True to The Heart

First of all, what is true love? Do such things even exist? I'll start it out with a quote:

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, boastful, proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it does not keep record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice bit rejoices when truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, it is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever.” (The Holy Bible; 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, NLT Version)


Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel. Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action—true love. In any other way, true love is slowly created and not readily made. How can anybody know whom to love at first if they don't even interact with people in their community?

To sum it up, true love is the product of true devotion, meaning love would never succeed if couples would not even bring trust to one another, for example, in a married relationship, problems tend to arise. Ordinary, immature couples would handle this by quarreling and complaining. This does not show love at all. This is one proof that such kind of love is just based on physical or forced attraction which proves worthless at all. On the other hand, experienced married lovers handle the situation by talking to each other in the proper manner to solve everything. That proper manner is looking for the solution together thus the words trust and true love comes in. They establish an even tighter bond with each other through hard times and good times. This is unconditional love. Love that tends to fill those gaps in the heart with new hope and determination to further live. That is being true to the heart!
