Loving Madly

Love is a choice - it is an act of your will

Loving is and act of your will - it is a deliberate choice you make. This is radical or true love which transcends our emotions and operates on the principle of grace. You may not like the attitude or habits of a person but you choose to love the person.

Love is kindness - It involves forgiving

No one is perfect and as such, love will include some disappointments. While we see flaws in others, others see our flaws. The key is to forgive others, exercise kindness and help them overcome their weakness even as they help us overcome ours.

Love involves great effort - It is not for wimps

Be careful about the expectations you place on others to reciprocate your kindness. It is only when you don;t attach any conditions that you get the best results. Love is not for wimps. It's for courageous people to go beyond their feelings and do what is right!

Love is a process - It grows into maturity

Love like any seed planted takes careful nurturing to grow into a mature tree that bears good fruit. It has to be watered and nourished with lots of patience, huge doses of kindness and even scarifies. Simply put, love is not a short-term thing. Like fine wine, love matures over time and as you embark on your journey to Love, you'll taste of its sweetness! Remember that as you began loving others unconditionally, you'll be blessed even as you become a blessing!
