Saying I love you is so very lovely; but if your actions don’t agree with the words, whatever it is, it isn’t love. Love doesn’t backbite and slander. It doesn’t help itself, but it gives of itself and expects nothing in return, even though it gets plenty in return especially if it’s paired rightfully. You don’t give 110% and the other member, you can barely get 2%. 

The most perfect love is godly love, and the greatest love was Christ ‘s example. If we are not loving according to 1 Corinthians 13th chapter, we are deceiving ourselves. God’s Word provides the most sound teachings on the topic love, The Word of God will always be my source and guiding light to always love. 

 

CAREFUL HOW WE LOVE 

We must love so carefully,
though beautifully and spiritually,
Must ever love so prayerfully,
Making sure it’s truly love. 

Love should not be secretly, 
but publicly and accountably,
Not destructively, but constructively,
Take care for how we love.

Love should not be questionably,
but sacredly not untruthfully 
witch’craftily, or evilly, 
selfishly or deceivingly, 
oh it’s unbelievably, 
what’s passed off as true love. 

Love is not what you say, 
It’s more what you do,
Behind the back love, and to the face too,
Love doesn’t harm ...or ever lie to you,
If only you knew... what I know that you do,

You would be very careful,
So much more very careful,
We must all be careful 
Careful how we love.
