Giving True Love
It’s a good idea to first know what it is.
There is a common popular idea about true love that is completely false.
It is believing that it is rare and, therefore, a big deal, a huge decision, an earth shattering event.
The truth of the matter is that true willful love is practiced millions of times a day by ordinary people everywhere.
It is an act of love to go to work, to feed a child, to smile, to do a little more than expected.
Kindness is simply love in the little things.
Patience is simply describing the endurance true loving requires.
Imaginative romantic love, filled with flowers and perfume, is to true love what a painting is to the object the painting attempts to represent. It’s nice, but incomplete, lacking substance.
Don’t miss experiencing true love today because you are expecting it to show up in the popular preconceived Hallmark way. Find it through gentle words, smiles, and grace instead.
Well put Ben. It takes me back to your piece on messy people. Truly loving someone isn’t always easy; it can be messy, but in the end so worthwhile.
So inspiring - thank you
