LOVE~

Let's talk about this four letter word

I have always thought love to be a silly thing. It's something I take seriously, personally, and I see it thrown around as if it were a ball. It's definitely not a word I can say easily, because I know how much it actually means. 

    I use to describe how much I like something, but I hardly use towards people, even family. 

I was asked that when I said I loved someone, to stop and think, would I take a bullet for them. It took me aback, and I had to really think it over; I realized I'd take a bullet for a lot of people, even if I didn't love them, and I didn't quite understand. For a while I didn't think I was capable of loving. I grew up learning to just let things go (let it gooooo~). However during a message at church I learned, I know how to love, I've known all my life, and I've been loving all my life. Unconditionally, the way your suppose to love, God's way. caring for people despite anything that make them seem different, love thy neighbor like thy self. It was quite shocking to hear this. That I've cared for so many that I have absolutely nothing to do with, and never knowing why. 

  Of course I'm not perfect and I will come across people I don't like, but it's not their fault, it's mine for not accepting them. Also I am quick to forgive, You may have wronged me, but eventually I will come around as long as you decide to come around as well.

Every now and then we don't receive apologies, and i think it's in our best interest to just accept the apology we never got and move on, especially if the other person has already moved passed the situation. Grudges are pointless, you're wasting your time and hurting yourself; they say it's like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die, and I agree whole heartedly.

Take care of yourself you guys, I don't want to you to forgive those who physically, verbally or mentally hurt you; I mean little things, like arguments with friends and similar things, but small things, all things small. And, maybe forgiving a murderer is difficult, but you just have to pray for them in hopes they find the right path, and things will fall in to place where they need to be.

Love, it's a big thing, a word with so much power, but is tossed around like nothing; almost as if it's lost it's value. It shouldn't have. I hope you all just take a moment and think about what that four letter word means to you.
