What Is The Cost Of Love?

Lord knows, I am not an 'authority' on anything!!!
All I can say about what I write, think, or feel is based on my experiences of life.
I remember a few years ago a Nobel  Prize writer of poetry made these remarks,
"All my writing in the world can not add no more than a crickets chirp to the voice of life
BUT no one can write as authentically about my life's experiences, my hearts feelings, my outlook on life,
as I can.  Therefore these same experiences of life find their way into my poetry, my communication and hopefully into the lives of others.  That is why I write...."
When I ask  the question, 'What Is The Cost of Love?' there is one simple answer that works for me.
No price is too high, no sorrow is too deep, no distance is too vast, to say to anyone I know, "It costs me too much to love you!"  or 'You are not worth it!'.
Believe you me, I have tested and tested and tested again .....the cost of love.
I learned long ago this formula from God....God IS Love.
Not something He does but who HE IS!
Having Him in my heart and life....(Yep, I've got Jesus!).....Love Lives!
I can not love like this within my humanness.
For I am certainly, as everyone knows, a flawed human being.
It is out of my relationship with HIM who resides within me that He, LOVE HIMSELF, lives and encompasses those around me.  Not me, but He!
What Is The Cost Of Love?  What is the cost of the air we breathe? 
What is the cost of a life? 
There is no price that we can pay.....
FOR Love IS PRICELESS!!!

All of us are the 'whosoever's' of life spoken about in
John 3:16..."For God SO Loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son
that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM
 SHOULD NOT PERISH  but have EVERLASTING LIFE!"
