To love another

"Love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, loves dries on the surface and must be nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive." The Five People you Meet in Heaven

This is a great quote from a great book. It is true that love can come showering down on us when we are in love. But alot of times we forget that the roots of our love needs to be watered. We forget that the world can dry up the love we have for others by the pressures placed on our relationships. 

For some people they think that love has to be a certian way or a certian place. How often does love really follow the rules? I don't remember seeing a rule book in the bookstore for love.  Who said we had to follow certian rules to love another person? Who says my rules have to be the same as yours for loving a person? I know that the way I love others is very different from the person next to me.  The people I love will be different as well. 

One of my favorite songs from the musical Les Miserables says, "to love another person is to see the face of God." Love is so much bigger than you or me.  Love also does have a certain body type or certain people  Every person has the capacity to love other people but they have to choose to love.  When we truly love someone we can see the face of God and fill our lives with more than we can imagine.
