This Is Love

Love began when God so loved the world he
gave his only begotten son, to die for our 
sins.
 Love is when two people say I do, even when
they become so ill, that they are not the 
person you once knew.
Reach out to them and see them through.
 Love has its greatest reward when one lays down his life for another.
Love is showing forgiveness, even when we don’t want to.
Love is the most powerful healer.
Love is trust, honesty, and must always be earned, but
this takes our whole life to learn.
 So hurry yourself to express 
your new way of understanding love. 
This way my friend you took a short cut.
