Real love - that love that we can connect to something physical (a person, a pet, etc.) - is what I like to define as a really complicated matter. But who knew that love could be so easy? Who knew that during my times of break-ups, self-discovery, butterflies in my stomach and tears streaming down my face that if I just gave my love to something I truly believed in and felt nothing but eagerness toward, that I would actually be happily in love, no matter what?
God is who I am talking about. You may have a different name for Him. You may not believe in Him at all. I am not pointing any fingers whatsoever, but rather suggesting to you that there is such a thing as a consistently happy love. Who do I turn to when times get rough? To be completely honest with you, I first yell out, "God, please help me!!!" or perhaps I would say, "God, what have I done?" Well, there you have it. He's just there, waiting, when times are rough. He's also there when we're extremely happy and seem to veer off from His holiness, but... He's there. And, I don't know about you, but that makes me happy. That makes me love Him. It's all about faith. It's all about giving your love to faith.
Sometimes, I just get so lost in the physical love that I don't think about just how important it is to realize that your spiritual side needs to express a little love too. It's kind of weird for me to try to separate out physical and spiritual in terms of love, but for the sake of my point, I will. If you believe that there is one God and that he is all-knowing, I feel that showing your love for Him relieves your mind, lets you know that everything will be alright, no matter what avalanche comes tumbling down on you. I suppose you could explain believing in God as being an optimist? Sounds a tad awkward coming from a Christian, assuming you would think that I feel that all non-God believers are pessimists, but I think you understand.
I'm not afraid to admit that I find comfort in offering my love to a higher power. I'm not afraid to tell you that there's something about that big guy up there that I love, even though I've never physically met him. God is good. Give your love to faith. See what happens!
