simple words

And so there it was- in the strangest of places, in the middle of no where, completely unexpected. As is often the case. 

I had never been to this area before and I honestly only knew my general location; Tennessee. I was along for the ride run that weekend and this particular day was spent in the woods along a river and ultimately it led me here; Be love. So that's where I was.

In this particular season of my life, this word comes up often and sits in the front row with it's hand held up high. What is love exactly? Is it something you fall in? slip in? discover? uncover? run into? 

or be?

What I do know is this: love is patient, kind, does not envy, boast, or dishonor others- it is not self seeking, not easily angered, keeps no records of wrongs, and rejoices with truth- it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres and {because of what it is at all times}...it never fails. (1Cor. 13)

A few weeks previously I journaled these verses and mistakenly wrote:

allways protects, allways trusts, allways hopes, allways perseveres.

Duh but YES!

Love is at all times, in every way; 
an always, in all ways.

It's about BE-ing. 

How am I being love? Am I always, in all ways? 

What does that look like on a daily basis?

So I'm still wrestling with more questions than answers and I still don't feel sure of my exact location...but I'm hopeful about being found in the strangest of places, in the middle of the unexpected moments in life, with simple words~

   

always. all ways. 

Be love.
