Funny how we push away love.
We're too busy or too scared or too something. We find safety in doing so that we don't have to risk heartbreak in receiving. After all, if we let ourselves be loved, we might get "unloved" in the process.
The truth is there are no guarantees in human relationships.
Love is work, receiving love is work and the risk is real.
So...give up?
Maybe not.
Why not test the waters of love with the only guaranteed love in the universe?
If God made us and if He authored the Bible, then it is true that He cannot "unlove" us. He promises to love us unconditionally with the love that He authored, lavished on the beings He made.
That is pretty serious love.
If your human love receptacle needs tweaking, it might work to practice being loved by God. You can put the time in with God that every relationship needs and, with the confidence that you cannot be turned away, you can learn to receive and trust love in new ways.
A happy thought for sure and more importantly, a healing thought.
Here's to love...after all.
