What is "love" ? truly.

Love is not a feeling.
Love is an action.


Do you really think that if you only ever say you love someone, but never show...are they going to feel loved? no. Love needs to be expressed. We need to hear it & see it.


Love is not what it's expressed to be these days. Love is suppose to be something that you share with the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, not something you just throw out there, hoping the boy will feel the same way.


"I love you" is special. It's not meant to be taken lightly & you're not suppose to mean it lightly either.


You're in-love with someone when you know 100% that you'd give your life for theirs, if EVER needed. If you're not fully willing to do that, you don't love them. At least, not in the way you think you do.


There are SO many songs out there, that {I'm a victim of it as well} make you all "happy inside." They do something, that sparks those "feelings." Feelings are just feelings, if they aren't followed up with something real. Something worth fighting for.


Would you fight for a friendship or relationship? Is there anything that important in your life, right now? There are so many people out there, right now, just dating because they wanna have "fun." I just want to say, that there will come a point in my life, that I have fun. But, it'll be with the right boy. I may not have a date on a Friday night like a lot of people my age do, but someday...I will. & I won't have the hurt & fears of my past relationships, because there won't be any.


Don't get me wrong, I'm NO where near perfect. I never have been & never will be. I'm just deciding to make this statement of purity.


If you don't truly love them, don't force yourself to say it. Stand firm on wanting to keep it for the right moment in time, when you feel it's finally time.

I wrote this while back, but tonight I've decided to finish it. It's just been a subject on my mind lately & I was talking to a lady the other day that mentioned that statement, "Love is not a feeling, it's an action." --it opened up a lot of questions for me. Why are the words, "I love you" just thrown out there these days? Is there nothing sacred anymore? Nothing that is kept for engagement or dare I say, marriage? It's not cool people. There are less & less people waiting in today's world. Most people haven't even heard of saving yourself for one, special person. It's just not common in this world today, but you know what is common? Teen pregnancy, abortions, STD's, divorces, drugs, relationship jumping, pornography....& many other things. It is rare to come in contact with people in the outside world that are still at least 50% saved.


It's tough, but I know that God has all of this in His hands. He knows what this world is coming to. He knows when the ending day will be. Crazy, huh? That God is ruler over everything? He knew that all this sin would enter our world & all the temptations that would haunt us. He knew it & He will one day put an end to it all, at least for us all that have devoted our lives to following Him.


Someday we will walk on streets of GOLD. Beautiful streets, side by side with our Heavenly Daddy....Who wouldn't want that?


I guess I kind of got off the subject of "love", but if you think about it, it all relates in one way or another.


Loves.
Grace.
