“Reflections of love” by Pastor P.T.Mammen
Scripture Reference: Song of Songs 2:1-17
Today we will look at additional personal principles of love…
1. When I say “I love you” there is a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward you. A feeling of attraction towards you – a sense of underlying oneness that fills my heart with joy.
2. An expression of my own passion and I do so without any feeling towards me.
3. It doesn’t mean that I feel ownership over you, or that I have expectations of your behavior or rigid ideas of future.
4. I love you for what you are now, not for what I hope you will some day become. I have no plans to change you; I do support your desire to grow.
5. I do respect your right to have your own feelings and your need to learn your own lessons in life. If I can help I will wait to be asked, and otherwise will allow you to go through the experiences you need to choose.
6. I will be in touch with my own feelings and desires and communicate them to you without any expectation that you will act on them.
7. I am happy with or without you. My bliss is my responsibility alone.
8. I leave you free to be yourself to think your thoughts, judge your tastes, follow your inclinations behave in ways you decide are ways to your liking. I have no right to judge or change your behavior.
9. I desire that you be happy- if your time spent with me is not joyful then you are welcome to go your way with my love and support still with you.
10. We are two separate whole people, who have chosen to walk side by side through life for a time. I rejoice in the ecstasy of the present – moments we share together.
