Love and Choices
The Free Gifts

LOVE

The greatest gift that we can give away and still keep, is the gift of love.  And the second greatest gift would be “free will.”

We cannot buy love, yet we can own it.  Some own love, but it does not accomplish much while in their possession.  Love fulfills its purpose when it is given.  The ironic thing about true love is the more you give, the more you get in return.

Love for humanity can satisfy any size, shape, gender, color, and can remedy problems from the smallest to the greatest.  From the return of a lost dog to creating world peace.  When used properly, love can solve all world ill conditions.  That’s what love is designed to do.  It only needs proper usage in its purest form.

The reason why this simple remedy is not used is because it would eradicate greed, selfishness, jealousy, power hunger, control, manipulation, confusion, hate, all of which are devices used people to give them a sense of “power” over others.  This false victory only lasts but a moment.  Then it is adopted and implemented by other such pitiful individuals.

When love is the foundation, the core, the reason, the tool, which is used to initiate a solution, the end result means good for all.  Everyone wins!

Love does not have a face, yet you can see it on one.  It does not have a size, yet it fits the tiniest to the most massive like a well-tailored garment.  It does not have a color, so it is suitable for anyone who wears it.

CHOICES

We did not select free choice, it, too is a gift.  But the freedom to make choices does not mean they are always correct or best.  It only means we have the privilege to make choices freely.

Whatever choices we make regarding our lives, rest assured that there are and will always be consequences.  Actions will never result in nothing.  Something will always follow the action.  If we choose to live our lives as if there is nothing afterward, that’s our choice.  Still, it does not mean it’s the correct one or the best.  And we will still have to deal with the response to the actions we chose.  If we live our lives as if something will come after, that is our choice also.

Know this, that whatever choices we make while in this existence that we call “life”, there are repercussions.  Since we know that all actions do not produce immediate results, know, that you life choices will certainly have results now or later.  We see it evident today, similarly all consequences for our actions will not end with our death.  You will receive for your choices what’s due, either now or later.

Be a Blessing to Someone!
