I AM love. To know Me, you must have love in your heart; for without love you cannot know Me. Keep the love flowing freely and learn to love what you are doing; love your environment and love all those souls around you. Love and never count the cost; never seek for reward. You can never give too much love, so do not be afraid and try to withdraw the love flow, even when you are rebuffed. When this happens, it is easy to close up your heart and withdraw for fear of being hurt. Do not do it; it will only make you hard and brittle, and in that state you will never be able to help another soul, for no one is drawn to someone with a hard, unloving heart. Use wisdom and understanding in conjunction with love, and in this way you will keep the perfect balance. The primary lesson of life is to learn to love. Waste no time and learn that lesson quickly.
