Love meets each of us, just where we are. Love does give us the opportunity to be useful, but not by our own power - as a reflection of Love's care for creation, buoyed and humbled by Love's energy. Sometimes, Love asks that we let go of the story of ourselves as a responsible caretaker and accept care from others.
