The Beauty of True Love

True love's beauty is great to behold- When it is expressed freely and in earnestness, It can build relationships that no force can penetrate so as to destroy or demean. Forces may come against Love, and it may be shaken; But love is a stronghold that binds in oneness of spirit and mind. Fires may come to burn out Love but love will quench the fire as thought drowned by water. Love will survive for it is long suffering; Love is a sure foundation for it is everlasting. Love is compassionate for it is not self-pleasing. Love never fails for it is a shield to protect against all destruction, whether natural or spiritual. Love is tender, outreaching, forgiving, and understanding. It reaches forth to build and to repair even what seems to be the most hopeless of situations. True Love expressed will traverse further than any man-made substance ever could. Love will come through the storm and the rain of life; walk through thorns and thistles; braze through the wind an the fire; Yet, come forth untarnished or bruised as more than a conqueror; And spring forward to greater aspirations- For God is Love, and it is forever.
