The Journey Of Love – A Book For Lovers
Posted on 25. Jan, 2010 in Books of Poetry
THE JOURNEY OF LOVE – JANUARY 2010 – Is a book written for, Lovers. “When your heart is open the possibilities are endless…”
Sometimes you try and love doesn’t always turn out the way you hoped it would, however life is not about focusing on disappointments – it’s about learning the lesson and growing from the disappointments. This book also focuses on Gods love and self love which is needed to truly understand love. When you love yourself, you are less likely to settle or accept less and when you have Gods love you know all things are possible.
“The Journey of Love “ also touches upon something that is very important, Self Love. One must learn to embrace who you are. As a woman of faith, I believe it is important to put God first and yourself second. We often put on our cape and take on the world, saving others, embracing others, and loving others, ultimately leaving ourselves last loved and embraced. This order is incorrect and will eventually cause us pain in the end. God’s love is important as well because until we understand his love or how and why love is designed, we will never know real love. Love is a lot more than a feeling or emotion… it is a sacrament, a decision, and a choice to have an open heart. I say accept yourself for who you truly are and embrace the woman or man within.
I keep a gratitude journal and I write 5 things that I am grateful for each day no matter how horrible the day is. It keeps me balanced allowing me to give gratitude to myself, the universe, and causing me to embrace who I am. When we begin to search for love with god and within our selves it is easier to find true, real, authentic, lasting love. If we aren’t tapped into our own universe, it is impossible for someone to be able to enter our lives.
For example, I have a great man in my life, he’s a companion, friend, lover and a great asset to my life. Nonetheless, I was in love with Justinah, with self, when we met. I was already a focused, driven, determined and independent woman; he simple complemented the things that I already tapped into. Most importantly, I love Justinah, every freckle and eyelash. I never hated myself, but in the past I would pick on my self, as we all at times do. As I grew to love myself more, I learned not to do that and I stopped.
We are who we are and we should be fine with that. I make mistakes, I forgive myself, I do not put myself down and I do not allow others to put me down. Love can be either one of two things: The most misused word in the dictionary or the word made to create greatness and change lives.
