A perfect love

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

I flipped through a recent issue of a popular woman’s magazine the other day on the bus. Its main theme was love, and articles covered the subject from all sides. There were sweet, funny, and heartwarming stories—but others were painful, sad, and downright heartbreaking. It struck me that many people have trouble with love.

I’ve been there. I’ve been in love, and experienced the highs associated with the sentiment. And I’ve been disappointed by it, too—more than once.

But despite what’s documented and discussed in the magazines, the books, and the talk shows, I’ve discovered that finding real love isn’t hard. It’s not something you have to search for, work at, or be lucky enough to experience. Love is actually God.
