    My husband was abused physically and had cancer as a child, when i met him he stuttered so bad he could barely state his name. Today he speaks clearly, is cancer free, and a great father to both our children. The victory belongs to Jesus!!

      I just cried my eyes out bc at 15 being hurt by my own mother and father not knowing love that's all I wanted. Over the years I have been through cheating them leaving me with our kid's then losing my other Child's father to Death. At 36 I just listened to this song while my Husband of 6 year's slept beside me touching my leg. I cried because I'm so blessed from the last time I listened to this song so many years ago I got so emotional and cried so hard. I have a man who loves me more than life itself and show's me that everyday. I also have 7 children 4 bio and 3 bonus, that love me Unconditionally ❤️ I have my love that I needed back then plus much more!

    "Respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart" is my favorite line. Being an empath and experincing spiritual warfare from family and hateful men who will cross all spiritual boundaries to control...has me fully innerstanding this line. Cause one who will disrespect the spiritual world has no soul or regards to anything. And will stop at nothing and is a very selfish individual

This is the best song when you're ready to share the love you have for yourself with another soul that is worthy . I know if you listen to this, you're most likely a healer, and I pray you find peace knowing that you are loved more then you know, and so needed .your love is Extraordinarily unmatched .

Perhaps I am not really ready for love yet again. I believe she sings about being ready to give and accept consequences , love often means great pain ...and how many of us are truly ready for it? I wonder. So beautiful and thought provoking, I am definitely ready to love this song! ;-p

      chowder125 you missed the other 90% of the song, where she was questioning herself, if she was fit and ready for him first. But, that's how women work, from my experience. Never look inward, blame others, and expect twice as much from a man when she's only bringing half to the table.

    This song bring about a lot of painful memories. My now husband and I were dating at the time and my family was against it. I called him and told him I didn't think it was going to work between us. It was too hard and I hated the pain my family was putting him through. We spent hours on the phone, with him begging me not to give up on us. 15 years later, we are married and I am so glad I didn't give up.

Finally recently found real love after 10plus yrs of getting it wrong. 🤦🏽‍♀️ smh And now EVERY song I listen to n have dreamed of that can fnally have meaning for a lonely hopeless romantic like me has FINALLY now come true. Especially this one. I listen deeper now with more of a passion that i didn't hear b4, but now with a whole different appreciation. Now...it's pure excitement like, "ouuu...listen to this!! Lemme send it to him". 🤭🥰 Not, "aww mannn listen to this ish". 🙄 singing it with desperation n hurt. Feel me?? I swear i want this MAN, this KING, this SON, this FATHER, this FINE CHOCOLATE BLK BROTHER to be my FINAL one n only true love of my life. I'm soooo ready to love him fully n unconditionally. Just hung up with him n said it. "I'm ready to love you now. Soooo like, wassup mannn can we move this along. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Chop Chop"!! Lol That's why I'm even here rt now. So you know it's real...im listening n wanting to tell him that i love him soooo bad already rn. 😩🤷🏽‍♀️ So MOTS...to all that's listening right now with hope in their hearts...just take it from me @43yrs old...real love is STILL possible. It's never too late. So don't EVER give up on love. That's when they show up. Your soulmate, tie, twin flame n best friend still exists. He/she is waiting on you like you are waiting on them. Let God lead you to them. Be patient. Don't force it. N when they do...just embrace it, enjoy it, n let it happen naturally. Ull know when it's them. Trust me. But anyway...imma stop preaching now. Keep enjoying real music ya'll. We are the ones that keep all of them still alive!! For us to continue to love, reminisce, dream, fantasize, dance, n cry to. Cheers to US!! 🥳🥂✌🏽

I think it makes me cry because it took me experiencing a few bumps in the road before reaching the point where I'm at in my life today. I thank God for my husband, He allow us to cross paths at just the right time for both of us. As men & women we go through so much especially when it comes to relationships, alota times the relationships are unequally yoked but we don't realize that until we've gone through it as individuals, so when God blesses us with someone who you just know fasho is meant to be in your life an continue to grow with you, we must not take advantage of that blessing. Embrace it, be patient with it, learn from one another, keep the love alive, an above all things, KEEP GOD FIRST. IT'S ESSENTIAL.

    I am ready for love
    Why are you hiding from me?
    I'd quickly give my freedom
    To be held in your captivity
    I am ready for love
    All of the joy and the pain
    And all the time that it takes
    Just to stay in your good grace
    Lately I've been thinking, maybe you're not ready for me
    Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
    They say watch what you ask for, 'cause you might receive
    But if you ask me tomorrow, I'll say the same thing
    I am ready for love
    Would you please lend me your ear?
    I promise I won't complain
    I just need you to acknowledge I am here
    If you give me half a chance, I'll prove this to you
    I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
    To a man who loves music, a man who loves art
    Respect's the spirit world and thinks with his heart
    I am ready for love
    If you'll take me in your hands
    I will learn what you teach
    And do the best that I can
    I am ready for love
    Here with a offering of
    My voice, my eyes, my soul, my mind
    Tell me what is enough to prove I am ready for love
    I am ready

      +Lani laughlin Don't think it requires pain; maybe hurdles along the way but not being alone with an aorta deep love holding hands makes those seem like pebbles: also if not patient and kind always love doesn't see that just smothers you with character that you want to emulate. I have something to teach as well; mostly aesthetic stuff: these are show towels, Please put on slippers before stepping on bedroom rug, donnt leave ties on doorknob, as well as more real life stuff like I'll write this paper for your speech or laying out complete outfits so this depiction is not as realistic as love is: it's truly a meeting of the mind/souls but she couldn't encapsulate all that in a song and this is an exquisite ode to love itself.
