Don't Be Afraid to Love

There are people who will tell you that the light in your heart is a weakness. Don’t believe it!! It’s an old tactic used by cruel people to kill kindness in the name of virtue. There is nothing wrong with love. Have we forgotten the message of our Savior? The message is simple. It is the art of loving people. There are times when you feel lost in this world or you feel upside down in it. Sometimes you feel like nothing makes sense. But love can make sense in a senseless situation. We have all heard that “love is patient, love is kind” but love is much more than just that. Love won’t leave you out in the rain. or in the cold. But love will also tell you the truth. Imagine that!! The truth is not always easy to hear. But someone who loves you will tell you the truth even when it hurts.

So don’t be afraid to love. At the risk of sounding completely corny… What the world needs now is love sweet love. Don’t be afraid to love even when you don’t agree with someone. Don’t be afraid to love even when someone has hurt you. Don’t be afraid to love when you are thinking that everyone hates you. Love will make a difference. Love is not just pretty and nice but love is honest and true.

And that my friend is the way I feel...
