Lemi Jonathan LOVE NEVER DIES Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we do not know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness, and error and betrayals. It dies of illness, and wounds, of weariness, of tarnishing and of withering. If you ever love anyone genuinely, you can’t stop loving that person even if that person becomes bad. If we are sincere to ourselves, we will discover that the love still lingers, but when we remember the hurt, we try to suppress it. If you discover that you no longer love someone as you were used to, the love did not die, something just covered it up. Take for instance if you drop a coin on the floor, you can see it and keep seeing it, but if you put a rug on the floor and the rug covers the coin, you will no longer see the coin. But that does not mean the coin is not there or is no longer there, you no longer see the coin because something has covered it or has over taken it. That is how love is. True love never dies a natural death, when love seems absent from where it was found, it means something else overtook the love and until you remove that thing that overtook the love, you will not see the love; however, that doesn’t mean that the love has died. You notice how a young lady and a young man who were deeply in love decided to take it to the next level because of how deep their love is; you also notice how some years later, the same people who could not do without each other are now going to court to get divorced or they now fight and want to kill each other; then you ask yourself, where is the love they once shared? Is the love dead? The love did not die, something has covered the love and they are no longer seeing the love. The backbiting, the anger, the infidelity, the lies, the nagging, the insensitivity, etc has overtaken the love. Should these two people come together and agree to remove these things, just like removing the rug that covered the coin, then they will see that the love has been right where it was. The love did not die, it was only ignored or overtaken. If the thing that covered your love is too heavy for you or both of you to remove, then you may need the help of God to help you lift it up so that you can feel the love again. Love is like a perfume that you spray in a room and you enjoy the good fragrance, but when once the room gets polluted, the fragrance becomes overtaken and the and smell takes over. If someone farts in a well perfumed room, the bad smell may send you out of the room as though you never perfumed the room. However, there are certain strong fragrance of perfume that would not even allow the fart to be perceived such that you may not know if someone even farted; this is when we say deep and true affection counts no wrong. This is the kind of love we need and ought to have because there must be offences but if your love is strong enough then your love would cover multitude of sins.
