Love is a Choice


A healthy love is unique

Today's definition of love is based on emotion and feeling

But love is a choice

Love isn't sex

Love isn't lust

Love is a choice

Love is choosing the other individual over yourself

Love is seeking a compromise in the midst of war

Love is acceptance, no matter what color, ethnicity, sexuality, religion

Caring for others like our Father cared for us

Choosing selflessness over selfishness

Warmth from the sun rather than anger from Hell

zealous to help others

Willing to be last so others may be first

Love is a choice

To love is a calling from the Lord above

Love is remembered and cherished

In the midst of our country's strife, Only love will heal
