Love is beautiful.
Where did you go? How long will you be gone? Did we abuse you and call you names?
The world sees love in a different light. In the dim light where everything will look the same, the worlds version of love has been shattered and molded, painted and covered in glitter. It looks perfect, it feels perfect, it is temporarily satisfying. It may only satisfy for the moment, a day, even weeks, months or years. But eventually lies surface, paint cracks, holes begin to show. The worlds love is full of lies, it whispers to the young hearts, and the pure souls speaking nothing but deceit over them. They fall for its tricks, they compromise their values, they give all they are to someone who will willingly take their hearts and will willingly throw them back when they’re done.
The world has turned love into nothing but a word and an action. If you don’t say this word, if you don’t do this action, you don’t know love. So many fall into the trap of wanting to please others, if they please others then they will be wanted, called beautiful, but this is false. Too many people sell themselves short, way short of their worth. Eventually all they are left with is heartbreak and an incredibly hurtful feeling of shame. This is what the world wants us to think love has to offer.
This is the biggest lie of all.
Love is perfect, it cannot be changed, molded, painted over or made to shine any brighter than it already is. Because it is beautiful and it is flawless. There is no scale for love, no one deserves more than anyone else for we have all fallen short and all deserve to be punished. BUT love, this love, God’s love. It restores the most broken heart, it cleans the darkest stain, it forgets, it forgives, it loves. Love is desperate to love to be spoken of to be acted upon to be seen. No more whispering, no more hoping that there is such a thing as unfailing love, it is here and it is ready.
Love is beautiful.
