I hear my friend say it so often that “love is colorblind and comes from the soul, and our souls have no gender” thus love is a force that fuses people together regardless of race and gender. Several psychological studies have concluded that love is the process of losing oneself or going crazy. This concept gives meaning to the statement: when you truly love someone you care more about their needs, as opposed to your own. This can also be validated by the scripture “love your neighbor as yourself.”
During one of my class discussions on love, we concluded that in order for someone to experience love they must first believe in love. Then they have to position themselves to be a recipient of love. But now, we are left with the question “how does one position them self for love?” During this examination process we have to remember that the laws of attraction are in effect. The key component to this law is that you will always attract what is in you. Thus, if you attract bitter people, bitterness is in you. If you attract hurting people, hurt is what’s in you and so on… This law will place us as individual people in front of a mirror every time. Because, we are only able to draw to us, what is within us. Therefore, in order to be positioned to receive love we must first have an all encompassing love for ourselves. We have to deal with all of our flaws and hang-ups and learn to love and embrace them and when we accomplish that we will draw people that are ready to receive and give love.
This is the very essence of love. The bible says “love covers…” this means that whenever love is present nothing else exist. This is why when mothers love their children they fail to see what is considered to be flaws within them. It’s not that they are naïve; they have been overtaken by love.
“Nobody that constantly illuminates your flaws, loves you or has love for you”
Another psychological research stated that we fall in love with people that live out apart of us that we are unable to live. So to fall in love with someone is like falling in love with apart of you. As a child, I was always taught that God is love. This means that to love in any form is to have an experience with God. So whenever we are incapable of loving someone it means that there are areas of our life that we have not surrendered over to God. Remember, because God is love and to love means to love our self. So this places us back in the position of having to admit that there are parts of us that we don’t like and refuse to love. Thus, we haven’t given God (love) access to flow through that part of us. My challenge to you today is that you would love and accept every part of you, so that you may be able to love others.

“To love and be hurt is better than not loving at all, because to love in any form is to experience God... God is Love” J.Martin
