The person who asks 'How much do you love me?' or the child who says 'You love my brother more than you love me' misapprehends the nature of love. It isn’t that each person possesses a finite quantity of love to be apportioned among those he loves. The love a man feels for his life-mate, or for one of his children, is not diminished by the love he feels for another of his children, or for a brother, or an old friend. It is as though there were a separate space in one’s heart for each beloved person, and that space is brim-full of love. When another child is born, a new pocket of love opens in the heart devoted fully and solely to that child. There is only one way to love…fully."<br /><br />I have no idea what his beliefs were—he never mentioned God—but I found it interesting that his final thoughts were focused entirely on love. He went on to say that his vision for eternity only included love.<br /><br />Whether people admit it or not, when everything else fails and is stripped away, love is their only hope and refuge. Fortunately for the world, God is love. His love is absolute and infinite, His love far exceeds our love, and He loves us all…fully.<br /><br />Wonderfully comforting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
