When Love Prevails

We all have ideal mates, we dream of them, we try to look for their qualities in people that we meet and sometimes if we find them, we stalk them hoping that they glance our way and hope that cupid has his bow and arrow ready. We hope and pray that we’ll all find our knight-in-shining armor and wish that he’ll be tall, dark and handsome until reality sets in.

Falling in love can be such a wonderful experience and sometimes it can be so intense that you become a different person. Your thoughts, feelings and actions can rule everything in your life. There are times when you are on ‘cloud nine’, and refuse to come down to reality. I am sure that I am not alone when I say that falling in love is the greatest experience; especially when encompassed with passion, the same mind thought and every moment is treated like there is no tomorrow. You can’t get enough of each other and when you are apart, your stomach goes all tight and you can’t eat or sleep.

Love is a major part of life, and should be handled with care, not treated like an easy game to win or lose. For those who have found their soul mate, treat them with respect, kindness and honesty. For those of you still searching, do not give up, at times it may seem hopeless, but God works his wonders in mysterious ways, and has a plan and partner for everyone.

Love as far as I know, is what a person feels for another without any kind of physical or mental barrier between them. They live purely to be with the other to share experiences, pleasures, problems and pain. It’s the one feeling that makes one feel like they are stuck in a dream. You feel like you’re on top of the world, and nobody can stop you. With love there comes a sense of numbness, that sense that you cannot actually believe what is happening because it seems to be impossible that this is what is actually going on. Being with the person you have longed to be with for so long is such an overwhelming feeling. Of course, as with everything, there is a down side to love as well if it doesn’t work out as it so certainly should have. The fair truth is that love hurts. Not like a physical pain, or even like the pain of a big disappointment. It is a form of pain so overwhelming that it is like love itself in the sense that it occupies all of your thoughts, your time and the totality of you as a person.

They say that love is blind but I beg to disagree with this cliché because I believe love opens up our eyes to the beauty of each person and enables us to see their shortcomings. I believe everyone has a certain, special someone and for those who don’t have they may find someone eventually perfectly suited for them. Everything happens for a reason, even if the reason seems a bit cloudy or uncertain at first. Follow your heart and trust yourself to make right decisions, but do not give your heart out quickly to any passersby.

God created the human race to love one another, and care for each other. That is the blessing of being a human. We are able to control our thoughts and feelings, but cannot help who we fall in love with.
