Love requires humility and openness from "summary" of Walking the Way of Love by Courtney Cowart
Love, at its core, demands a certain level of humility and openness. This is not a passive act, but rather an active decision to set aside our own desires and ego in order to truly connect with another. It requires a willingness to be vulnerable, to admit our own faults and shortcomings, and to listen with an open heart. Humility is the foundation of love because it allows us to see beyond ourselves and our own needs. When we approach love with humility, we are able to truly listen to the needs and desires of our partner without judgment or defensiveness. We are able to put their needs above our own, and to act selflessly in order to nurture and support the relationship. Openness, on the other hand, is essential for love to flourish. Without openness, there can be no true intimacy or connection. Openness allows us to share our innermost thoughts and feelings with our partner, to be vulnerable and authentic in our interactions. It also means being open to feedback and willing to grow and change in response to the needs of our partner. When we approach love with humility and openness, we create a space where trust can thrive and relationships can deepen. We are able to truly see and understand our partner, to empathize with their struggles and celebrate their victories. We are able to communicate with honesty and compassion, and to work through conflicts and challenges with grace and understanding.- Love is a choice that we must make every day. It requires us to set aside our own desires and ego, and to approach our relationships with humility and openness. It is a journey of growth and self-discovery, of learning to truly see and love another person for who they are. In the end, it is through humility and openness that we are able to experience the true depth and beauty of love.
