Have you ever asked yourself the question, how do you know when your heart is full of love?
If you have or if you're asking yourself right now, I'm sure you've come up with an array of answers. It's not an easy one to answer. Love has so many layers. I think it's very common that when people feel good, peaceful, and happy, that their heart is full of love. This is true.
However, I also think True Love -- Divine Love -- goes beyond the "feeling good." As I have learned from Master Ou, Love is a deep respect for other human beings, a devotion to them and their lives, offering others a sincere affection and kindness. Love is a feeling of honor, responsibility and care for those in our life, beginning with family, relatives , friends, coworkers and then expanding out to every single person that crosses our path.
Sharing Divine Love IS an honor and our responsibility to each other. And we will mess up, fall down, start again and again. But there is no better reward than knowing you have done your absolute best. The rest, well, we have to learn to let go, to try again, perhaps at a different opportunity and to trust we are being cared for through it all.
Sometimes we wait to feel good before we offer our love to others. Why not try it the other way around? I think you might be surprised.
