I have found that love is more than a feeling.

It is a deep commitment to faith , a person

or to a cause that we feel passionate about.

Love is real when it has been tested

by mis-understandings or going through

hard times and persevering.

In speaking of love in terms of faith, I have found that

I have learned more in times of pain and looking at

myself honestly than itn times of joy. Does that mean we should

look for pain and even try and invent way to inflict pain on oursleves?

Of course not. Life gives each of us enough challenges as it is.

Does this mean that loving means your always in pain?

No, just the opposite. When times are great the joy is overwhelming and

wonderful! In the hard times the joy is more subdued, but no less there.

There is a sense of being secure and knowing what you believe and

in knowing no matter what your love for your faith will pull youi through.

There is  love in your heart and soul that will never leave.
