How do I love when everything in the world tells me love is something I need, something I need to try to get from others and is something that must fulfill me. But it seems like nothing ever tells me how to love. Loving someone means forgetting about what I need and instead, thinking about what the other person needs. Receiving love means accepting what the other person offers me even if it doesn't exactly meet my idea of what an act of love should be. Receiving love means letting them share what they choose to with me from their heart. Loving means letting the other person be who they are and not trying to bend them to something I think they should be. Loving means respecting and honoring the other person's ideas, viewpoints, feelings and opinions even if I don't agree with them. True love's home is within two hearts made one. Truly two hearts beat as one. There is complete rest, safety and peace within true love. Each can become fulfilled with individual expression going out from the foundation of trust and acceptance within It is hard to love freely with no strings attached to that love. To accept the love someone very important to you gives you in the way they want to give it, not how you expect it should be. Just letting love happen. No rules, no patterns or ten point lists to try to memorize and implement. Love doesn't work that way, it has a life of its own and you have to let it take its own course. ...and on this course, if we submit to it, healing in the soul happens. we lose a lot of pre-conceived notions and gain a new reality into our lives. The foundation of true love is always the plan of God, the life of Christ and the moving of the Holy Spirit within.  mailbox
