Ducky,
Even though you state that your love is not always returned to you - I think it is. I think you just don't recognize it.

If God is love - then love, by its nature is creation. When you give love - you create - and more love is in the world - hence you reap. To create is to love. Love extends outward simply because it cannot be contained. Being limitless, it DOES NOT STOP. It creates forever, but NOT in
time. God’s creations have ALWAYS BEEN, because HE has always been. YOUR creations
have always been, because you can create only as HE creates. Kind of that "if you build it - they will come...." - you're building - and it will come.

I think we become confused when we view ATTACK as love. Some relationships we set up - are not based on love - because we feel jealously, envy, possessiveness, etc. We think we can lose the love - so we try to protect it - we set up defenses - and in doing so - we bring about the attack - or what we view as a loss, or lack, of love.

The mind that accepts attack CANNOT love. This is because it believes that it can
DESTROY love, and therefore does not understand what love IS. If it does not understand
what love IS, it CANNOT perceive itself as loving. This loses the awareness of being;
induces feelings of unreality; and results in utter confusion. Your own thinking has done this, because of its power. But your own thinking can also save you FROM this, because its power is not of your making. Your ability to DIRECT your thinking as you will IS part of its power. If you do not believe you can do this, you have DENIED the power of your thought, and thus rendered it powerLESS in your belief.

Freedom is creation because it is love. What you seek to imprison you do NOT love. Therefore, when you seek to imprison ANYONE, including YOURSELF, you do not love her/him and you cannot identify with her/him. When you imprison yourself, you are losing
sight of your true identification.

We are told that love is to be found in a gold ring - but it isn't.
