L❤️ve

At the sound of this one word, some hearts flutter, some others skip a beat. There is rush
of adrenaline for some; others blush.

Love, surprisingly, has been equated with emotions. But is it all that is there to
it? Emotions keep changing; don’t they? Today, you feel madly in love with someone;
when the sun rises the next day you wonder where all the “love” you felt yesterday has
gone; don’t you?

So love does not properly belong to the realm of emotions; though emotions do colour
our love with all kinds of splashes. Then what is love?

It is basically a decision to hold the other person in the highest esteem, value him or her
above all else, and cherish that person like no other and hold him or her so close and
dear to one’s heart.

Love is not about getting; it is about giving.

Love is not about selfishness; it is about sacrifice.
Love is not about being on top of the charts; it is about humility, the willingness to serve.
Love is not about bragging; it is about doing things for the other without advertising.
Love is not about covering up evil; it is about being transparent and living in the light.
Love is not about falsehood; it is about speaking the truth.

Love is not static; it grows.

The limitless potential for growth, for discovery, for being surprised, for finding joy in
little things, are all what makes love, love.

Finally, we cannot think on love without thinking of God. For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have eternal life.”

Not one of us can earn this love; but each one of us can respond to it.
