Limits of Love: Abundance

If you’ve had more than one child, you may have wondered, “How will I find enough love to love two children?”  It can seem like we are using up all our love on our first child.  Then, when you hold baby #2 in your arms, you realize that you have discovered a whole new reservoir of love.  That’s the way love works.  It operates on the principle of abundance: you will never have less love by using it on others.  Love is never diminished.  It only grows greater.

It’s important that we understand the reason for this.  Love does not originate with us.  We don’t manufacture more love when we meet a new friend or have a new grandchild.  Love comes from God.  He has poured his love in our hearts.  When our lives require more love, more love is available to us.  So you can go out and love people without a thought of running out.  An endless supply is yours.
