The Ability To Love

The most beautiful gift a Creator could give
to his earthly creation is the ability to love.
For even as God created man in his image he knew that a man would be lonely without the love and companionship of a woman.
So as God placed a physical desire into a man and
a womans heart he also placed the ability to love within our hearts.
We all have the means to enjoy this gift within our power.
We are free to reject God's gift or we can embrace it.
I choose to embrace the beauty of love and I choose to share my love with a special woman that shares the same desires of love with me.
As I reach for her she has reached for me.
This ability to love is a gift from above.
I thank God that we have been blessed to share in his love.

There is nothing more precious than the gift of love.  Except perhaps the ability to return that same love.  Thanks for sharing.  We truly are blessed.

We can love all we want, but the true gift of love
is when love is returned .....to thee.

For isn't that how God intended it to be?

James:  You are definitely right.  To love and receive unconditional love in return is a wonderful thing.  Beautiful words.
