Love... Such a Fickle Thing!

Well, it shouldn't be fickle --- but my experience of it is! My father has disowned me three times and this time has lasted for 4 years. What did I do to get disowned you ask. I was on the phone when he called me for our scheduled weekly call. I was updating a website that I was paid to develop and maintain. We had dial up. (remember those days?).

I am on my third marriage and still can't seem to get that right.

Here is what the bible says about love:

4Love is patient,

love is kind.

It does not envy,

it does not boast,

it is not proud.

5It is not rude,

it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs.

6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7It always protects,

always trusts,

always hopes,

always perseveres.

8Love never fails.

Wow! That's a lot to live up to. Maybe one day I will get it. But you can say this about me: she knows where she needs to improve!

I just had a thought... maybe this is not talking about ego love (the kind we are used to) maybe it is talking about real love... the spiritual kind. Maybe it is not the "love" we know... maybe it is more about truth then feelings (?).

Maybe one day egonic love will be washed away. Then the truth (love) will not be given and taken away at a whim... it will just be!
