Love

I hold you in the moment dearly, firmly pressed to my heart – though dearness seems an acquired taste for many, expressed purely only by God – So, I hold you in the moment, no thought of personal predilections; having taken lessons from the one who made me, endures my many transgressions. Yes, I love you as I try to imitate the love of my creator...love you as my Father graces me constantly, nurtures and forgives. Therefore, it is in the name of Love that I love, for God has blessed me with realization of His all abiding compassion and ever presence.

We are endlessly and unconditionally loved by God. This love, we are entitled to share with others. By holding it to ourselves, we are blocking the flow of divine love ! A lovely paean on Love, dear Joe

Personal love and God's love...we are infants when it comes to God's Love. Thank you, Valsa. Have a beautiful day!

I sense that is how God loves it. I hope so anyway. If denied access to heaven, on my way down I can see myself yelling up, "Well, my cats would disagree!"
