This one came in a newsletter. Very useful.
The truth is that too often we look for love to come our way, when the best way to receive love is to give love on a daily basis.
Here is a quick quiz to see if you are really giving love daily. It is based on holy scriptures that read: Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not boast. Love is not proud, rude or self-seeking and love takes no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love always protects, always trust, always hopes and always perseveres. Love never quits. [1 Corinthians 13]
Now, to take the test, say your name everywhere you see the word LOVE and see if the scripture still speaks the truth. (ie. Ali/Miriam is patient.......that one might get a bunch of us right there!)
If you find that you aren't being love, then perhaps you aren't really giving love to its fullest. Take time this week to be the love you wish to receive and watch how love begins to come your way!
