You may be looking at this question and wondering how to answer it. Well, I was hoping you could stop and think before responding. When you were growing up and someone said, "I love you?" How did it make you feel? Did you wonder why they said it? Did you give it any thought? We know that our parents love us so when they say it we know they mean it, and why they said it. Now, let's fast forward to the teenage years. When we were teenagers, our bodies started to go through the stage called puberty. Our emotions started to develop, we needed our privacy, and the things we once did when we were younger were not as fun anymore. We experienced having crushes going to parties, and dating. We wanted to stay out past ten and hang out with our friends. We wanted to have sleepovers and all of the things teenagers do. Well, now that boys started noticing girls differently things changed from just being friends. Well, here comes the heartbreak, heartache, headache, and shedding of tears. Now, that's when we learned that we had to protect our hearts from ever being hurt again at such a young age. This is where we sware off boys for good until our hearts mend.
Years came and went. This is where we decided to give love another try. Now we are grown and full of experience. We know what to look out for. We know that every guy has a line they will try to drop to get our attention, but we know about that all too well so, we are on the lookout to not go for that foolishness. Well, along comes "Joe". You think he may be the one. You both hit it off. Now you and he are in love and hate to be away from one another so, he asks you to marry him, you say yes, and the rest is history. A few children later, things start to dwindle downhill. You both are going in separate directions in your lives. The love isn't there anymore, but you stay together for the sake of your children. You try counseling to see if it may help the relationship, but things don't get better so, you both decide to end the marriage.
Love comes in many forms. You just have to pay attention. I see love in my life from those who love me. I see love in my life from God. I see love in my life because I have love in my heart. When you see love in your life you can share that love with someone who needs love in a Christian-friendly way. It doesn't have to always be about romance. Being kind to someone is showing someone love. Helping the homeless is showing someone love. Buying someone something to eat just because it shows someone love. Where do you see love in your life? What can you do to show someone love today?
