It does not matter how many times or how deeply you have been hurt....you always go back for more in the hope to find the love that your soul is in search of. Thousands of books have been written about this topic of love and what you need to do in order to find it, to look after it and to keep it! Yet the deterioration in our relationships just seem to be increasing year after year.
This morning I read such a powerful scripture....one that sets the absolute foundation for love to be experienced in any form of relationship. It reeds, "...let us love in deed and in truth!"
Ain't that just so simple, beautiful and to be honest...powerful!!!
In any area of life where you can't be trusted, it is not possible for love to be present!!
Oh don't get me wrong, you will surely experience some intentions of love and words might be spoken about love, but it will not be pure and it will not be experienced....it will not be trusted. You might have a completely inaccurate picture of yourself in your head to what the world out there have, simply because the picture you have is different to what they experience of you in your deeds. What a wake up call......
One simple reference: Is your 'yes' your 'yes' and your 'no' your 'no' in all areas of your life?
When you make a commitment to someone, do you honor it? Or do you have to be reminded?
Did your child have to come remind you...nagging about when you are going to play with him/her like you said you would? Do you think your child trust you now? What message do you think are running in his/her head, "oh if my dad loved me he would have played with me".
You don't believe me? This carries on when we are older! You promised your wife that you will take care of something for her....then that evening she asks you about it and you forgot. Surely I do not have to remind you of the conversation that follows hahahahaa!!
So do you think she trusts you now to take care of it next time? NO!
Did she experience love in that moment? NO!
True love can only be created in a space where there is absolute truth and trust!
And yes, it is the small things that impacts on trust.....things we ignore and experience the issues that flow out of the absence of love being experience when it is too late! Our immediate reaction then is that of justification and passing blame....avoidance through ignorance, anger or jokes (insecure humor).
Come one people, we all have been created by Love to experience love. Look into your life and start living in truth and trust from this moment on....and true love will become possible for you and those around you that you care about greatly!
Go on, you are worth it!
