Traveling to different countries around the world requires preparation for the differences that you will encounter on your journey. The most noticeable thing is the different types of currency. In order to obtain the local currency, you need to exchange your currency at a rate that provides you with the equivalent rate to that local currency. That conversion rate factors in the value of your currency against that of the value of the currency that you are exchanging it for.
Depending on where you go, your currency will yield you a higher return against that local currency, affording you a greater return for what you have. In other places, the opposite holds true.
In those other places, the value of your currency will not yield you the type of return that you would Hope for, leaving you with less than as opposed to greater than.
In conclusion, the conversion rate is Greater Than in some places, and less than in other places. But in no point in time is your currency not valuable to you, it is just not "perceived" to be "as" valuable in the eyes of others.
In a comparable equation, what if we were to view the value of our "Love" and compare it to that of the value of Love in different environments, what would your conversion be equivalent to? If your Love was "measured," would it yield you a Greater Than favorable return or an unsavory less than return, that is strictly derived from the value of your Love, according to God's conversion barometer?
The value that you place on "your" Love should be able to cross ALL borders, irrespective of what you may or may not get in return.
Should you cross a border where your Love is Greater than the return that you would Hope for, perhaps it is your Love that needs to be demonstrative of why your Love's value should not and cannot be negotiated.
Likewise, should you cross a border and find that your Love is less than and not as valuable as it should be. Perhaps it is there, that you will come to the True understanding of the value of Love, thus compelling you to do something to change the type of Love that you wish to exchange, since the rate of return for the exchanger might not be worth their time and inevitable loss.
So, if your Love had to be rated before it was to ever be exchanged, how would it stack up against the "Love Conversion" of the Love of someone else, anywhere else in the world? Not just "your" environment, but ANY environment.
Would the person that is exchanging their Love for your Love yield a Greater than return or a less than return?
More importantly, would "you" want a Greater than return or would you be ok with and inclined to settle for less than, knowing that you are being cheated out of a Love that is immensely valuable?
In every instance of Love, we go in having expectations of the value of said Love. When that value does not meet our expectations, we decide not to cross that border in order to maintain its current worth, whatever we have deemed it to be. However and selfishly, there are people that would illegally cross that border with not an ounce of Love, and expect to receive Greater than their investment. Those short-term gains will work in the short-term, but it has nothing on the long-term ROI that reciprocity provides.
Stop cheating others in the process of benefitting yourself. That short-term is shorter than you think, and once your less than conversion exchange is realized, you will walk away unchanged in your "Love Conversion," bitter due to your expectations having not been met, and determined to do the same to someone else, as opposed to upping the value of your Love, by way of deciding to Love better, yielding even better results.
So, what does your "Love Conversion" say about you?
Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ. Love. Smile. Always!
