I've loved to my potential

whoa uh
I know
I’ve loved to my potential
we’ve made the most of these past months
when I go
tomorrow
that dream was instrumental
we’ll have lived the love that millions won’t
ever know

I would venture to say that most of us believe in love to an extent that it's beyond our control (falling in love, love struck, having a crush).  can't remember where I originally heard of it but someone wise (must've been wise because I heartily believe it after being married for a ton of years) pointed out that LOVE IS A VERB.  and I am taking the position that religion is the same way - it's not a stroke of luck or a spell that befalls you.  it's to be sought out and worked for/at.

*side note...the "dictionary of NIV terms" in my bible says that love is wanting good to come to another person; being concerned and willing to work for another person's benefit.

*those are lyrics from one of my fave bands (shameless plug / but my hubby is a musician and used to be the guitarist), love you to death (formerly the pettit project).
