We would all like to be loved more and feel full of love isnt that so. But I have a question for you. How do you know for sure WHEN you are getting love? in other words
How do you feel love, and how do you really KNOW you are having it?
Sounds like a funny question doesnt it. Do you feel love when youre biting into your favorite chocolate or candy? Of course not! Well maybe sometimes? If youre experiencing it with that someone special! So how do you know that you have been really loved by somebody (lipstick on your collar proves nothing?).
Wouldnt it be lovely if you had a little light on the end of your nose that lit up every time you knew love so that you and others would know it? No, its never quite that simple. Are you experiencing love when you receive a phone call from your favorite friend or a distant loved one? What about when you get up out of bed, and its a vacation, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Youre full of energy, you feel great is that love?
Do you know love when a friend gives you an unexpected gift? The question is: are good feelings equivalent to love? What do you feel? Does it follow then that if someone can make you feel good, that youre being loved? If thats so then there are some people that you and I could never love, because they live deep in the valley of depression and misery despite their comfortable circumstances. Does that also mean that it is easier to love a person who is in a great mood than someone who is angry? Are you feeling loved when you get what youve wanted for a long time? It may be a new gadget, a new relationship, a promotion or perhaps some extra income. Do you really feel un-loved until you get it?http://www.livingforloving.com
If youre expecting a definitive answer to these challenges from me, youll be disappointed. How we know love is a very complex and personal matter. Built upon our associations of experiencing love through a variety of activities in our past. We may receive love in a special touch, an encouraging word or even from an act of service. What makes you feel loved? Really loved?
Take some time during the next day to notice when you feel love, and what happened to make it so. I guarantee that if you do that for the next 24 hours, you will see loving in a new light. Every time you notice that you are getting love, thank God for it, it is a gift from God to be able to know and to share real love.http://www.livingforloving.com
We all are seeking love, and yet most of us do not even know when we are receiving it or not. How can we expect to find love if we cannot even recognize it? In the First Book of Corinthians Chapter 14 St. Paul challenges us to earnestly seek spiritual powers, but above all to pursue love as our greatest quest.
Until next time this is Pierre Basson

Find love in your life, and never ever, ever let go of it.
