"I've Got So Much Love to Give"

Ever noticed how we say such things. "I've just got so much love to give." And then what usually follows is a litany of requirements for who and what WE WANT in a person to access this supposed treasure of untapped love. Hmmmm, we do try so hard to cover our flesh with fig-leaves woven in good sounding language. And boy am I a guilty one here as always.

We spend so much time looking for what we want, because (sarcasm coming) we "know" 1) what we want 2) what we need 3) what that which we want looks like 4) what that which we need looks like 5) that we have the power to arrange circumstances, schedules, and priorities that we can acquire such. If even one of those is untrue, then they are all untrue. BTW, they are all usually untrue. But wow, we so easily buy into these illusions.

But how about this? How about instead of looking for what you need...you look to and trust the One Who is EVERYTHING, and He happens to have EVERYTHING, and He happens to also know EVERYTHING, and also also is in control of EVERYTHING. And just for kicks, He IS love.
