Do We Really Know How to Love?
Do we really know how to love Krys? I have learned over the last several years of failed relationship after failed relationship that either I have not even approached the shore of what romance novels; with their hot and steamy sex scenes, crazy romantic climaxes, and powerful endings, what love is and that quite possibly I have been just living in the sea of fake love while real love remains an unreachable island. I ask this question because maybe these relationships failed because I gave up on them, I didn't truly love them, or I was completely ignorant to how I was supposed to love them. What do you think? LOL!
Love never fails and it "endures all things," right? I'm perplexed at the notion that I could have been spared all the pain and sorrow of failed relationships, unwilling friend requests that lead to unhealthy romances, church-intimate relationships that blow up in your face, text messaged break-ups that leave you confused; a broken heart, lots of baggage, painful heart attacks, drowning in my tears; the darn list goes on and on, but I could have avoided all this crap if I just didn't use the fated words "I love you," said Joey as he signed away his sanity to yet another failed relationship all in the name of what I thought was LOVE?
True love is sacrificial and unconditional. Are we capable of loving another person this way? Krys are we able to be romantically involved with someone and love them unconditionally and sacrificially? If we use the words I love you, which by the way are MORE powerful than "I'm in love with you," can we truly love someone this way? Possibly I think we are on some large microscopic level only able to love lustfully and superficially. I want to believe that we are capable of such love on our own but the truth is...
We are unable to love a man or a woman this way without some help. Who can help us? God is actually the only one who can help us love another person, shoot to love people unconditionally. We have to make the choice Krys to love someone sacrificially. I've been enlightened and to be honest once you discover this level of love and you understand what love is, then you don't ACCEPT anything and you LOVE with every thing you HAVE and this time Krys this time we don't LOSE.
No more text or email break ups for me.
