Have you ever had that person in your life that you offer love and more love and more love, but he or she continually show themself unlovable? Well, I have good news. You are not alone. I am fortunate to say that God has allowed me to experience this behavior at many levels in my life. I'm sure there are millions that can say the same. The one thing that I have found is that God can and will take an unbalanced situation and balance it. The scenerio that was released in my spirit is this.

Imagine a person on a tight rope, with equal weight on each side, but the weight on one side begin to slide more to one or the other side. This certainly will throw the balance off causing the person on the rope to wobble and even sometimes fall, but GOD. Imagine His presence on the scene in that same scenerio. As the weight begin to shift to the right, He adds what's needed to the left to reestablish the balance. He does not always prevent the imbalance, but rest assured He will reestablish it.

So it is with love. When we feel that we have done all we can, given as much as is deserved, yet still feel pulled to the left or right, God requires us to step outside of ourselves and give more of only what He has provided-"Unconditional Love". God rewards all things when done to bring glory to his name. He says: "all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose." My dad use to always say "Charity (Love) begins at home and then spreads abroad". Over the years as I have grown, this statement has burst open with such revelation.

Lord, as we grow in love, let it be manifested at home, with our spouse, parents, childen and siblings. Then, let us take that same love into the hedges and highways, chuches, schools, and organizations so that you will be glorified in us and through us.

Be encouraged, hold fast and most of all Love.
