The Only Thing Of Value We Can

Our Talents Are The Gift That God Gives To Us... What We Make Of Our Talents Is Our Gift Back To God

Love Is Trusting, Accepting, And Believing, Without Guarantee. Love Is Patient And Waits, But It's An Active Waiting, Not A Passive One. For It Is Continually Offering Itself In A Mutual Revealing, A Mutual Sharing. Love Is Spontaneous And Craves Expression Through Joy, Through Beauty, Through Truth, Even Through Tears.

When Love Is Accompanied With Deep Intimacy, It Raises Us To The Highest Level Of Human Experience. In This Exalted Space, We Can Surrender Our Egos, Become Vulnerable And Know Levels Of Joy And Well-being Unique Among Life Experiences. We Attain A Glimpse Of The Rapture That Can Be Ours. Boundaries Are Blurred, There Are No Limitations And We Rejoice In Union. We Become One And, At The Same Time, Both.

It Is Difficult For Some People To Accept That Love Is A Choice. This Seems To Run Counter To The Generally Accepted Theory Of Romantic Love Which Expounds That Love Is Inborn And As Such Requires No More Than To Accept It. This Theory Believes That Love Is A Magical Force Which Frees Us From All Suffering And Solves Every Problem, That It Is An End Unto Itself. To A Limited Extent, There May Be Some Truths To Each Of These Beliefs, But Having The Capacity To Love Is Not The Same As Having The Ability To Love.

Loving Yourself Involves The Discovery Of The True Wonder Of You; Not Only The Present You, But The Many Possibilities Of You. It Involves The Continual Realization That You Are Unique, Like No Other Person In The World, That Life Is, Or Should Be, The Discovery, The Development And The Sharing Of This Uniqueness.
