Love Me!

'Love me to make me happy Love me to ward off loneliness inside me Love me to fulfill me Love me to value me Love me to belong to somebody. Love me to be with you in spirit and body Love me to restore my dignity Love me to feel being loved by you.' 'Love me in the morning Love me at noon Love me in the evening Love me at dawn Love me in all seasons Love me when crises strike Never get tired to love me, support me and affirm me.' But baby, love is not something to be demanded from a beloved. Love is a gift, freely given It is a willed sacrifice. Love is not only an emotion that flickers off and on Love is decision. Love is the will to love. And since we as humans cannot perfectly love We need to learn from Jesus, The source of perfect love: the act and will of serving, of forgiving, of renewing. of saving by giving his life. ________ April 24,2020
