Love is what you want it to be for You!
This may remind you about what I said three days ago! (God is what you want God to be for You.)We all make up our beliefs, our perceptions, our interpretations and our meanings for everything.
We decide Love is what we experienced as love, usually from early childhood.
Love may be food, if you were “loved” with food.
Love may be approval, if you were loved with criticism.
Love may be limitation, restriction and punishment, if you were loved with limits.
Love may be freedom, if you were loved with freedom.
Love may be touch, if you were loved with touching.
Love may be special words, if you were loved with nicknames and loving expressions.
Love may be gifts, if you were loved with things and requests for things being honored.
Love may be quality time, if you were loved with special time with a loved one.
Love may be having things done for you or with you, if you were love with acts of service.
There are an infinite number of ways to be loved and to be loving.
Sometimes our desire for love is the vision of being loved totally differently than by our parents.
There are those who avoid being loved in “yucky” ways, that we didn’t appreciate as children.
There are those who try to stay away from being loved because they fear a repeat of what was upsetting.
Love has many names and faces.
Love is seen as form and function.
Love is often believed to be emotional.
Love may be seen as attachment and neediness.
Love is portrayed often as passionate and sensual.
Love can be described as spiritual and everlasting.
Love may appear and disappear in a cloud of hate.
Love seems to change form depending on the focus of our love.
Love may seem to pass us by as we wait on the sidelines, hungry to be loved.
Love may be replaced by the suspicion, jealousy and restriction in our fear love will leave us.
Love……My definitions from over the years…….
What is Love?Love is what you choose to have it be for You.
Love is a creative energy and life force.
Love is powerful.
Love is eternal.
Love never ends.
The only mistake we ever make is when we forget to return to Love.
Learn to extend the Love you are and you will never feel lonely or unloved.
Love is received as it is given.
Love is given without expectation, condition or need to get anything in return.
Love is freedom and trust.
Loving you, truly and forever!
Betty LueLOVEThere is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
No gulf that enough love will not bridge;
No wall that enough love will not throw down;
No sin that enough love will not redeem.
It makes no difference
how deeply seated may be the trouble,
How hopeless the outlook,
How muddled the tangle,
How great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest
and most powerful being in the world.
