Love
Love is amazing and is life changing, those that have ever loved or have ever been loved know exactly what I mean. When you love you are capable and willing to do anything for the one you love. When you are in love that is all you think about day-in and day-out. Love consumes your life, every second of your day that is all you can think about that is all you want to think about.
Love transforms, it liberates, it changes, it forces you out of your comfort zone, it allows you to see yourself through different lenses and all the sudden the way you see yourself and the way you see the world changes. Love does not enter your life silently, it makes it known that it has arrived.
Love is capable of overcoming everything and anything that comes its way, we have all read:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
It is an amazing thing when that becomes a reality, when its no longer something you hear or read, when its no longer something you hope for, but its your reality.
As humans we tend to place this duty on another person and yes God has created for us the one that will "complete" us (Genesis 2:24) but we are to fall in love with Him first. We are to be satisfy by Him (and only Him). 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 is a reality that we should experience with HIM before we can experience it with any one else. Humans learn by example and there is no better person to teach us how to love than God. His love is unconditional, there is nothing I can do to make Him love me more and there is nothing I can do to make Him not love me. He will love me today, tomorrow and forever the same, regardless of what I do or don't do. God is LOVE, he cannot deny His nature.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love makes burdens lighter, because you divide them. It makes joys more intense, because you share them. It makes you stronger, so that you can reach our and become involved with life in ways you dared not risk alone.

Heaven comes down to touch us when we find ourselves safe in the heart of another.

We never love our neighbor so truly as when our love for him is prompted by the love of God.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Robert A Heinlein
Real love loves for love's sake and not because the loved one is lovable.
