So what is true love?

i ask myself that a lot

i know what it's not

it's not sex

anyone can do that

for selfishness or even

selflessness in a fit of

giving too much

it's not physical allure

the " prettiest" can spend hours

in front of a mirror

putting on a mask

a veneer

that hides their

real self

it's not a fake connection

where people

fabricate common ground

it's not a morphing into

who you think they want

it's not flashy

it's not fake

oh, no...

it's much deeper

it's a safe place

where you can be

your authentic self

no labels

no expectations

calm

covenantal

peace

patience

understanding

acceptance

a meeting of minds

a synchronicity of souls

two hearts harnessed

into one beat

not of this world

a place where you can finish

the other's sentences

a realm that only you

can go to

most people wait a lifetime

for a lifetime like that

some grab the ring

some watch it in the rearview

but the truth of

the matter remains

God never makes mistakes

with true love.

Amen.

β€œLove suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
