Selfless love

Perhaps the greatest pain in love is losing the person loved to death or to the memory of that love. People we love may die or their love for us dies. Either way this imparts a sort of death that wounds the heart that loves. The wounds can bleed and fester through life. Only a love that loves without expecting to be loved in return can heal its own wounds. Selfless love survives loss because it heals itself. The reason it exists is only to love, nothing more, and death has no power over it.

Caring

To care for someone makes sense only when that someone knows about it. Let it be know so that wonderful things happen to your life and the others.

Giving

It is not how much you give that matters. But how much love accompany that giving. Millions maybe given; but without love, what merit does that giving brings? Give then with love, and let that love determine how much you need to give.

Facing the Wind

Encountering oppositions and criticisms can mean that we have at last taken a stand worthy of our gifts. But what we need to be careful about in facing the strong winds in our lives is the temptation to forget that we stood strong and tall against the elements not on our own strength but through the grace of God that works in us. Forgetting this truth will make the triumph against the wind as meaningless as our fall before it. For either way does not make us closer to the God who loves us endlessly.
