Three little words. Incomprehensible potency.
At our wedding, our pastor challenged us to say those words in the hardest of times. To love the other person as they become the worst version of themselves. He was not talking about an emotion.
He was talking about a decision. Love is a daily decision. A choice one makes to support the other person, to be patient and kind. To not be boastful or proud or envious. To not keep a record of wrongs, but to be truthful. To always protect. Always hope. Always trust. Always persevere.
It never fails.
I and Love and You are words that carry with them a promise. A promise to never leave, to never begrudge, to never give up.
I and Love and You are words that create a safe place. A place where you will be forgiven, where you will be comforted, where you will be cared for.
I and Love and You
Yes, they are potent words. A covenant between to people. A choice to withstand the hard times and move on. A choice to love.
