Do everything in love. ~1 Corinthians 16:14~
Precious Child,
Love is not for the hasty heart. It is not for the flighty, the frivolous, the faithless, or the fickle. Love requires a steadiness that does not give up or give in. It means bearing with your loved one's flaws while celebrating his gifts. It requires forgiving the worst while hoping for the best. Real love decorates the days with simple acts of kindness, small but thoughtful deeds that lift the spirit and light the dark corners of the soul.
Are you wondering if you have what it takes to love like this? I hate to tell you this, but apart from me, you'll find it impossible. But if you will turn to me, I'll fill you with the Spirit of love, through whom all things are possible.
The One Who Is Love,
>God
