thought love was. A strong feeling, maybe some actions you reserve only for a special person thrown in and just an eventual agreement of getting married. But there is more to it than that.

Honestly I am still figuring it out but I can say at least one thing: God is love. That's what love is supposed to be. Even then I can't put it into words but when it comes to God something in me just says give it all and love Him. Just...let it go. It talks about love in the Bible and God is all those things! I mean we read it so many different times but when we say "I love you" to someone it's just so important. I think we forgot what those words mean.

It means so much more than "i feel this strong emotion for you", it means I am willing to be patient, I am willing to forgive, I am willing to open myself up and hope you don't hurt me. It means...it means...I don't know! It just can't be fathomed and its something so great and wonderful. And people never stop to realize how much hurt really goes into a persons heart when they hurt other people who they're supposed to love. I mean when they hurt you, it never feels good does it? Yet we can hurt them and not even bat an eyelash. It makes no sense!

But that is love I suppose. I'm slowly learning what love is and unlearning what the world taught about love. Someday I'll figure it out and when I do I'll share it with all of you!
