True Love is immeasurable…and never goes away


This morning, I remembered something that my mom said to me…


When she was in the process of making her transition from this side of Glory


I asked, do you know how much I love you


She responded, no, but I know how much I love you


There it was…the truth and reality about love…it’s immeasurable…


Even when it’s shown in deeds and not just with our words…


How do you really know how much you love someone


Or how much they really love you


And does the ability to measure how much love matter…


When you can see it in the way they look at you…


Hear it in their voices…in the way they speak to you…


Even hear it in the way they say your name…


And believe it or not…in their text and email communications


Do they sound like they love you…or are angry with you


And the reverse is true…we should all give it some thought


And notice our tone when you speak to another


Or our facial expressions when we look at them


Sometimes our non-verbals can say one thing…


While the words that flow from our mouths say something else


I’m not talking about when we get in our emotions, occasionally


But taking notice if we are stuck in our emotions


And even if we do really love in our hearts…


Is the love getting lost in how we communicate it


Showing our love is important…but hearing it is nice too


There is no doubt that we can find ourselves loving some…


Who don’t feel the same way or may not love us as much…


As we feel we love them…because it’s immeasurable…we can’t know how much


We are left to rely on how they make us feel…to determine…


If they do or don’t…may or may not…love us…or love us as much as we love them


As my mom left this for me to ponder…


I leave it for you…we may know how much we love others…


But it’s not possible for another to know just how much we love them


It is possible for us to do our best to make sure they can feel…


That there is absolutely no doubt that we do…


Even though my mom didn’t know exactly how much I loved her…


She knew without a doubt that I did…immeasurably


And even though I didn’t know exactly how much my mom loved me…


I knew and still know…for sho nuff…that she did…immeasurably...I still feel her love


True Love is immeasurable…and never goes away
