"Love never fails..."


"Love never fails."
- I Corinthians



How is this
possible?

Are you telling me that
when I love
I will always
get what I want,
what I need,
what I
deserve?

No,
what I am saying
is that when you love
you have no wants,
you have no needs,
you have no expectations
of what you deserve
from someone,
or
something
else.

You are full...
of Love.


Love never fails 
to delight, 
to demand your best, 
to require the extra mile, 
unflinching faith, 
unfailing hope...

In this, 
that there 
is a Love never fails to
breathe life into 
your heart and
resurrect your hopes 


true Love 

is all about the
act of loving
and nothing
can deprive you of
fulfilling this -- 

your
mission and
purpose --
to love

No one can stop you
from loving
who,
and what,
you love

They can stop themselves
from returning
your love,
but that is not
your business...
that is theirs.

We are

each filled with the
power to love
not
the
hunger to
be the 

object of
the loving.

we are
completely fulfilled
just in the loving,
not by how it is received,
or reciprocated.

If success is measured
by the doing,
the being,
the living and breathing of
itself
then "to love"
is
enough.

It is
empowering,
rewarding,
satisfying...

it is more
than
enough
for you 

to know
why the
caged bird
sings,

a mother
watches
at the window

long into 
the night,

a Master 
served, 

a King 
marched,

and the sun never
asks
the earth
to say
thank you

it is enough
to shine,
to watch,

to serve, 
to march,
to sing,
to write,
to love...



"...Love cannot be
deprived of
its manifestation
or object."

~ Mary Baker Eddy
