Does Love Hurt?

 When loves seems to hurt, it is really Love causing the pain? And why would love spell backwards be so close to the word evil? The 'O' is change into 'I' as though individual responsibility determines which form takes presidence.

Wisdom says in order to experience love one must have patients, humility, and unselfishness " 1 Cor 13: 4-7"; and oxymoron because while one is in the process of being patient, humble, and unselfish, one does not always feel loving. In fact one most likely will experience frustration and even anger when loving. 

Wow, so as one exercises love we deal with some of the same emotions that evil provokes within us and it's the 'I' that makes the difference on how these emotions cause us to react. 

Love hurts us? No, I disagree. Would you say it's was the bullet proof vest that hurts you after it cushions the blow of the bullet? Yes, you would have bruies, and these bruises hurt but your life would be saved by the vest. 

Love protects our soul from the bullets shot at us from the gun of the world and even those close to us. It's not our love that hurts but pressure wounds that we sustain as bullets of betrayal, lies, disappointments, and fear try to force there way into our souls through the vest of Love. When we blame love for our pain and hurt we end up removing it as our protection: We say, "Never will I love again. Never will I trust and give my heart to another." As a result, the bullets that are shot from the gun of the world enter our minds, body, and spirits, instantly killing us! We become the walking dead, zombies that move and act like the very people who pulled the trigger in the first place. Love doesn't hurt you it protects you, keep loving.
