Love is nothing less than Lovely!

A lesson on LOVE.

A constant thought on my mind. In more ways than just the 'puppy love' you have for a boyfriend. Parental love. Sibling Love. Love for friends. Love from animals. Love for the unlovable. For the underdogs. Giving love. Receiving love. It's such a BROAD BROAD topic.

But of course...when people think of love they immediately think of love for a partner, that special someone, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband, a wife, a crush, a Justin Bieber (I LOVE HIM!...no. Really. It's true Love!)

Love isn't guaranteed by all means. I definitely was not given the Love Punch card when I was born promising me perfect love from 10 people of my choice. And the other side of love is one of the most ugly things (in my opinion) a human can face. Heartbreak. The loss of Love.

Having my heart recently shattered (Disclaimer: I don't think it was love per say...but you get the idea). I understand. The hurt. The pain. (But there is a flip side! Losing 5-10 lbs because you can't eat! YES!!)

But this heartache. This loss of love rekindled a love that will burn much brighter than any love I will have the rest of my life. And for that I am thankful for my heartache.

You see, when I was born I DID get a Love Punch card! As did every other human being. A punch card that says if you decide to get this card punched you will receive the most amazing Love for the rest of your life and eternity. A love that surpasses all understanding. A Love that is Patient, Kind, Forgiving, Not Jealous or Proud. A Love that doesn't demand it's own way. Doesn't anger. Endures through every circumstance. (1Corinthians 13) A Love that no matter what you do will ALWAYS, ALWAYS ALWAYS take you back. That is always there and will never leave you.

And I am SO in LOVE with that Love of my Savior Jesus.
The love that came for me, suffered and died for me because He couldn't bear the thought of living without me. My heart breaks for the people that don't get it. Whose hearts are so closed to the idea.

In the midst of heartache, I'm so in love and on cloud 9. That's my Jesus. I got my card punched. It's good to know that forever and always I'll never be without Love. That I can always come back Home. That my mistakes are covered by his Love. That this Love will never change. That this Love is enough. (Good to Know- Francesca Battestelli)

Not just puppy Love, but Perfect Love.  And that is beautiful. ♥
