What is love to you? Is it just a feeling, or is there more to it? Sometimes we get caught up in the fantasy of emotion, the thrill and excitement of being a part of something great. Although exhilarating, there is much more to be experienced.
However, you define love, there is one thing for certain, it is enduring. How do we know this? Experience is the greatest teacher. True compassion does not originate in man. It is a spiritual endowment that we open ourselves up to. You can block or suppress emotions, but pure love flows freely. It is without blemish, motive, jealousy, and fear. Love impresses upon the heart and leads to acts of thoughtfulness, selflessness, and care. It is patient and kind, never pushy or overbearing.
Love is meant to be shared. It is meant to be embraced. Its presence creates closeness and not destruction. Peace and not confusion. Joy and not sorrow. Freedom and not anxiety. Forgiveness and not condemnation. Life and not death. It can motivate, support, and strengthen. It provides clarity and vision, produces trust and security, covers, protects, and nurtures. Today, let go and open your heart to receive the truth that is.
