I used to have very queasy feelings about the subject of love, I always felt it was overrated and overblown and further more, the word is blasted at us from every where, from music to entertainment.

Over the years, I have come to understand more and more the subject of love. When I was much younger, it was a word I didn’t like to hear, and I always refrained from showing any form of emotion attached to the word in public. Hey, don’t get me wrong, I was not starved of affection when I was much younger, I simply didn’t like PSOA (Public Show of Affection).  I felt that  as a guy it simply portended weakness to do PSOA, however that mindset has changed, infact now I love PSOA. but I digress back to the subject at hand. Love can leave you with very pleasant memories, it can also leave you with pain and agony, but what is love, someone defined it this way “Love… What is love? Love is to love someone for who they are, who they were, and who they will be.”
It means the ability to see other people beyond their physical attributes, I also believe love is a choice, God chose to love us and He demonstrated it practically, when love has attached conditions  then it has turned to something else. We are creatures of love and we were made to love. Love is the essence of God and defines his very nature, we were made in His image and likeness and so also possess that characteristic,  We need to begin to understand what love truly is, and not the erroneous pictures being painted for us thru media. We can choose the right things and we can choose to love the way we were meant to.
