Love the most excellent way
We should give our partners/friends/ family the most excellent love
This was written for my love, G
I can speak the most beautiful words but without love they are mere hollow sounds, sounds of a resounding gong. If I give you all I have and all I possess and I am without the most excellent love, I gain nothing.
I have thought long and hard what love is, as life was wrapping around me and suffocating me, suffocating who I am and how I was loving you. And through ancient scripture, it came alive and smacked me in the very depth of my stomach. The very depth of who I wanted to be :
LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND
IT DOES NOT ENVY AND IT DOES NOT BOAST
IT IS NOT PROUD AND IT IS NOT RUDE
IT IS NOT SELF SEEKING AND KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS
LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES IN THE TRUTH
IT ALWAYS PROTECTS AND ALWAYS TRUSTS
ALWAYS HOPES AND ALWAYS PERSEVERES
LOVE NEVER FAILS
And the reality is that if this is what love is, I have not loved you,
So today I put my childish ways behind me, wrestling with my sinful heart. I see these three remain :
FAITH HOPE AND LOVE,
So from today I promise you this,
A patient love, wrapped in kindness, a love that knows not to be rude and a love that is not self seeking, but seeking to serve. A love not easily angered and a heart that keeps no record of wrong.
I promise to always protect you, always trusting always persevering to be better.
AND TO LOVE YOU ALWAYS, THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY
