LOVE

LOVE doesn't wait to be loved on first. 

It makes the first move, every time.

LOVE doesn't set conditions or make you 'pay a toll'

and then hold itself back until the conditions are met and the toll is paid.

It freely gives itself away.

LOVE always works for the best interest of others.

It does not selfishly hold on to offense.

It lays offense down and never picks it up again.

LOVE is tender.

It's not demanding. It's gentle. It listens. It responds, not reacts.

LOVE covers a multitude of mistakes.

Forgiveness leads the way. 

It makes allowance for errors 

because it remembers that people are not perfect.

LOVE protects the one who gives it away.

It teaches him that he is just as loved and cherished as anyone else — he is not a 'door mat'. 

LOVE protects the one who gives it away. 

LOVE goes after truth, mercy and justice. 

Nothing less.

LOVE breaks through where words can't.

LOVE heals places where doctors can't reach. 

LOVE is the most powerful tool we will ever wield.
