That's Amore'

So I have to pause from my lately stream of poetry to talk about a real issue.
I notice that today people have turned further and further from love. Not only from a spiritual love but constantly from a moral love. Everything is relative these days. "luv ya!" "I love you" "Much Love" "love ya" We all hear and say these things on a daily basis. Do you mean it?
What does it mean to say "I Love You"? Is it unconditional? true? sincere? endless? passionate? sympathetic? giving? yearning? pulsing? everflowing? bold? relentless?
The most powerful word universally has been the object of subjectivity way to much. "Amore, Amakukodani, Armastama, Amor, Liebe, Liefde, Ahava, Sarane, LOVE" It's all the same!
God clearly defines this as the greatest of all virtues. "Among these are faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is Love".
Whenever I think of the place I am today, the family I have, the girlfriend by my side, the job I have, the degree I am working towards, life, friends, and passions, I can't help but think that I am so blessed beyond what I deserve. I deserve punishment, judgement, ridicule, exile, and humiliation, yet I have the greatest passion and sacrifice that has paid for anything and everything sinful that I ever have done or ever will do. Blood has sunk into the ruined ground of that infamous hill where my father was murdered. Tears have rotted away the wood that once held my dad high above a city of sin. My life is fulfilled with hope, faith, and passion because my father, friend, and savior had a passion for a people that would one day proclaim who He among that world. I know His passion, care, and provisions are unconditional, true, sincere, endless, passionate, sympathetic, giving, yearning, pulsing, everflowing, bold, relentless, and testimonial!
That's Amore'!
