The Gift Of Love

The more you love,
the more love you are
given to love with.
Lucien Price

I am deluded to think the love of others will complete me, so I strive for it; I long for it.

But I receive love only when I am unselfishly offering it.

It is one of life's wonderful mysteries that I must first give love away if I hope to get it.

Loving another tests my patience, strength, and security.

Love spurned is dreaded and perhaps too familiar, but I must risk it once again if I am to find the love I deserve.

The gifts of love are many and
guaranteed when the act of love is
honest, unselfish, whole, and unconditionally offered.
