Be Tender With My Love

Be Tender With My Love

Loving is a risk. One's love may not be returned. One may feel vulnerable to hurt. One may be open to criticism by expressing love.

For some there is a deep fear involved in loving, in sharing, in disclosing, and in intimacy.

For most of us, the pain of loss of love may be the worst pain a human can feel.

So we must be tender with love.

Acceptance, gentleness, care, and understanding provide a safe harbor for expressions of intimacy and love.

As we move toward intimacy and emotional closeness, it is essential to remember the fear that some may feel as they allow themselves to open their hearts.

Be Tender.

Hello,
Although I would not normally address this in a public venue, I really love your blogs and just today feel a need to talk about this.

Everyone would like to be treated tenderly and kindly. Within what I call the metaphysical community, however, I have witnessed what I would call "purchase orders". A person puts out a purchase order into the universe, calling to themselves someone who they "have made a list of attributes they would like to have in a mate". As we all know - the universe works. A being who can fulfill those "listed" qualifications or attributes responds and the caller is presented in their life with the being who answered their call. The problem comes when the caller then realizes that they "left something out" or that what they thought they wanted is not really what they wanted at all. They then convey to the being who has answered their call that that being is "not good enough". They do this through their thoughts and through talking to them and about them - in a myriad of ways.

Kindness and tenderness work both ways in all relationships. If a match is not right - it is not right - but the person who was attracted to you by what you have asked for or by your vibrations is a worthwhile deserving being who also deserves kindness and tenderness and happiness - and the appreciation that goes with the recognition that you called and they answered.

Hi Jean... Oh yes. Thank you so much for this. You are so, so right. Love is so delicate and so powerful... we must be tender and careful with those we love and those who love us.

Thanks for your insight and wisdom,

Jennifer

hi...i was reading the articles and comments on this page and decided id like to add a comment as well. i was looking up growing in love because as jean said some of us put out to the universe what we want in a partner and when we get what we want we discover some flaws. I did just that and discovered flaws also...and i discovered alot about myself, my insecurities, the different ways I was challenged in my thinking about how a relationship should be and also what i thought he would be for me. well...it has taken a year and a half to finally see that what i asked for is what has definitely been good for me...in my own healing and also for my partner in his and that i am very grateful for. i could have given up...on him...on myself...figured it was too hard he was no good...someone else would be better and perhaps so...and...i chose to keep on and we now share something i like to call...love. and growing in love. lots and lots of stuff...just lots...love to you all out there...there is always sunshine after the rain...denni.
