Love's a 'Risk': You Have To Give It To Get It...
The more you love, the more love you are given to love with. ----- Lucien Price
With love comes promises of sentiment as rapturous as fall's splendor of color and as delicate as a crystal of snow. Love empowers us to handle the struggles that bind us, the struggles that stretch us near to our breaking points, before we grow. The familiar sights and muffled sounds of each moment vibrate with greater intensity when we're giving and receiving love.
We're deluded to think the love of others will complete us, so we strive for it; we long for it. But we receive love only when we're unselfishly offering it. It is one of life's wonderful mysteries that we must first give love away if we hope to get it.
Loving another tests our patience, strength, and security & sometimes, even our sanity. Love spurned is dreaded and perhaps too familiar, but we must risk it once again if we are to find the love we need & deserve.
The gifts of love are many and guaranteed when the act of giving love is honest, unselfish, whole, and unconditionally offered.
