Love...

I fell in love with this photo of a woman either in the throws of despair, or filled with overwhelming joy and love. I tend to think she is overwhelmed with love.

The vibrant red against a black background takes my breath away. If I could see her face, it would be aglow with the afterglow of love. It appears to be a moment of gratitude and quiet inner joy. Many have never felt that kind of love, but it is out there. And it is there for everyone to embrace and nurture.

As we travel along life's road, we build lifelong relationships with a small, dear circle of family and friends. And how best do we build and maintain these relationships? By following the Word of God.  Healthy relationships are build upon honesty, compassion, trust, responsible behavior, optimism and sharing.   All of these principles are found time and time again in God's Holy Word.  When we read God's Word and follow His commandments, we enrich our lives and the lives of those who are closest  to us.

So where ever you are in your relationship or if you are trying to build a relationship, remember that if God's love abides in you it will spill over into the hearts of others, and your thirst for love will be quenched with joy and a sence of peace that only comes through God's love for us.

Love is an attribute of God. To love others is evidence of true faith...Kay Arthur

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  1 John 4:8 NIV
