You must love when it is given and cherish and protect it with everything you have. All to often we spend so much time looking at the faults and neglect what really matters. Loving someone is loving them more than you love yourself. To give without being asked and to forgive each day and start fresh. It’s laughing more than arguing and not taking for granted the little things and moments that you are given with someone.
Love does only come around once in awhile.
It’s been a long while since I updated something from my personal journal that’s read-worthy. I made this one months ago and I haven’t been motivated to share it since now and thought this would help someone in some way. I remember I made it when overwhelmed with this emotion and just had to get it out through writing.
Is it something to gain from someone? Is it something you get back from getting or giving something for someone? Maybe clean clothes, warm food, apartment, beautiful words, sex, money and so on? And when you don’t give or receive them anymore, it will stop? You will stop loving? Or is it something totally different which man cannot measure? Can love exist when there is center which is measuring and comparing or does love exist only when all measuring and comparing totally gone? Is it some silly, childish romantic idea, without any touch of reality?
The word love is one of the most known word in the world, but what is the deepest meaning of that. What is love.
In my opinion the Bible has the best definition of it. It was thoroughly described by apostle Paul in the whole chapter 13 of the book of 1 Corinthians. It was best conceived in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 which goes as
“4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
Now that I think of it our society now has the opposite concept of love - the one driven by selfish and self centered desires. We are demanding our own way and thinking only of what benefits us and what makes us happy. That is why Satan always wins out causing relationships to fail, tear apart families and causing countless of broken hearts. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in a world where we practice the instructions written in the Book of Life?
I know the verse goes against everything that we think would make us happy in loving someone but that’s the fact that we often miss because of our humanity. If you can’t have faith in yourself that it would work then have faith on the perfect God who wrote it.
‘It is love that keeps the world turning and the stars in their spheres.’-Paulo Coelho
“I love you neither with my heart nor with my mind. Just in case the heart might stop, the mind will forget. I love you with my soul. Soul never stops or forget.”
♩ ♬ Call it anything but love ♩ ♬ And I will make sure to keep my distance ♬ Say I love you when you’re not listening ♩ ♬ I give you everything I am ♩ all my broken heart beats ♩ Until I know you’ll understand ♩ ♬
“I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go. I receive your love and I give you mine. Not the love of a man for a woman, not the love of a father for a child, not the love of God for his creatures. But a love with no name and no explanation. Like a river that cannot explain why it follows a particular course, but simply flows onwards. A love that asks for nothing and gives nothing in return; it is simply there. I will never be yours and you will never be mine; nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you.”
Hindi malilimutan mga araw natin kay sarap balikan. At lagi mong isipin walang ibang mahal kundi ikaw.
Not just tonight but every second of the day. Haaaayyyy…

♫♪ I never saw or met a man who walk on water but I still believe ♫♪ The more I live my life the less that I question all the things I just can’t see right in front of my eyes ♫♪ So I take a leap of faith and learn a few lessons ♫♪
◄ REW ► PLAY ▌▌PAUSE █▌STOP ►► FF “a truly beautiful song”
♫♪ I found you in the most unlikely way but really it was you who found me ♬ And I found myself in the gifts that you gave me ♬ You showed me love and no words could explain ♬ A love with the power to open the door to a world I was made for ♩ I’ll think of the way that you fill up my heart and I’ll be remembering you ♮ I wish you could stay but I’ll wait for the day and though you’ve gone away you’ll come back ♫♪
