I have been wondering what is it in love that when we begin to admit that we are in love or we love what we have we feel that we lose something. We feel that we are tied up and our reach is limited only. We feel that we lose control and focus of what we are supposed to do. We want to make things exclusive to us and when love what we are doing we want to take ownership and lead on it.
These were not supposed to be the case.
When we love and loving what we have, we are chosen to make it better and bring it to its fullness. Our willingness to do more is not to make it less but to make it known that this is one of the manifestations of the goodness of the Lord. When we do more for the person or the things we love, we do it because it is what is ought to be. Our original intention is to make people be reminded and make things a reminder of the source of good and source of love.
We may feel restricted and limited when we love but let us be reminded that love will only be limitless if we ground it on a limitless God.
“Oh dear God of Love. You are boundless, limitless and unconditional. You can bear everything that is in us and can give anything that is not with us yet. Teach me to always look at Your ways so that when I love it will be Your extension and all they will see is You.”
