love is real. Mary Reese The beautiful thing about love is that when it's real love, it never changes. In 1st Corinthians, Chapter 13 verses 1-8 it states that love is patient and that love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices only in the truth. Genuine love is always rooted in trust, first and foremost. Perseverance is only possible because of the tenets of love. If you don't know love, then you can't possibly attract real love. Take the time to learn love and then learn how to love yourself unconditionally. Learn what love is and what it isn't. Discover what love looks like. Seek out what it feels like. If you don't get familiar with genuine love, then you'll confuse it with pain, hate, anger, and bitterness that have no parts of love.
