love
what is love the old age question. i love many things,but when i compare it with the meaning of the word,it hasnt matched up yet. so i have been fooled by what i thought was love.which happens to so many of us. if youve ever been hurt by love then it was not love,it could not have been. its either the real thing or its not,not sometimes,not on occasion,but all the time it must be what it claims or it is not true. anyone can be loving,but to be that consistently is the true test.
now,what is the definition of love?
according to paul the apostle,he gives a beautiful explanation that i tend to agree with. for if you dont believe his defintion then i would have to think you almost crazy. who would not want this,this love that he proclaims,all the time,consistently,its a beautiful picture,a picture of love that i should hope to find one day,whether in myself or another,or many to rejoice with all our love.
love,love is patient,love is kind,love is not rude,love is not self seeking,love does not envy,it does not boast,it is not proud,it is not easily angered,love keeps no record of wrongs,it does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth,it always protects,always trusts,always hopes and always perseveres.
ahhh that last one,the key,persevering.see anyone can do any one of those things,but to do it consistently=true love.
now when i look back to all the times i was in "love" i see those listed above,sometimes, but not all the time,and if it was true love well then we would still be persevering,showering in all of those wonderful attributes. so it must not have been,i was a fool on the wrong path,misled by our thoughts our own defintion of what love is,damn do we even know what we really want in the first place?except to fill that void of creation somewhere in the souls of all of us.
with this defintion of love i walk in that path,that search for the existing golden rose of love somewhere along the way amongst the weeds and thorns and brush that sprout up along the way,disguising their lies with a mask of what they call love.that mask that has fooled all of us.
the usual suspects line from spacey enters my head,"the greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world that he doesnt exist."
hats off devil.youve fooled us all.
but armed with the definition of true love,its hard to be fooled again.good luck finding your prize.always persevere.
