To say "I love you " and mean it with all your heart has remarkable power. This powerful phrase encompasses all the others. The way we feel about people...whether it is romantic love, family relationships or even close friendships...is a form of love.
Love is a warmer way to express ourselves than saying "I respect you" or "I believe in you". It's more tender way of expressing our feelings for people we admire and appreciate. Love is a term of great trust and belief...the strongest term you can use to speak to another person if you feel that way about them. Saying "I love you" is quite a step for most people.
We have to learn to think about how we really feel about other people, be willing to express those feelings and begin to say "I love you". Love exists, not just within a husband-and-wife relationship or guy-and-girl romance. There are different types of love that we need to express.
"I love you" is an especially powerful when said to children. Those words make them feel protected, cared about, and believed in that the person saying that words is really special. And the most important to express love is with our families. Family is the foundation of our faith and values. So...give them the gift of your life experience. Building a firm foundation of family takes work but pays dividends by ensuring each generation i instilled with the faith and values that are at the heart of abundant lives and a moral society.
Love is all around us. We need to look for and nurturer love...for our God who blesses us richly...for marriages, for families, for friends, and for our communities. Let's not just think about saying "I love you" and regret later that we didn't say it. Lets take opportunity to tell our loved ones...from our hearts..."I love you."
If you can't say the words.., at leat give someone a hug. And make it a big one!
Let's all use our hearts. Say "I love you". With this and all other powerful phrases, we all can make our homes, communities and world to be more positive places to live...Try it now!
