This man had been disturbing me for a very long time , I mean like forever . I knew him while growing up as someone my parents and siblings adored . I just felt they talked about him a lot and it even annoyed me sometimes . Funny enough , this guy followed me everywhere ; I mean it became very irritating . Growing up as a young girl devoid of any consequences for my actions , I went about many exploits . This man would warn me of so many bad decisions , but I felt I needed to experience things on my own ( you know I needed some space to breathe ). Sometimes I listened to his advice , others I ignored and faced the consequences . This man started asking me out . He said he loved me and he would do anything for me if only I gave my heart to him . Believe me ; I tried warding him off both with my words and actions . But he never left me . He even told me that my body soul and spirit belonged to him . He felt bad most of the time when I defiled this body because he was always monitoring me , it was that serious . He never stopped disturbing me even for a day . He was like a thorn in my flesh . I really tried ignoring him but he is always in my face , in my head and in my heart . I later discovered that they were no escape from him .
Finally I discovered that I was also in love with him , yea . I felt it everywhere I went , in my body my heart and soul . I knew I had fallen hard . Our relationship has been wonderful ever since I finally gave him a yes . I had told him I would give him my all , but I didn ’ t do that . I was selfish , unfaithful ; I couldn ’ t just let it all go to one person . I knew he loved me more than I did him . Maybe that ’ s why I take advantage of that love most of the time . We fight most of the time because of my selfish attitude , I have really tried to change , but it ’ s so hard . Anyway the good news is that he has promised to help me love him , although he keeps saying that I would have to love him deliberately and that I should put deliberate effort to show my love for him . I am at peace with myself because I know he will forever Love me . To tell you the truth falling in love with him has thought me that love isn ’ t just in words but in actions of sacrifice built on a deliberate desire to care , bear and tend . Hope you love for the right reasons . I think is time I introduce him to you …. His name is JESUS ... HE ALONE IS MY ONE TRUE LOVE .
So , if you ask me what love is , I would say love is God who came in the person of Jesus Christ . Guess what ? He loves you too .
