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!

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.

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 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. The stye of love :

this woman was cheated out of her talent by her label... or it seems so. India belongs with the list of musical legends for her depth of soulful expression. Her ability to relay her emotional energy on a track and bring tangibility to something we are otherwise impossible to bear credential to is not fully appreciated.

This song is so beautiful. You sing it out loud, and you are literally telling the universe you are ready for love. She's says watch what you ask for cause you might receive❤❤ after healing." 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 . They just never learned how to love like you . Embrace that light you carry it's the best part of you because it's something special ❤ sending love an light to all ✨️✨️never give up 🤘🏽✨️🙌🏽🧿🥰

I refused to… but out of the blue..I found myself in a situation.. and as much as I tried to stop it ..I just couldn't.. he's brings me to another level that I can't control..I don't even want to try and fight it…It feels so good..I'm on a level that I've always dreamed of…As much as it feels so good..I'm doubting..Cos I've been here before….
