When we first learn about love we attach ourselves to things
that make us happy. We say things like,
“I can’t live without him or her.” Our
love in this stage of life, if we are honest with ourselves is about others
filling the various gaps in our lives.
Sort of a “I need you to make me whole.”
The problem with this kind of love is that it tends to make
demands and attempt to manipulate others when the object of our love is not
making us happy.
What if we learned to be happy, learned to be complete,
learned to be whole, in and of ourselves.
Just me and God. Just you and
God. We could care about others, we
could love others without demanding that they satisfy our longings.
Wholeness begins, real love begins when we stop wanting the
other person to solve our problems. Set
them free from your demands. Set
yourself free to become complete in God.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
