LOVE IS…

My friend complained to me about her future boyfriend. She told me that he stopped calling her, texting her, or email her again but he got the time to update his blog hehe. Does it sound like a familiar situation to you? Then I gave her all the positive thinking that I could possibly give to her. Well, she said that she already done it all. The thing that bothered her most is ‘the missing feeling’. Yes, she’s in love with him. When we’re in love with someone, we usually want to spend most of our times with the one we love. We will give them our love, affection, attention, and time for them. We just want to give the best for her/him. I might say that we also demand the same thing in return. But what if they do not do the same thing to us? On my friend’s case, she became upset about everything. I think when you care to someone there’s also one thing that we should learn. It is to give them their own time. When you’re in love it means you walk together with the one you love to walk the sea, step into the boat and finally, sail the marriage ocean. Together! When you walk the sea there are times your loved one would be left behind. Maybe because of the wave’s too strong, or they step on the sharp rocks on the bottom, or maybe because they’re tired. When they stop, we also have to stop and look back. That’s it? Off course not, I think we also have to take our steps back to the place where she/he stopped. Then we encourage them, support them, pour our love to them, hold their hands and walk again. Together! What if we’re the one who got left behind? I think we should stop and take our time, after we’re ready we focus our attention, take a deep breath, and say: “Honey, now I’m ready to go again”.

And love is patient, is kind, not envious or boastful, or arrogant or rude, it doesn't insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth, it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails… (1 Cor 13)
