Many things are called love that are not love. Love is pure, a burning white light amidst darkness. It commands kindness and compassion and requires respect, acceptance, and dedication to uphold even a fraction of the love that exists. If we sort our soiled linens as we go, to piles of love and piles of things that are not love, Love becomes more clear. Love, Godly Love, True and Pure Love, is a tiny pile that requires no washing. It is durable, and everlasting; Your star to watch as you navigate tricky waters.
All that is not love is a horrible mess. Clean it all you want but all that is not love leaves stains. Jealousy, anger, abuse, neglect, cruelty, we call these things love. The things that are not love are durable and they are our shields and cloaks of darkness. We do horrible things with all that is not love if we are hidden and think we won't get caught.
Luckily, we have Love.
Shiny and bright.
Warm and beautiful.
Pure Love.
We have only Love as our star.
