It’s true, you know. All things grow with love. Children grow with the love of family, but trees grow with the ongoing gift of air and sun and earth. The love that nature gives is not personal, and doesn’t distinguish between who needs or deserves it the most, which is more or less the definition of God.
Where do you see love encouraging you to grow?
I am going to call the following “love”: the times when a salesperson or staff member of a business is friendly and helpful to customers. There are times when there can be mistakes, misunderstandings and weariness on the part of one or both parties. When either party exhibits understanding and patience in such situations, I call that a manifestation of love. So much of it comes from what happened to a person as a child: were the parents or adults the type that mirrored love to them as well as to other people? If so, then there is a good chance that these kinds of friendly, pleasant encounters will show the mutual love and respect that we all deserve.
