Heart

There was a time in my life where I was young, so reserved and generally could not socialize even with the people I called friends. During that time of my life I came to realize that there is a strong relationship I had with God. For some reason it was personal, I wasn't a majorly religious person then, but I knew and was sure of my relationship with God.

I would walk at the school corridors and be in what others may call prayer but to me it was simple conversation with God. I knew that this was just a basic relationship and was honored to be able to be so close to my god in the bearing in mind the short comings of my religion.

I prayed to God and asked him to teach me how to love him. This has proved to be the best prayer I have ever prayed in my whole entire life. Now this is what was given to me as a lesson in love:

He said I am spirit, take me and put me in your soul, and that is where you should love me from, when comes time where it seems as though I am not doing that which you wish for, love me still, be patient. Seek me, seek to understand me and there you shall find yourself, for your soul is in my spirit.

From then on I loved God purely. The answer to me was simply put me in your soul. So I did. From this prayer I not only learnt how to love God but I saw that this is also how to love people. With people though it is a bit more difficult as it is not so easy to trust them, humans are flawed and so am I. how then do you completely put a person in your soul.

It is difficult and will really tug at the strings of your heart most of the time but loving someone with your soul is the best and purest form of love I have ever experienced and am honored to give. To me it means even in times of wrong, when I am deeply hurt, I express my hurt to my loved one as I cannot hide it if they truly have become a part of who u are. When you are happy you express your happy as that too cannot be hidden, take them with you through all your experiences and emotions your fears and triumphs. Love them like you would God. And then, you would have achieved love, you would have realized the beauty of the human soul.
