God's Love Is Everything

I expected love to be this feeling, an exaggerated moment where the world paused and fireworks flew across the sky and a shooting star was seen! I thought that when you realised you loved someone it would be re-enacted just like the movies, like that scene in 'Brown Sugar' where Trey rushes to the radio station to tell Sidney that he loves her and to hear her say it back, or in 'Good Luck Chuck' when Charlie pays an enormous amount to board a plane to tell Cam he loves her even though he knows he might get rejected - but the reality is that love is not as glamorous as movies make out and even though love is powerful - it is not boastful.

Love does not need to be loud & overtly present to know that it's there. In fact, you must have noticed that the couples that don't brag about their love are the ones that have lasted the longest eg. my fave couples David & Victoria Beckham and Jay & Bey! They don't need to shout it from the rooftops that they love each other - you look at them and just see it.

With Gods love, it's different. He's not a physical being that can embrace you & pat your head, you can't go to his office, knock on his door & have a word (I'm being literal here) but His love... God's love is everything. It is the TRUE definition of love. It's peaceful, it's comforting, it's nurturing, it's so many things & I realised just today that He doesn't need to blast off fireworks to let you know He loves you - He shows you everyday.

His love cannot compare to anybody else's and if anybody ever put me in a position where I had to choose I wouldn't even have to think about it... God wins!
