What We Learn from Love

We find ourselves created out of love or for love, slipping though the chambers of our mothers’ womb… into the birth canal… and all of a sudden, we arrive.

We don’t know exactly where we are or where we are going but certainly we need affection and love to survive. Love becomes just as important to us as our first breath of life.

Love helps us to discover who we are and what our purpose is or shall be.

Love gives of itself and is not puffed up. Love covers and carries us through pain and disappointments in our life.

Love is an emotion imparted unto us the moment we become a living soul. Rather good, bad or ugly we long for it, we seek after it. It is a passion like no other.

Love causes us to make commitments like, I will, I do, I shall. Because of this emotion called love, we find ourselves being put into situations and circumstances that will hurt or even destroy us. Love affects our present, past and future. Love is an emotion a gift given to us from God and it should never ever hurt.

I wrote these words after coming out of a turbulent marriage. When I found myself alone again after 19 years, I had to reevaluate where I was at that particular time in my life and take ownership of the situation.

Yes, we have all done things in the name of love. These things have broken our heart and distracted us from our true destiny. Love does hurt, I know, but, I say to you that whatever you’re going through right now is not all there is. You can rebuild, restructure and reposition your life for greatness.

Greatness is a choice and we must choose it to survive the opposition. The greater one lies within you. You have the power to change your circumstances, with the help of God. Do not lose FAITH!

Continue to dream, because by dreaming it will allow you to embrace a larger vision of yourself. I promise you that if you will do this for yourself, “the best is yet to come.”
