You cannot be a loving person without first receiving love from God!
"God is love, and he who abides in love, abides in God and God abides in him." (1 John 4:16)
Every ounce of love in this world is from God. Don't forget to take time every day to "receive" love from Him -- meditation, quietly sitting with Him . . . receiving love, going to Mass, reading the Scriptures, and living in His Presence.
Then be love to those around you! Love from God automatically overflows from you to others. Sometimes it takes some effort -- some self-sacrificing, some forgiving, overlooking of faults. Real love is other-centered (not self-centered).
We have such an awesome God?! He's the real deal.
