Hello Blog Readers! :) I shared this with some friends a couple months ago and wanted to post it on my blog. I heard it on the radio and I often remember this great piece of wisdom: Essentially the speaker was comparing love to a muscle. The more we use our muscles the stronger they become. In the same way, the more we use love, the more we exercise it and the greater our ability to love becomes. When we exercise our muscles to make ourselves stronger, our muscles can become sore and they hurt. When we use our love there are times when we will unfortunately get hurt by others. But as we exercise forgiveness and continue to practice love, it is then that our love is strengthened. ♥
