“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” – Maya Angelou
To love is to be free; free to do good even when your deeds are not recognized, free to care even when your affections are not returned. To love is to allow yourself to be like a river flowing so strongly with life-giving water. Let your love flow so freely then without conditions or restraints.
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death…
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
-Song of Songs 8:6-7, NIV
“The great spiritual task facing me is to so fully trust that I belong to God that I can be free in the world–free to speak even when my words are not received; free to act even when my actions are criticized, ridiculed, or considered useless…. I am convinced that I will truly be able to love the world when I fully believe that I am loved far beyond its boundaries.” – Henri J.M. Nouwen, Reaching Out
