Lessons Love Has Taught Me (verse 6-4)

6. Patience
A wise man once told me that patience isn't about waiting, but what you do while you wait. And this is especially true in matters of the heart. On many occasions I've wanted my love to jump when I said jump, or at least ask how high? Only to be let down when neither thing happened in the time I wanted it to. It got to a point where I felt like disappointment was my very best friend.

Discouraged and disillusioned, I would give my mate the evil side eye for not meeting my needs in a timely fashion, when through it all I was looking to the wrong person to supply.

What I realize now is that God is He who supplies all my needs. And he uses my mate to supply me with overflow, in HIS timing thus bringing happiness and sustenance to the relationship.


5. Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover
Love comes in all shapes, forms and fashions. What you see on the outside is not always indicative of the kind of love you will receive. I've learned to use my third eye to discern who means me well. It sees way more than my other 4 eyes and has 20/20 vision always.


4. Sex is overrated
One word, 4 syllables: INTIMACY. In to me, see. This is the place where true love is expressed. Not through sex. Any two fools can bump uglies. But intimacy is created through trust, gentleness, and patience. It's a tender kiss, holding hands for no reason, a tender massage, gazing in one another's eyes. It's a beautiful thing when experienced correctly.
