​How many times have you said to someone “I love you?” Did you really mean it or were you just saying it because you thought the other person wanted to hear it? How many times has someone told you these precious words? Probably more times than you can count. Saying these words is easy but meaning them is a challenge. 

Not everyone that says “I love you,” means it. More often than not these are just words being tossed about like candy to an unsuspecting child being lured away. Love is not an emotion it is an action, so to say to someone “I love you,” and you have no action to back it up makes your profession of love questionable.

If you are professing your so-called love to someone just for the sake of your own pleasure or gain, you will be the ultimate loser. You can only pretend for so long before the other person will see that you are not loving at all. Real love should compel you to think of the well-being and care of your partner, not yourself. And your partner if they truly love you will take care of your well-being and needs. Manipulation and control are not love. 

Love is not a tool to be used for selfish ambitions it is a beautiful state of giving. To love and be loved is the greatest good of humanity. Don’t play with something so sacred and treat it like nothing. If you really give love, then love will really be returned to you, but if you give junk in the name of love, then junk in the name of love will be returned to you. Now that you’ve had time think about it, I ask you again, “Are You Really Loving?”
