Wired For Love

Caroline Leaf, a brain researcher, has written a book that caught my attention: Who Switched Off My Brain. She has some interesting quotes on our love and our thinking processes:

It is often said that forgiveness leads to the ability to love...

Scientific research proves that love is good for your health.

We are wired for love.

Love, Transformation, Vulnerability, & Healing

David Benner exclaimed in his book, Surrender to Love, "The single most important thing I have learned in over thirty years of study of how love produces healing is that love is transformational only when it is received in vulnerability." (p. 76)

He further said, "Genuine transformation requires vulnerability." (ibid)

He reminds us of the risk we experience by allowing ourselves "to be loved unconditionally." (ibid)

Learning- Loving - Living

David Benner wraps up his book, Surrender to Love, with concluding: ""Learning to love is learning to live." (p.101)

He has already said, "There is nothing more important than learning love." (p. 98)

Now he ties learning - love - and life together in a present.

Loving helps us live more fully. Loving brings 'presentness' to life. You are present (engaged, interacting) with your reality and those around you, and it is a present (gift) that you have love in your life.

I want to live, so I must not lose the lesson(s) of love.

Ephesians 3:19- to know this love...so you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Or as The Message version says, "Live full lives, full in the fullness of God."

Today, remember to live and love

"We live, we love..."
"Today we remember to live and love..."
