Love, to be real, must cost, it must hurt, it must empty us of self..We seldom see love. Real love, the kind of love that totally changes us and changes our world, gets buried in the self-interest and selfishness of our age. Yet, we can see love if we put our heart in God. Seeing love reminds us love is real. Seeing love reminds us God is real. Seeing love affirms we have a place in God's plan for the universe. We can see the love of God working on every heart, even the heart which is running away and rebelling. We can see the love of God working on the heart full of sadness because love is absent. We can see love in the eyes of little children who live in peace, comfort, and joy because others love them. We can see love between couples with wrinkled hands and grey hair who have shared decades together. We can see love in the eyes of the aged who are alone but whose eyes light up when they talk of days gone by. We can see love in the countless hours of worry and dedication given to others. We can see love when we see Christ with the little ones. We can see love when we see Christ dying on the cross for each of us. To see love we need to open our eyes and open our heart to the power and touch of God..touching our heart and soul..as He also touches the heart and soul of others.
*~ Dearest Lord, thank you so much for blessing us with eyes to see love, hearts to love others and lives to experience Your love. From our hearts, we pray that You may continue to teach us how to love as You loved..please keep the hearts and souls of Your people open to Your loving touch always. Please daily work in the lives of others who have not had the opportunity of experiencing You and tasting of Your everlasting love..that they may know and be in tune to Your love in a very real and special way. May true love - Your wondrous love - be the fuel of the fire burning within our hearts..as we daily seek to live and love in the light of eternity.. ~*
Love never fails.. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:8a
