“Love is beautiful, but it is also terrible–terrible in its determination to allow nothing blemished or unworthy to remain in the beloved.”
~ Hannah Hurnard ~
While I was writing this entry, my mind suddenly experience a blogger’s block… I kept reading today’s quote and I just can’t think of anything to write. It’s a bit odd since writing about love is my expertise… Well, maybe because most of my writings about love is how much painful it is or my heartbreaks caused by love. (read more about my blog about love, here) Probably what I know about love is somewhat limited to what I have experience.
I have been heartbroken for quite a number of times and the pain that I felt made me cynical about romantic love. There was even a time that I thought that I can never fall in love again. Maybe a big part of me is still hurting or maybe I was just expecting too much about love.
This quote reminded me how beautiful love is… I seem to have forgotten how wonderful it is to be able to share your love with someone and how beautiful God designed love. But somehow, the beauty of love was tainted because of circumstances we cannot control and slowly love has lost its true meaning… I guess this one best describes what love is all about…

Thanks for sharing so honestly and openly today, Emmyrose. It didn’t seem like you had “Blogger’s block”.
I am so thankful God never stops working on us. His love never fails.

Writer’s block ?!? Ganyan ka pala pag may writer’s block ka ?
love for me is beautiful. i had my first boyfriend months before i got lupus. through all the pain i have to endure he was there to hold my hand and to give me comfort. its so hard to love when you have lupus especially if you think you are being unfair to him because of your condition. i decided to let him go but he chose otherwise. buti na lang nde nya pinatulan ung pakikipagbreak ko sa kanya dahil may lupus ako kundi wala akong baby ngaun
hehe!
your post reminded me of how beautiful love is. thanks, i needed it. mood swing na naman !

Human love will always let you down… thankfully the Father’s love never, ever will!
