i love me....

Love
Let’s just say it again…love. There is so much power behind that word, and so many possible implications. But I want to talk about a love that probably most people don’t think about because there is really no benefit for ME!

Is it possible to love selflessly? To continually pour out?

I have a few friends, whom I love dearly, but it’s all about them. I may jump into the ‘advice’ roll to freely, but it’s often never even an option for me to vent or excite about my own life.

How can we love without getting emotionally attached? how can we love so selflessly that we never want anything in return…not a thank you…no reciprocation…NOTHING?

This is hard for me, because I don’t mind giving of myself and my time for others when they need it. However, I feel resented if I’m not thanked or the offer isn’t returned. How can we not become resentful?

Can we ever truly love like 1 Corinthians 13:4?
