"Not next year, not next month, not next week, not even tomorrow...
I will Love today..."
I once said that line in a forum... I can't remember where or why but I said it and will say it again:
I will Love today...
It's been quite long after my last post and all thanks to the time I need to muster that strength to write this simple but fruitful article.
It's so simple I don't know how to explain it.
Why? Because internalizing how to love is a behavioral habit that will start simply like this...
When we we wake up, just feel the presence and love of God (even if you feel groggy). Say a little prayer (and maybe read the Word of God), thanksgiving, ask for what we need today... then smile (even if you don't feel like it) and say "I will Love today"...
It is a behavioral habit that will go on like this...
For the next few hours until night time (8 to 12 is few), when we meet a person we ask ourselves, "How will I love this person today?". When we get irritated we ask "How will I love this person today?". When we are betrayed, lambasted, and rejected by people around us we ask "How will I love these people today? (Really!!! How do I love these people?!!! My ghullay!! hehehehe)". When we feel loved and cherished by someone we ask "How will I love these people today?" We will always ask these question... every time... everywhere...
Lastly, it is a behavioral habit that will end like this...
Before you go to bed and sleep, feel the presence and love of our God (even if you feel tired). Say again a prayer (and maybe reflect), thanksgiving and ask for guidance tomorrow... then smile (even if the day is some what "subjectively" bad)... then say "I did Loved today"... then go to sleep...
Simple... to say...
but to do... it will take quite a while.
But it will become a habit. Just take the first step... then the second... then the third... then the fourth... until you can walk on your own.
I do hope I've inspired you to love always... to always remind ourselves to love... and be loved.
And always ask for the guidance of love of God. He was, is, and will always be the source of Love. You will never be empty when we ask for that Love.
I did Loved today.
