Relationships governed by Love

BY RICHARD BERGENHEIM

How refreshing it is that people are now talking less about the "me generation." There are more reports about people finding a sense of fulfillment by getting out of themselves and focusing on helping others. They feel motivated to do something with their lives that makes a difference. They're discovering that there's nothing more natural or normal than to reach out to others. It's the kind of discovery that points to the fact that our very existence is about caring. You could say we've been made to care.

Let's look at it this way. My car has been designed to run on gas. You and I have been designed to run on love. God, divine good, fills us with love.
