Would u mind reading the next few lines that will take only 2-3 minutes, but I'm sure you would know where the LOVE is;
I lived in a horrible cycle of self-defeating comments, of internal and external judgment, and hate and discouragement. Truth be told, I had no way of fully grasping this concept of pure love and grace. I sat in a place of pure darkness, a place of pure misunderstanding.
What was it that finally pulled me out of this never-ending path that I’d worn? It was love. It was God’s constant revelations of what love was and what it was not!
It is not what the world tells us it is - not self-seeking, lustful or fleeting. It’s not within us, but within God. Instead,
what love in is ISLAM truly about – sacrifice for ALL (not just me, not just you), unconditional (through good and bad), non-judging (while right and wrong), all powerful (derived solely from God)– starts with us, individually. I realized that in the command to love your neighbor as yourself, the sequence requires that you must first have a full and total appreciation for who you are - a loved being. You must go beyond what you feel for yourself or how you perceive other’s feelings for you. Recognizing your lack of control, you must acknowledge your imperfections as the reasons for love, and within those are the reasons to extend it further. By finding your own special place in God’s heart,
you are able to realize the special-ness in each person you pass every day of the week. He doesn’t just love one of us, He loves us all.

Love is a profound current of life. God is love, Love is God. LOVE is in you.

Love is found inside yourself, divide it with another and it multiplies like crazy, keep it to yourself and it dies.

love and hate are absolutes....
one can experience neither pure love or pure hate...
only varying degrees of like or dislike...
