Love,Love,Abundance

Almost everyone will claim that they agree with the fact that love is the most important thing in life. With almost total agreement on this concept, why is it that real love is so difficult to find in the world and the entire planet seems to be operating in fear rather than love? The real question to ask is what you love. Everyone is in love with something or someone. Unfortunately, most people love material wealth and comfort more than they love other people. This is why you find people who are incredibly wealthy being completely paranoid about protecting their wealth rather than being perfectly willing to share it with others. Those who truly have love in their heart will welcome abundance coming to them, because they know that sharing it with others is the true expression of love. Love always means giving of yourself to another: your time, your affection, and your material goods. When you have true love you don’t put conditions on the terms of giving, you simply give in a genuine effort to please the other person. Those who love God completely are willing to give up everything to do the will of God. This is the test of true love, giving to the loved one with no guarantee that you will be taken care of, yet you simply continue to give in order to provide happiness for the loved one. Love must be unselfish and unconditional to be true love. Otherwise it can simply degenerate into a barter system, which is the basis of most so-called love in today’s world. It is time to determine what the nature of your own love is and see whether it is truly spiritually based or it is still at the core based on maintaining your own material comfort.
