1 Corinthians 13:13

The Greatest of these is Love....

This bible verse really makes things quite complicated. Love...the greatest is love. Doesn't Love always seem the hardest. Love for me is definately the hardest. I think that understanding what Love really means is so complex that at this time in my life, I am not quite able to comprehend its full meaning.

Do not get me wrong. I dearly love my family, and close friends, but I do believe the implications of this word LOVE stretches so much further than the love I claim to have for these people. How can we show others love, how can we live love in our daily lives so those we come in concact with can feel our Love radiating from our very being.

What can you do to show the capacity of your LOVE?
How can we encourage others to a life of Love and service? What does that four letter, beautifully simple word mean for you?

For me, this word means vulnerability to those I choose to spend my time with, for those I choose to Love. This means a smile, a kind act, an open heart. Taking time to make a phone call to a grandparent, or elderly friend. For me Love is also being open to being loved in return. I have found that it is so much easier to love than to be loved...why is that?

Love, songs have been written about it, people have died for it, a holiday was created to surround it. The question is, how will YOU use this feeling, this action, this word to make a difference?

How do YOU love?
