Love excels and exceeds almost all else...

I know in the King James version of the Bible the word used here is 'charity,' while in most versions of the Bible the word used is 'love.' But for the sake of the post we are going to use the word 'love.'
"Love suffereth long, and is kind; Love envieth not; Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth."
This is one of my favorite scriptures! The reason I did this post is I think that we all get a little jaded when it comes to love and we forget really what love is. Here are a few things that I think "LOVE" should also be...
~Love is blind...as dumb as it sounds, love needs to be blind to look past faults, the past, and the buttheads that we can all be...
~Love is patient...I know the scripture basically said that...I am just reiterating the fact.
~Love is perfect...I don't think there is any other more perfect emotion that God gave to us than love.
~Love conquers all...I think that about says it...
~Love is a risk...we all know its a risk, no matter how easy it may seem...
~Love is hard...at least it usually is. I believe that love SHOULDN'T be easy...it should be something that we have to work at and fight for.
~Love is scary...when you love someone there is no guarantee that things are going to be a perfect fairy tale and that is a bit scary if you ask me...
~Love is never convenient...it tends to fall in your lap and the exact moment that you DON'T need it to. Its almost like cupid is laughing in your face going "I surprised you with that one, huh?!" and you are thinking..."I could have gone without the hole in my head..."
~Love is CRAZY!!! There is and never will be another emotion that will make you cry, laugh, dance, sob, make you want to kill yourself, and make you want to jump for joy all in one second. Its a roller coaster ride so HANG ON!
~Love is meant to be...and even though it may not be what we are looking for or even want...it needs to be embraced...which brings me to my next point...
~Love is to be embraced...we can't be scared of it...we just have to let things happen how they are supposed to...
~Love is needed...what would the world be like with out love? It would be a pretty dull place...
~Love knows all...when you love someone, it doesn't take much to know whats wrong, if they are having a good day, if they need a hug, or just some Ben & Jerry's...
~Love is the end all, cure all...I really and truly believe this with all my heart and soul...
With that said, folks, I will now turn in for the night. I hope you know that I love you all from the bottom of my heart. Goodnight and Sweet dreams :)
