Learning about love
Learning about love
Being straight, we are discovering the joys of love. Just as our old ideas about living had to change, our old ideas about love have to change. Love can't always be measured by self-sacrifice or generosity. We can self-sacrifice ourselves into martyrdom or generosity ourselves into directing and managing other's lives. Love doesn't stipulate or limit. Does our Higher Power limit us? It loves us so much that it lets us go over the limit-to the point where we destroy ourselves. Few of us know much about the true nature of love, but when we are ready, our Higher Power reveals itself to us and shows us about love. Have I learned all about love? May I know with all my heart that my Higher Power is love. -Day by Day
