How do you say "I LOVE YOU"

How do you say those three little words that at times are so hard to say, but other times are so easy to come off of our tongues? There are so many different types of love. The love of friends, of family, of Christ, of a mate. But is there a wrong way and a right way to say those words. When is it okay and when should you just keep your mouth shut.

When I express my love to my Savior, I never seem to have the right or enough words to say "I Love You". Some how i always seem to stumble through them, but the best part is that He knows the words that i am trying to say and He still loves me even with the lack of words.

Then I think about the love that I have for my family and do i tell them enough that I love them. Or do i let days go by before i say the three precious little words. And how often do I actually tell my friends that I love them and appreciate who they are and what they have done in my life? Do I even say "I Love You" enough? But then if I say those words too much do they mean as much as I think that they do? Can a person over say "I love you"

My mind then wonders to the teenage years and early twenties......A stage of life when some people only say those words to get something from the other sex. And so many times we abuse those three words as well. To better position ourselves in life, to find 15 minutes of pleasure, all in the pursuit of finding love. So the next question is 'What is love'? Is it sex, is it a feeling, is it just words we say......

At the moment i cant really say what love is.

I know the love of my Savior. I know the love of my friends and family. But one thing i have yet to experience is the love of a significant other, who has yet to arrive.

So love is_____. So many different things to each person. All I know for sure is that love wins. LOVE WINS everytime and in every situation.

I encourage anyone who reads this to do some soul searching and find out love is to you. Fill in the blank with what love means to you.

One final thought. Why is 'I love you' always referred to as 'the three little words'. I think it should be 'the three BIG words'. This phrase has the power to build someone up and help them to become the best that they can become or to tear them into pieces.

I beg you that before you say those words to exam and decide whether it will build this person up or tear them down.
