Does Love Cross Borders?
It’s been said that love is a universal language, and everywhere you go, you can “feel the love.” But the question pops into my mind “Does love truly cross borders when you do?” When you step out of a plane into a new country what are the first things that go through your mind? Do you come to this new place with an attitude or expectation of love?
A Country of Love
Liberia is one of those places that you can definately “feel” the love. When you step onto the tarmac you can tell that this place is special; this place holds a deep ability to love. In recent years it has not always been this way. The country has been ravaged by war and hardship but is now on the way to rebuilding itself and learning to love again.
Love comes in all sizes, shapes and forms. It can come in the image of a doctor, a school teacher, politician or anyone who wants to see Liberia rise to greater heights of love, if you are willing to embrace the culture, and love regardless of race or social economics. Some people harm others that are trying to break down barriers by saying “It is impossible to love in every language.” Love comes in many different forms as well: a smile, a hand shake, a hug, a nod of the head. You do not need to speak a certain language in order to show love and to speak love.
So will you and do you show love in every language?
