My pastor, Brother Buddy Keyes, asked the “love” question in Sunday morning worship.
As I sat and listened to his sermon, I kept pondering the question. What does love mean to me? Love comes in so many forms…romantic, friend, family, and of course the love of God.
My heart has been sad for the past several months due to a family situation I am dealing with. Can we ever love someone too much or not enough? Will love heal all hurts? Do we have to see love to feel love?
I wish I knew the answers to all questions…but I don’t. I do know that no matter the hurt in our life, God never leaves us…he does not walk from us…but when you have tried over and over to reach out and rejection seems to be the “norm,” what do you do?
I miss my Florida grandsons so much…my heart actually hurts. Dickey and Lynda miss them so much…their hearts hurt. When you are constantly mistreated and mislead do you just give up? Do you walk away from part of your heart to save the other part of your heart? These questions just roll through my head. I know many of you have faced situations when maybe walking away was the best for everyone…maybe in time, the person or persons will realize how much you loved them…how much you cared…and how much pain you suffered. Life isn’t easy…but isn’t it wonderful to know God’s love is agape…pure and unconditional.
Tuesday is “love” day. I hope you have a love for that day…I hope you have many “loves” for that day. Think of people who have no one. About a week ago, I talked with an “adult” friend of mine whose husband passed away last year. The couple were married 65 years…had no children…and she is alone…think of those people on Valentines. If you know someone who “fits that bill” reach out to them…a card…a visit…a lunch date…show them your love. I think if we can show and share our love then love will come to us. Life isn’t all about me…it is about you. Give me strength, as I almost want to take my love away and hide it in the box that holds my other hurts…that place that “I don’t go there” to survive. Love is for giving…not keeping in a box. Find someone who needs your love on Valentines. I think you will find abundant love.
