I'd like to think I'm the mess you'd wear with pride

Love

I was asked to speak today in church on eternal marriage and something as I was speaking just hit me so hard, that we must follow the example of the Savior's love.  We must give love as he gives love, unconditionally. No matter how hard it is, how hurt you were, how many trials get in your way...forget yourself and love.  Love is an unconditional thing, and cannot nor should it ever be conditionally given.  Just love.

John 15:13
"for greater love hath no man than this than that he lay down his life for a friend"  

Lay down your life, your selfishness and personal desires for your best friend, your spouse and find true joy.
