HA! What a corny title....but it caught your eye didn't it??? We humans love talking about love and relationships. Probably because at the center of life its self lies love and relationships. Whether for the good or for the bad, every one of our lives are trapped in the sticky tentacles of love and relationships. Maybe you were born because your mother wanted someone to love her unconditionally, or because your father wanted to feel that he had accomplished something in life. Or more recently, you may have discovered that you've allowed yourself to be trampled on and your self esteem to be shot down because you "really love" that special person in your life. You may even walk around was a satisfied smile, and a jumpy heart because you've found the person who you want to spend the rest of your life with. You could even be reading this and thinking of that friend who has always been there for you and who seems to know you inside and out.
It doesn't matter what your martial status is or how many friends you have or have lost. The number of people who've disappointed, neglected, or laughed at you isn't important either. What's important is that love will always be enough. There isn't a heart break, financial miscalculation, depression, or confusion that love can't fix. I'm not talking about the love that we all long for from another human being. I'm talking about the love that is given freely and undeservingly to us by God. Stop and think about the last time you were sad and the last time you were happy. It was love that got you through both of those times. God loves us enough to allow us to experience sadness so that we can appreciate the happy times that much more and so that we can take those sad experiences and use them to show love, help, and comfort to someone else. He gives us happiness to encourage us when those sad times come around again. I'm not here to tackle the question of why bad things happen to good people because bad things happen no matter how good or bad you are. That's a no-brainer. The real question is what will you let love solve today? There are so many problems that each one of us have: insecurities, phobias, deficiencies, and selfishness. I'm a firm believer that love, true love, God's love can solve them all. Like any medicine or 12 step program, we must be patient and wait for the results. God's love can work instantaneously, but it doesn't always because sometimes our aliments have progressed to a fatal and almost life threatening stage. The good news is that His love will be enough. You won't need to take anything else. So the next time your human love or realtionship seems to be infecting your life with its negativity, please pop a LOVE pill. (Yeah, and I realize that I switched to a medical prespective, I don't know why.)
