First, let me come clean. I am approaching this subject from a long and extensive life's book of knowledge. I served as a state trooper, a city policeman, a combat soldier several times and a counter terrorism specialist, i have witnessed in my life, infidelity, selfishness, arrogance, self promotion, uncontrolled anger, self esteem issues, poor self image, desperation, lust. wow you might say, don't you see anything positive? I have witnessed a young persons self sacrifice caring for the elderly, a child giving a flower to a little girl he days before wouldn't have been seen with her, a mother working two jobs selflessly carrying the weight of the home in care of her children. I have witnessed a father run through a hail of bullets to save his son, i have seen the evil in a man or woman's heart, i have seen love break down walls and build up relationships. So it is not to complicated. We in this generation have replaced the word lust with the word love. refusing to acknowledge they are vastly different subjects. Lust being a chemical reaction in the brain, being that insatiable feeling of desire and want, created by the view of beauty and the uncontrolled desire of wanting pure sex. At times it is driven by the need to control someone they want and desire to dominate. I have witnessed a woman beaten brutally and after the husband or boyfriend is taken into custody, the woman touting she loves him as she begs for the officer to release him. Her desire for self survival in confused with the idea of love, and when the boyfriend get out, the assaults, verbal abuse, and often infidelity by the male continues. She seems to except anything to guarantee her own survival no matter the cost to her personally, sometimes leading to the ultimate sacrifice, her life. In every corner of the world, children and adults alike confuse the amazing feeling for the moment as love, forgetting that love is built over time, now comes the question of love at first sight, it should be lust at first sight resulting in the construction of a love relationship. So, now after all of this, what are you trying to relay, can love spring from a letter, i say yes it can, how, love is a choice we make every day. we choose to love and with that choice our hearts rejoice when we see each other. Can i be mad at someone and still love them, or forgive them for an action that was very hurtful? yes again as we learn to deal with our moments of anger and realize the frailties in our selves, it becomes easier to choose to love and forgive rather than carry the burden in our hearts. I don't want this to be a Bible lesson, but the Bible has strong insight to the condition we call love. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. So these are a few samples of love, the last of the verses says it all, for who can love everyone with out it being a daily choice. finally if we are giving all that we have to our lover, and she is doing the same. you have no need for personal jealousy, anger, quarrels, there would be only love. i leave you with this last thought, when you feel anger or frustration building between your second half, don't respond unkind, take the by the hand to the bedroom, close the door and strip each other naked, you will be surprised how fast your frustration and ager will subside, seeking only what is best for each of you.
