And it seems reasonable to realize that, as someone earlier said, love is an emotion that we may feel all of the time for someone; however, love is also about actions, outwardly and inwardly, that we may not be following through with consistently or in a healthy way when we are dragging ourselves down.

I always love my children and my husband; however, if I become down on myself and my life, my ability to be completely in that love and devoted wholeheartedly without isolating or being more than the usual impatient or perhaps expecting more from them than I give to them at that point can kick in. It isn't a huge sin or error. It is just what it is. I have to remember than I can't build those relationships up and keep them healthy and keep them consistent if I can't build myself up and keep myself healthy. Not fun to look at that, but it is the reality. Fortunately it is fixable and non-fatal.
