There are so many things we do in life that require training, knowledge, education, and experience in order to take on a task or accept a job. While you may need to learn certain tasks necessary to care for a child, love is just there and it grows. Children just love instinctively.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. (1 Corinthians 13:9-10)
Gifts or talents such as intelligence, arts, and intuitiveness are partial and overshadowed when compared to the overwhelming completeness of unconditional love. (John 3:16, Luke 23:34)
Be open even in the most difficult times and with difficult people. Offer friendship to a new co-worker or neighbor; call or message someone with whom you may have hit a rough spot in your relationship; just hold the door or offer a cart to someone at a store. Sometimes the moment of kindness, the unconditional love you offer may be all they receive that day. It might be just what they need to turn a bad day into a great day.
Offer unconditional love: the person you change may be yourself.
