One of my favorite ads of all time was this ad where it showed all these different couples coming together for a kiss or a hug. They were behind this giant x-ray machine so you only saw the two skeletons. You had no idea what the person looked like, what ethnicity, what gender, what race, you had no idea who the person was. THE THING YOU DID KNOW WAS THAT THEY ALL HAD THE ABILITY TO LOVE. You later find out that some of the couples were gay, special needs, different nationalities, and races; the crowd was shocked as one by one the coupled unveiled themselves.
WE ALL HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOVE whether we are black, white, gay, straight, Mexican, Italian, alien, ECT….it doesn’t matter. God made us out of love. We are the essence of love so what gives us the right to tell someone they can’t love someone? WE ARE THE EMBODIMENT OF LOVE.
DENYING SOMEONE THE RIGHT TO LOVE IS THE ACT OF DENYING YOURSELF THE ABILITY TO BE LOVED.
It’s a slap in the face to tell someone they can’t do something that God made them for. That’s like one beggar telling another beggar to stop begging, they are denying themselves their own right. WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LOVE AND BE LOVED. I am so passionate about this subject because we hurt people way too often with OUR judgments of THEIR love. IT’S THEIR LOVE!!! We see a gay couple and all of a sudden believe we have the right to tell them what’s right from wrong. Have you looked in your own life? You are not perfect. BEFORE YOU JUDGE SOMEONE FIRST HOLD THE MIRROR UP TO YOURSELF. The only person who is allowed to judge is God so please before you make a comment to an interracial couple, a gay couple, a couple of different religion, decide whether or not you can throw the first stone.
How precious is love, LOVE IS WHAT BONDS US TOGETHER BUT WE USE IT TO TEAR US APART.
LOVE IS OUR ARMOR YET WE GO STRIPPING PEOPLE OF THEIRS BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT.
We leave them vulnerable and where does that leave us? What do we get for tearing other people down because we don’t believe in their love? People take their life because they are told their love is wrong, at least they are vulnerable enough to share their love. Are you vulnerable enough to share your love? There are so many brave people out there that I just want to hug. Hug for standing up for love, hug for being themselves, hug for respecting other’s love.
To that person who is told their love isn’t valid, I see you. To the couples who are scared to hold hands in public, I see you. To the person who is scared to stand up for their friend, I see you. To the person who is scared to come out, I see you.
THERE IS BEAUTY IN THE STRUGGLE AND THE STRUGGLE YOU ARE GOING THROUGH WILL DELIVER YOU. STAY STRONG. YOUR LOVE IS VALID. Put on your armor and don’t ever allow anyone to take it off of you, it was made for you, it was given to you. Love with everything in you and hold onto your stone. Promote love everywhere you go. Remember to the crowd we are all just skeletons will the ability to love.
