Love giving...

Most of us have probably experienced it.  We meet someone who does nice things for others.  Yet when we hear them repeatedly boast of their actions, we feel a sense of disappointment.  Something just doesn't seem right.  Years ago, I heard someone say that "we can do the right things for the wrong reasons." It took awhile for me to process that truth but now I understand it more than ever. The motives behind what we do certainly make all the difference.

What we do...what we say...and how we live reveal much about us.  I have found, however, that what is said, done, shared and lived in authentic love is most beautiful and most effective.  Love doesn't need to boast.  It does not bring attention to self.  It is all about loving Him and loving others. The joy of loving changes everything.<3~thl
