Thoughts That Touch My Heart

On my earlier post about loving because you are ready—not because you are lonely—someone asked, "Ready for what~?!?" My response to that question is: "We become ready when we have dealt with our baggage. We are ready when we have learned what it takes to become a healed and whole person. We are ready when we have forgiven others for what they have done to us. We are ready when we are no longer a giant sucking sound—sucking the life, time, and energy from another human being. We are ready when our hearts are so filled with the love of God that we can love others without the pain, anger, and bitterness of the past. We are ready when we finally meet the one person who is worthy of our love."-Doris Little
