Why not love?

Love lingers on inside you, whether you have felt it ripped from your heart, or your smile. It waits patiently for the moment that you will accept its presence in your heart, because it is there, pushing your blood from your fingertips to your heart, to your brain. It is there.

Don't be afraid of this love, the love that lingers, it will bring you learning experiences, you will be thrown off cliffs and mountains, sometimes falling into oceans of warm water and sometimes into boiling hot lava. Your skin will melt, or you will be cleansed, you'll never know unless you allow yourself to see. 

Love is merciful and it is graceful, it brings kindness and it brings a sense of compassionate, but it has no definition. Love is un boundless, and is everywhere, and is everything. We feel and we love, we see and we love, we breathe and we love. Don't try and interpret your love, to figure it out, your mind can't undertake that. Embrace it. 

We think we know love, but are scared to show love. When we walk in the streets, we should greet those looking unhappy, and smile at those who are sullen. We must be open to people around us, be open to rejection, and be open to the idea that we can change the world. 

I believe in love. That's why I believe in Christ. He has shown me love when no one else could, and through His love, He is teaching me mercy and grace. I believe that if we loved more, hugged those who are feeling trampled, held the hands of the lonely and told the hated that they are loved, that slowly the world could change. 

In the darkest of nights, and brightest of days. In the rain, snow or sunshine. When we are laughing so much our stomach hurts or when we are crying till our throats burn, love remains. We are love, it flows through us, enriches us, re arranges us, and makes us different. We can love, so why not love?
