Just. LoVE

In this large world of ours, there is a common denominator in us all. Love. In its purest form, it is absolutely un-ordinary. Many have fought for it, some against it. However the energy of its molecular structure will never change. It is a challenge that in most times faces no immediate gratification, as it resides in the midst of hate. Heavy huh?  Well thats what makes it one of the hardest things to do, and accept. For that exemplary reason, we have unrealistic movie endings, incessant amounts of love songs, thus creating widely misconstrued perceptions of it.
 However, the vast trenches of this subject  have compelled me to write out some of my thoughts regarding the generalities, and due to all of the advice I have voluntarily and involuntarily been forced to give over the past few weeks, I hope this helps someone.First things first, house rules. I do not profess to be a educator of love, an anchor of great love stories, or an emotional exile, fresh off the boat from the seas of the heart. I am an enthusiast, a realist, a dedicator to a belief that people naturally attract what they are. If I had nickel for how many times Ive heard a friend, overheard a co-worker, or even said myself, "Why do I consistently fall for the same thing." Id be a multi-millionaire, who could PAY for love (Ill return to this). Heck, if I took a class for each  mistake Ive made with the opposite sex, I'd be a genius. Naive, maybe. Without fault, hardly. We as people welcome into our lives similar characteristics of what we are and what we want to be. I like to call it a gravitational mirror.The Law of Attraction speaks when our admission of fault does not. Just like life, to have something you've never have, you gotta do something you've never done before.This is true in finding love as well. Carrying along the same "game plan" and same "tools" wont work. Think about it would you use a butter knife on a steak, or a steak knife on bread? No. It is imperative to be well-equipped when on this battlefield of love and war.  This may mean, trying something you've never done before to get results better than your previous. I am a firm believer, and abolitionalist of  the 'little nickel that could' syndrome. Too many times the mirror plays tricks and has one thinking they are more than they really are, so in turn, they go looking for a dime, when in reality they were only a little nickel that 'thought they could, thought they could' until the smoke clears, they realize they cant. Cant aim for something higher without investing in adequate change in themselves.People get used, feelings get hurt, and they are back to square one asking "Why does this happen to me all the time?" We have all seen that case, so lets learn from others mistakes and cease production of our own, in that aspect.
Now I have spent alot of time speaking of getting to the point of readiness to love, but wait. Lets put principle to the practice, and back it up with sound advice. God commanded us to love. 
"Love thy neighbor as thyself","Treat others the way you want to be treated"
The human nature is to put self first, God knew this, this is why he stresses the importance. If we treated others half as good as we treat ourselves, there would be no such thing as broken hearts over a unfaithful lover. The love of self would not stand a chance against the love of someone else. The love of self would feel ashamed to let someone down, to neglect the life of a child that may be yours, to walk away from a disease stricken person, without any compassion. This brings me to one of the most important points. We have been endowed with consciouses, that still small voice that helps us make sound decisions when our flesh wants to go left, so in turn, we help feed that hungry child, or donate blood to save another life. That still small voice holds a mass of the matter in which my whole blog tries to orate. Love. Love kicks in when the destructive endorphin of our high-strung ego's, impatience, selfishness, could wind us in major trouble. With this love thing we can be sure that our efforts are never looked at in vain. When we had done all we can, we cant get it right, we have an example. We have no excuse to continue the connection of pain, in a detrimental cycle for whomever in its path. "For I am confident in this very thing, that He who began a good work in you, will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ."- Phillipians 1:6
Use this as confirmation, to love as if your life depends on it. Nothing becomes of fear but stagnancy. Its no coincidence that love contains 4 of the 6 letters to the word EVOLVE, because without its presence, there is no growth.  With arms wide open, you were loved. Love on someone else, God will perfect the rest.  Just Love.
