LOVE HEALS

Maybe you feel so starved for love, this post seems unsuitable for you. Try this, this Christmas season. Be the one who on purpose shows kindness and love. It will heal you, too.
I cannot think of anything more peace-filling, more soothing, more contentment -inducing than to receive love. To be reassured of someone’s love, is like having a fresh shower after a lengthy dry period that drains the earth of all moisture. Receiving love is the most profound encounter with which God blesses us. Ah, it is like being wrapped in a soft blanket of God’s loving energy. Love impacts our mental and physical well-being. Without exaggeration, we can declare that it is essential for our survival. Indeed, it mysteriously touches our emotions, but it also affects our body. Notice how much better you feel physically and how your mood improves when you receive a hug or affection, or when you have expressed your love to someone or participate in an act of love?
Loving and being loved actually improves our level of health.

Talk to you soon.
