Love is Not a Feeling
Love is not a feeling - but love produces feelings. You don’t fall in love - you choose to love. Love is a decision, a covenant of hearts. Feelings fade and shift, but true love stands firm.
Love is a daily commitment - supporting despite the cost, forgiving even when it hurts. Offense is inevitable, but love does not keep score. It wipes the slate clean and chooses grace over grudges.
Love is patient when tempers flare, and kind when words could wound. It doesn’t shout or shame. Love listens with respect, speaks with tenderness, acts with humility. Love holds back anger and reaches out in peace.
Love never gives up - it trusts, hopes, and fights for the bond through every storm. Love stays when it’s hard, believes when it’s bleak, and keeps building when life feels broken. True love is resilient and relentless.
Love is not sex, though intimacy blossoms in loving marriages. Love is the soil where trust, tenderness, and passion grow. Love never fails. What fails is a false version of love - not love itself. Real love lasts forever.
