Let Love Be Beautiful

Good people, it’s time for the love talk of the day. In today’s world, everyone seems to have a list or set of rules about what love should look like—what’s acceptable and what’s not. I get it; boundaries are important, and we all want to protect ourselves. But here’s the truth: real love will walk all over your boundaries.

You may have told yourself, “I’ll never do this,” but when you’re truly in love, you’ll find yourself doing things you never imagined. Love has a way of challenging us. Just think about how a parent will wake up in the middle of the night to care for their child, even when they don’t want to. They do it because love compels them. We should extend that same grace to our romantic relationships.

The problem is, we often reserve that selflessness for our children but struggle to offer it to our partners. If you want a lasting relationship—one that stands the test of time—you’ll face challenges that require you to stretch, grow, and discover new depths of love you never knew existed.

That’s why I encourage you to spend time studying what love truly is. Ask God to show you His vision for love—not the broken versions you’ve seen in your past relationships or family. Real love isn’t about avoiding pain; it’s about embracing the journey, learning, and growing together.

Let go of your lists, your defenses, and the need for everything to be perfect. Trust God to guide your heart, and let love be the beautiful, transformative force it’s meant to be. Stop approaching relationships with your fists up or holding on to past hurts. Instead, embrace love fully, knowing it’s not always easy but always worth it.
