I do not believe that love is just a feeling. If that were true, I would mean that you could fall in love with someone and it be the best feeling in the world. That also means that you can fall out of love, that just takes time. Love as a feeling is just a ticking time bomb, that kind of love just fades away in time. I will take no part in that sort of love. I believe in the love that takes action. The love that pursues endlessly without looking for some kind of reward or outcome. This kind of love doesn't play games. It puts the other persons needs above your own and expects nothing in return. It's the love that says, "I want you on your best days, your worst days, and every day in between. I don't want to just feel the love I have for you. I want to be that love." This sort of love isn't in any of those books or movies, this love is shouted from the tallest mountains and built beautifully with each grain individually cared for and placed perfectly. I don't want a love that comes from feelings. I want a love that takes action.

Reminded me of the book "Love Does" by Bob Goff

“I want to go barefoot because it’s holy ground; I want to be running because time is short and none of us has as much runway as we think we do; and I want it to be a fight because that’s where we can make a difference. That’s what love does. That’s because love is never stationary. In the end, love doesn’t just keep thinking about it or keep planning for it. Simply put: love does."

I read Love Does a couple months ago, it was kind of inspired by that but I wrote this more about a relationship than everyone and God.
