The depth of love

Posted byChico’s MomPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , ,

Does love equal respect?

Does love equal compassion?

Or is love an over exaggerated emotion for human exploitation?

Tennyson says ‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’.

Did he find hope in the notion that love itself is a miracle?

What does a love, that someone would grieve for 17 years feel like?

The Taj Mahal was built by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife.

Construction started in 1632 AD and was completed in 1648 AD.

What does a love like that feel like?

The Song of Solomon is a lyric poem written to extol the virtues of love by King Solomon and is in the Bible.

“Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.”

The complete Bible has been translated into approximately 700 languages and sold over an estimated 100 million copies each year.

What does a love like that feel like?

*”I do believe love is like the fuel for our spirits journey.. that which propels our flesh.”

Is this why Adam defied God and ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge?

You defy the maker of heaven and earth because the ‘flesh propels you too’?

What does a love like that feel like?

Love that shows respect.

Love to hold your secrets.

Love to help you grow.

What does a love like that feel like?

Is the best to hope for a love that; once a year gives you flowers and chocolate?

Not because love compels you but because capitalism told you so?

And emotion not un-a-kin to lust to drive you to destruction and despair?

I know what a love like that feels like.

  2. There are so many kinds of love. The love that sounds me most is the love that God has for all humankind. He created us because He wanted to fellowship with us, He loves us and wants us to live Him. We blew it. And even though we by our actions, works, and even by our hearts desires, reject Him and run from Him He pursues us. He loves us so much that He sent Jesus to carry the weight of all the sins anyone will do or had ever sober

    2. Sorry, I accidentally hit send:
      Sins anyone had ever done. Jesus bore the shame, guilt, and pain so that we could be forgiven and brought back to that relationship that God desires for us to have.
      Love like that makes all other lives pale in comparison.
      Love like that. I can’t match, but I can accept it and try to show Him as much love as I am capable of.

    1. ‘I like who I am.
      There’s nothing wrong with me.
      Take me as I am.
      Or don’t take me at all.
      I’d rather be alone in my castle,
      than to share a hovel with you.
      I am perfect.
      I am.
      I.
      You come over to my way of thinking.
      Screw meeting in the middle.
      Compromise is for losers.’

      15. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

        “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.”
