LOVE

© 2012 by Danna
LOVE—there are so many kinds . . .
LOVE as a mother for her children . . .
LOVE as a husband for his wife . . .
LOVE for your fellow man . . . and the sweet, innocent LOVE of a child . . .
LOVE for nature and God’s creatures . . .

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, as from God for His creation man.
Sometimes our heart seems like it will burst from dwelling fondly on particular recollections . . . 
Maybe it is that thought of spoken words of LOVE and affection from a spouse . . .
Maybe it’s that mother’s LOVE of pride and tenderness when her child makes the first attempt at the “firsts” in life, especially those first steps in leaving to establish another home, patterned after the LOVE known from mother . . .

And of course, there is LOVE for friends.  God brings them into our lives for a season and then they are gone, but oh, how much they were needed for such a time as this.
Sometimes LOVE is painful . . . 

Remember when you hurt for someone else because they hurt and you could do nothing but weep and grieve with them . . . 
You may have even asked God “Why?” but no answer came . . . 
Why was God silent when you needed Him to give you glowing words of comfort to speak . . .  
Maybe the best words are those that are never spoken; just the gentle hug of empathy and consolation for a friend.

Then there is that LOVE betrayed; oh, why did it have to happen . . . 
There were vows of LOVE eternal but eternity was short-lived . . .
We are in need of LOVE unconditional . . .
LOVE that is blind and deaf to our mistakes and the mistakes of others . . .
LOVE that remembers not the disappointments and heartaches and sins in life . . . 
We want and need them forgiven and remembered no more . . . 
Where do we go to find this kind of forgetful LOVE?

GOD IS LOVE!!!
