Day 31 - Reactive vs. Proactive

I sat talking with my wife the other night about the things that we are learning from the 100 Days of Love challenge. She commented that she noticed that as she has been trying to be more loving she has primarily been reactive in her love. In other words, she has been working on reacting to others with love in all the things she does. While she had been making good progress with this she noticed that she did not feel as though she was progressing in her ability to love as much as she would have liked. She decided she needed to be more proactive in her expressions of love.

We all are at different stages of increasing our love. Both being reactive and proactive are important parts of this, however, it is important not to neglect either of them. Let's be committed, as my wife is, to be more proactive in our expressions of love.
