Why do people smile when no one’s smiling?
Its cause their thinking of someone they’re loving
Keep on believing we are meant to be and
Nothing’s stopping you and me from going to heaven.
Sweetest loveI got the sweetest love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love ain’t nothing beating it
There ain’t nothing sweeter- Robin Thicke “Sweetest Love”

There are walls that we can build up in ourselves. Walls that just become apart of us that we don’t even recognize them to be what they are. A shield, a gate, and even for some a prison. Yes a prison and We are the guards. The ones suited up with the night stick held close to us in case something strange occurs. We parrade  around protecting… who? Yes… ourselves. From what? Oh… from You!!! Well let’s say we broke some rules. That we let our guard down for a moment what could happen? What would happen?

I once did this too… but there are so many opportunties that we pass up by doing this. By staying guarded… I mean who is actually winning by doing this? Not us… Not me.

When my heart was opened to the Gospel…  opened to the Love of Jesus my guards were slowly let down. I was open to receiving what I had been “protecting” myself from. From Love! Love from the only man that would never let me down, that would never leave me, and love me uncondionally…. Jesus Christ. When my heart was opened for him to come and fill me… it was also opened for real love by Great friends, by family, and even by a significant other.

Which brings me to my sweetest love…. I have been so blessed to have found my Best friend. I didn’t think he was real.  But when your heart is filled with the Love of God… all things are possible for you. And when love wasn’t the main agenda for me… it walked right into my heart. The walls that I had built for many years crumbled down with each day. With each phone conversation. With each laugh. With each prayer.  Yes i was losing the battle… but i was ok with that. Because Now i was experiencing something fresh, something new… and it was so beauiful. It is still beautiful as we grow together in christ…. and more in love.

1 corinthians 13:1-3

¹If I speak in the tongues  of men and of angels, but have not love,

I am only a resounding gong or a

clanging cymbal. ²If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries

and all knowledge, and if

I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

³If I give all I possess to the

poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
