'Human Love' makes your heart flutter, your blood pressure rise, your head ache, and causes your mind to lose it's sense of intelligence, for a time! Hearing those words, 'I love you', puts a smile on our faces, a pickup in our stride, and a feeling _all is well with the world_. After all, WE ARE LOVED! What could be better?

I may be aging myself, but I remember the songs, "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole, and "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing", sang by both Nat King Cole and Andy Williams. When you find love, especially a 'first love', it is, indeed, unforgettable. Doesn't matter the years that have gone by, whether you are married to that 'first love' or not, you can certainly remember when he/she pulled on your 'heart strings'. The world seemed to come to a halt; you lost your bearings - YOU were in LOVE! Some may have deemed it only "Puppy Love" [ Paul Anka ], but that didn't make it so for you. You just knew that your world had been turned upside down, it looked brighter than ever before, and you just knew this was for ALWAYS!

Whether that first love became your one and only love, or you fell in love over and over, there is a love that is greater than any other. It can stand the test of time, will never leave you, once found, and will be a source of strength and encouragement throughout your life. Your world may truly become 'upside down' from what life leaves at your doorstep. But, remember, this love is stronger, more compassionate, stood for ALWAYS and forever, can't be thrown out the window with the dishwater, or driven out with malice. It will be with you until the end of time, forever there from which to draw the strength you need from day to day. God is that love; go draw on His well of strength today - you'll be glad you did!
