Maybe it’s one of those parental type things ya know? Like how parents are always like “once you have a child you’ll understand… until then… you have no idea…” and it’s true.

I love my niece and nephew but I know it’s not like a parent loves their child for no reason, selflessly, and without fail…

But yeah I’d go as far as to say the reason most poeple are happy when they’re in love is because they’re LOVING someone else… not getting love (at least that’s true for me)

Thanks for bringing it up!

I have a slightly different take on this. This is something that I have recently come to realize and I’m still in the process of grasping it, but I wonder if understanding God’s love comes from sharing it.

The selfless love that he gives to us, I’m beginning to believe, can only be understood when we find ourselves focused outward, away from ourselves, to love another more than we love ourselves. The funny thing is though, that love does not come from us. It comes from Him. When we simply let ourselves be the conduit of His love, we can then begin to truly understand joy. What do you think?
