There are those times when I experience what I call, "surges of love"...emotional times when I realize how much I do love....how much love there is within me. It’s then my heart fills and tears overflow because I can’t hold it all. I must share it.
I know from experience (and I’ve been told) that some others don’t know how to respond to my sharing of this love. They have difficulty in accepting it and put up barriers. I may perceive that difficulty as rejection and in that rejection know the hurtful side of love.
I am coming to grow in knowledge and understanding of this love. It is both human and Divine but its source is God. So I experience this love, which is all-inclusive and all-powerful. At these times, love is such an overwhelming force within me, I must surrender my self to it. It’s then the Divine and the human become one and I’m given a tiny understanding of the immensity of God’s love..
As St. Paul says in his letter to the Corinthians (I Cor. 13-14) when speaking of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, These three remain: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love. (I Cor. 13:13)
