Love part 1

Love, what does that really mean? That is something that someone should take a lot of time to think about, not just a couple of hours... or a day... or a week ... or even a year, but more like a lifetime. Here is a song by JJ Heller, it keeps reminding me what love should be like. 


"What Love Really Means" 
He cries in the corner where nobody sees 
He's the kid with the story no on would believe 
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please 
Could you send someone here who will love me?”

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner 
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says…

Who will love me for me? 
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said “I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life 
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love 
The love that you never knew

This song has been such an inspiration in my own life. I know that I struggled a little bit with accepting people for who they really are and loving them was even harder. I used to hate them for things they could do and the things I couldn't do. But now I have accepted the things I can't do or can't change; that has made a huge difference on how I look at people now. I love them for everything they can and can't do, for the things that scare them or the things that trouble them. 

Love means to love people for the good things about them, and love them for the bad things about them also. We should be willing to love them through the hard times as well as through the good times. I have so many opinions on what LOVE means to me but then if I typed it all out I would be here all night. So I will finish this tomorrow. 

A poem

REFLECTION:

When we look into the mirror,
what are we searching for?
We're searching for our reflection,
and we stop there.
We don't bother to search any further,
but God doesn't stop there.
He searches further in us.
He isn't looking for our beauty on the outside,
but he is looking for it on the inside.
He sees us for what truly matters.
He sees what's in our hearts,
and in Gods eyes,
that's where the real beauty lies.

"I'm tired of people telling me how I should live MY life, from now on I am going to live MY life for MYSELF and nobody else." Anonymous
