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
