love, what a strange concept
as i've grown up, i've been able to learn a lot of things about love
for one, that it never fails
now this may be hard to believe, because if love never fails then how come divorce and break-ups exist?
well there is only logical solution, the love wasn't real
now you can argue with me all day about how you "loved" that one person, but it just wasn't working out for either of you
now to me, that doesn't sound like love
love is fighting
love is patient, love is kind
love is sacrifice
love is un-ending, it never gives up, it never runs out
love never fails
but the part that is truly devastating, is that true love may have only been felt by one person
now i'm not here to tell you that one's love was fake, but if that person chose (keyword: chose) to love no longer, they never truly loved
love does not change, it does not make conditions
it does not decide one day, hey it's time to move on
love doesn't work that way,
love never fails
i think the concept of "love" has been twisted and altered in our world to lead us to believe we can fall in and out of love
ha, it's funny to believe you can "fall out of love", there is no such concept
love cannot be broken, or altered or demanded
love occurs naturally, and love is unconditional
take the love of God for example, that is pure love
there is nothing in this entire universe that will ever be able to separate us from God's overwhelming love
no matter how many times we've fallen short, betrayed, gone against or ran away from God's love, it's always there
it always welcomes us home with open arms,
and offers grace at any given opportunity
now that, is love.
and i'm not here to tell you that you cannot love, because no love can ever amount to the love of God
but simply showing that true love is something that never really leaves, and if it does, it wasn't ever deeply present
because if you do choose to truly love, you will do anything
you will fight until death does you part
you will invest all you have
you will give up areas of your life that may be hard in order to make it work
because after all,
love
never
fails.
