Every man is afraid of something.

That's how you know he's in love with you. When's he's afraid of losing you.

Thought that that was a nice quote about love.
Fits the occasion. Just finished the movie Valentine's Day
What a sappy love movie.
Fits a sappy boy like me. I loved it.

It brought me back to two posts I wrote many many years ago.

The first: Hopeless Romance

The second: There Exists a Melody

Love Love Love.

One of my most favorite words.

Write the word on everything that I would write on.

One of the things I've thought about most.

What is love? Probably the most asked question.

Answer? I have none.

Oh how I would enjoy writing about all my brilliant knowledge of love.

What door to open, what corner to turn, what alley to look down...

But I know nothing about it.

Yet. There is something in me that longs dearly for it.

That is reflected in my eighth grade mind in Hopeless Romance.

And is once again reflected here, and probably here many more times.

But this time, I'm patient. I know one day it will come.

I want to know why I yearn for it. But, truthfully, only God knows.

I have an idea though.

I believe we feel the longing, because God feels the longing.

He loves. and loves. And loves some more.

Never-ending. Never-failing.

God is love.

We want it. We crave it. We need it.

He gives it and He wants it back.

However, our love is based on feelings and emotion.

His. Unconditional.

He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good;

He loves us because He is love.

Going back to what ours is based on.

I feel in my case my love is a girl.

The emotion I receive.

As is everyone's love.

It hurts us. It draws us into stuff.

And most of the time makes us feel good.

But, I want to really know what LOVE really is.

The only way to do that is to draw closer to LOVE.

And God is love.

A thousand times I've failed. His mercy remains.

Should I stumble again. I'm caught in His grace.

That is love.

I know, wholeheartedly, that if I draw near.

I will shine this love.

That is what I want more than anything.

To shine Him. Glorify Him in all I do.

I do not abandon my want for earthly love.

A love that will bring life.

A love that starts a family.

A love that reflects Christ and the church.

But instead, keep my focus on True Love.

And reflect that upon those around me.

Loving my savior. And my neighbor.

The most overused verse. But bound with so much meaning.

John 3:16. You know it, I don't have to say it.

That is what love is. I want to radiate it.

Encouraging you. From now until forever.

Put on love.
