The Power of Love...

Yesterday, St. Valentine's day, caused me to think about Love and all the many ways we have to show that we care for each other.
I was amused at the amount of men I caught sight of, walking or rather rushing home with a bouquet of flowers to the one they love. Is it a commercial thing that wives expect husbands to display their love with flowers and chocolates?  Perhaps, and yet it is a wonderful thing to have the courage to show the one we love how much we care for them.
This got me thinking about the Power of Love and how we willingly make sacrifices for those we love. Perhaps our ability to love may be hampered by human weakness and yet, will always have a comforting and positive effect.
No wonder God displays His love for us so often, even when we don't recognise His Loving Hand behind the many good happenings in our lives.
Love, when true, does not need or look for a return.  It's enough for the Lover to love and for the receiver to receive.
If only the world could grasp the Power of Love, then what a magnificent world we would have.
