Sunday Morning - “Love”
Good morning & happy Sunday :-)
I hope this finds you full of love, feeling love for others and embracing loving yourself. Tomorrow is a day that seems to stress the importance of love. But many may not feel love, or the love they yearn for or misunderstand what true love is…
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love does not envy
Love does not boast
Love is not proud
Love is not rude
Love is not self-seeking
Love is not easily angered
Love keeps no record of wrong
Love does not delight in evil
Love rejoices in truth
Love always protects
Love always hopes
Love always perseveres
Love never fails
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-13
But I feel true love is unconditional love; the hardest to achieve, the most difficult to give and the for some, the most challenging to receive. While growing up I did not learn unconditional love. Therefore, it was hard for me to understand, accept or give. It took a lot of work, effort, time, sharing, listening, and being open to the possibility of it to start to embrace it and I am still working on it today. But I meet people who do not love themselves, which is the saddest of all. Our past, our childhood, our individual experiences have made it difficult to have true love for ourselves, but I believe it is the first place to start.
I pray you feel love today for yourself, for others and feel blessed that today is the first day of the rest of your life… :-)
peace & God bless
