Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not proud.... ~ (1 Corinthians 13:4)
Love has the strength to make you grow. It has the power to carry you through your darkest hours, yet in the same sense, Love is capable of putting you in your lowest place. It is great and almighty for It has the power to hold your heart in its hands. It promises to protect and cherish; however, at times, it seems that those promises are meant to be broken. It can shatter as hard as glass or stand tall like a mountain. Love is all seeing and all knowing, existing all around us. It is present in our hearts, enabling us to hear its cries, yet we refuse to listen. We ignore the warm feeling of its gentle touch and its sweet smell because we are afraid of It. We force ourselves to lock it away, refusing to accept what it has to offer. It waits patiently with open arms until we are ready to allow ourselves to succumb to its beauty. When the moment comes and we learn to trust, we find that Love is as vulnerable as we are. Upon opening our eyes to what is in front of us, we realize that Love is willing to put forth all its strength if we give it a chance. In turn, we discover that it exists in our minds and in our hearts and what we really fear is what we think it is instead of accepting who it is and what it has to offer. ~ Bailie Hagerman
