I have read a few comments. I did not read all of them, mind you, but there is some truth here from what I have already read. I do not know if I will really be able to add anything more, but what I have seen, heard, and experienced... for that matter, been guilty of, I have come to learn a great deal about those very words, 'I love you.' Now, I am going to take what may be a different direction with this, but hear me out. I think people expect the people who say they love us to always be patient and kind, and not be envious or boasting or prideful. We do not want them to bring dishonor on other people or us or be self-seeking, or be easily angered, especially at the little things. We don't want them to keep any records of our wrongs. There is that hope that they do not delight in evil but rejoice with the our truth. If they love us, shouldn't they protect, trust, hope, persevere with us? And if they do all these things, it would be safe to say that they will never fail us. But the thing also is this... if this is what love really is, I should also be doing the same for them. And if I do not, there are two things to consider here... do I love them? And #2: Am I willing to change so that I can love them even more. Because, personally, if real love doesn't fail (and I hate failing, especially a person. I am willing to fail at some things, but when it comes to a person, that just rips my heart right out), then I need to step up the game a bit. Never give up, never surrender.
