Intangible Love: Loving Yourself For Better Or Worse

And the point is....... LOVE. What is it? This word is one that is tossed around often enough to cause one to be confused as to the real meaning. Everyone says that they love you. People you just met claim that they love you. You just joined a church and the mean lady who was looking at you funny from the third pew back, all of a sudden, proclaims that she loves you. O-Kay...' Your father, who has never spent a dime on you, writes letters from prison saying how much he loves you. If everyone loves you, why is it that you still feel unloved and unfulfilled? Where are all these people who love you when you need them the most? Why, ironically, no one seems to have the time or the 'want to' to nurture or develop fruitful and authentic relationships with you since, they are always whispering in your ear, "I love you?" Strange, huh? I believe the word, love, has such an emotional attachment to it that we, as a human race, have conjured up ways to make the word have a false meaning that makes us feel good rather than what it is intended to be. If a person have been rejected and mistreated all their life without having a demonstration of true enduring love, the first person who utters those words, I love you, will have captured the attention of the rejected one and on the other hand, the rejected one will plead allegiance to the one who deceitfully claims to love him or her. Despite no proof of love, no action of love, and in some instance, no strong relationship based off love, those words alone can leave people more mentally challenged than ever before and can lead one down a dark road of control and manipulation unless the Spirit of Truth is able to bring light and revelation on a situation before it becomes too late. What then is true love? One definition of love according to the webster's dictionary which can be used for the basis of this book is warm affection. This is such a vague explanation of the word love especially since people have become so cold. No wonder people from all over the world are confused as to what it means! But as always, my source of getting wisdom and understanding of matters of the heart come from the Spirit, which is the necessary ingredient on getting answers to all of life's unanswered and unexplainable questions. The answers are always within!
