Love Is A Favor That We Bestow On Our Beloved For No Reason

The other day I was listening to Reverend T.D. Jake. He was preaching about ‘favor.’ He said when the Lord favors us; there is no logical explanation to it. It is not because we are good or better than others, or because of our color or gender, it is just a gift. We cannot explain it and we should not try to explain it, we should just be grateful for it.  

That made me thinks about love. Sometimes I wonder why I love a certain person, what is it about him which made me love him, what is so special about him, why do I choose to love him over others. Oh, I can list his attributes that I like but another person can have the very same attribute but I don’t love that person, so what gives. Now, I know the reason it is just a favor, a gift.

I don’t know what makes me bestow the gift of love on my beloved but I could not hold the love from him even if I wanted to. It comes from deep inside of me and I have no power over it. When I feel it, it has to be expressed.

I have been in love with a person I have never met in person. We rarely communicate but I know I love this person. Is he handsome, rich, a saint, etc. more than any other men I have ever met, I don’t think so. He is different but not because he is extraordinary person but there is something about him which makes my heart jump. I find myself smiling when I think of him. I find myself praying for his happiness, I want him to have peace and contentment. When something good happen to him, my heart jumps with joy.

I have no idea what the future will bring for us. We might meet or not but one thing is for sure I do love him. Now that I know love is a favor we bestow on our beloved for no other reason, I can love him more and freely.
