Giving is Love Realized

We arrive into this lifetime with everything we require to live abundantly. As we grow through our infancy, we are nurtured and cared for by our parents and become accustomed to those ways. Naturally, we expect that we should always receive in satisfaction of our desires. As a child, those desires include comfort, food, occasional pampering that invokes smiles and giggles of complete satisfaction. The pathways to maturing however introduce us all into a sense of confusion on many levels.  One definite level indicates that as we grow older, we should expect that all our needs or desires including specifically emotional and physical should be provided by any or everyone that we nay acquaint ourselves with. This results in a selfish attitude unless we understand the true meaning of the inherently most vital gift love.

Our creator provided with the one gift that we need to cherish. The gift of love is the essential energy that satisfies all our needs. It is in the gift of self-love that we understand how blessed we are to experience joy in giving. We learn that in giving to ourselves the attention and self- nurturing, that we boost our self-esteem and confidence. As a result, we are better equipped to contribute to the energy that propels the cycle of life.

Giving is love made visible. As our creator gave us life, we are enabled to sustain and energize this life through the contributions of our affections, time, respect, appreciation and care among another numerous positive qualities. In choosing to establish a lasting relationship with another, we take a special journey in doubling the force of love. Loving someone is the highest form of the act of giving. Without expectations to satisfy our wants or needs, we give unequivocal love because we choose to give our attention, respect, care and resources to that seemingly deserving someone. The realization of the bonding of this relationship is however realized when the love shared is reciprocated. Without reciprocity, there cannot be a truly loving relationship. The one giving will feel joyful in giving but will be guided through wisdom in the near future that there is no respect or appreciation to its giving. As result, the one will give its love energy to another reciprocating cause.  The one who becomes stoned drunk through receiving will also become blinded through self-glut and its energies will become dissipated.

Love expressed in reciprocity is the energy that fuels the joys of life. Yes! It is our nature as human beings to want affection than it is to give affection. However, it is in giving that we receive way beyond our simple choice to give first. It is the only way to realize this energy that sustains our lives.

To love is to give!
