I really have not given this concept of life-giving love much thought. How we are lost without love within our own lives. Love sustains us and pushes us forward by encouraging us to carry on. It lifts our spirits and gives us hope. All is not lost if we have love in our lives.
In self-gratification, one takes without the consideration of another, no love is given from that selfish act. In giving your love, you care and are sensitive to a person's needs. You wish them well in their endeavors and lend a helping hand when you can. You care for that whole person and not from what you can get from them. You love them and help them to flourish rather than take advantage of them. Life-giving love is compassionate, kind and unselfish. It can breathe new life into a lost soul.
A pouring out of your love into the world is what our world needs. Love can heal a festering wound whereas hate will keep it open. A healing is needed badly within our world and only those with a loving heart can help those who are hurting. A giver of love is what the takers in this world is really looking for. They are looking for life's meaning and love can open that door. It can give them a direction to go in. They will be looking into the light rather than the darkness. In the light, they will see what was missing in their lives and it was love.
Find that spark of love within your own life. Start by thinking about someone you really care for and mentally wish them well. Project only good thoughts toward them and feel that warmth within yourself. Let the love you find within yourself soften your heart and let kindness and compassion take hold. Practice to be a better person. Let the old ways past away and a new you take over. Pray for others that they may find love and be changed by it. Love is life giving, for God created us from his love and God is love (1 John 4:8).
