Touching The Heart Of Another Isn't Giving It’s Receiving
We don't love in a vacuum and we don’t give love without knowing it’s power in receiving love. When you move to love you've already done some heavy lifting. Think about your kids, your spouse, your best friends. It’s easy to lean in to their needs and desires. With them it’s natural to allow love to spill out of you. They give you the ability to exercise the need to give, the desire to put away self and act on your sense of compassion and that'd be you receiving love! How about a stranger in peril? What moves you to them? It's not simply need. It’s also the joy you understand is possible from the very act of receiving love. It’s why you feel a deep longing to reach out and serve the community around you. How about those hard to love? Ultimately this is the target we'd like to bullseye. Strengthening spiritual muscle means we put aside ourselves long enough to exercise the joy in receiving love because you have experienced love. Our expectations need to drop. Our cultural assumptions need to die and our idea of personal satisfaction needs to take a backseat as we give way to the receiving of love.
