Dear Lord, we all get a little lost here. The sweetened vulnerability of this love thing is petrifying. There are so many things I do not know about love. So many more I will love to know.
Today, teach me to love not just
myself but the one who loves me. Teach me not just to love her in parts of her
but in her perfect wholeness.
Teach me to love far beyond her
physical and emotional limitations and know that I can love her completely and
unconditionally. Let our love know no boundaries or seasons.
Just telling her "I love
you" is not enough. Teach me to always go beyond the words. Let those
feeble trifles which others see as enjoyment, be nothing to me but broken
parts.
Teach me to love, teach me to
be like you. Give me your heart that is full of love or I will continuously
fail at this journey. Make my heart gentle and my spirit strong.
Teach my heart to love even when
selfish desires in layers of lust are masquerading as true love. Help me to pay
attention to those little things that matters most.
Bestow me with the honour of
understanding the story behind every scar and redemption. Help me to feel her
sadness and seek nothing but her greatest joy. Teach me to question her value
less and love her for what she’s worth.
Teach me to love her regardless of
whatever she does, good or evil. Let me see what she does and not only
what she doesn’t. Teach me how to sacrifice for her, listen to her concerns and
be sensitive to her needs.
If I ever get tired of loving her,
remind me of how unhappy I was all the times I loved selfishly. Reduce me to
love to the point where it’s impossible for me to be self-absorbed.
Teach me to take care of her in a
way that she hasn’t known before. Teach me to put my hand in hers as we walk
softly on this faithful voyage. No matter how long I live, may I never stop
loving her.

Cool article. Well spoken.
So full of rationality. I wish every man would always have this in mind.
