Your love bank is similar to your bank account for money.
When you put money into an account, it collects interest and as minimal as that might be, it's still an investment. The more money you contribute, the more dividends you receive.
What happens if you continue to take money out? Your account becomes depleted, and before you know it, you are paying overdraft fees, or you have to close your account.
Let's imagine you open a love account; the principal of adding to, or taking aay from, are no different than your money account.
Say you are the type of person that gives all the time; maybe you are offering your time, your money, your love, or a variation of all three.
There's no doubt that giving is one of the greatest joys you can receive, but if you are giving with a gain or recognition mind-set that your ego thrives on, then it will expect something in return. Before you know it your love banks will become depleted and perhaps you will be paying in one way or another.
Are you really adding to or filling your love bank, or is the credit and attention you're getting filling you?
Perhaps you are in a relationship and things have become less than loving, or the partnership you were in ended, or you have given up on love all together. Then your love account may be shut down temporarily, or closed out.
Love is the best investment you can make. The question is, are you contributing regularly to it and reaping the benefits? Or, are you withdrawing from it and becoming resentful and more stressed or anxious?
You are an expression of love from the largest love bank there is. Read this again. Let these words sink in and fill your personal love account.
Ask yourself, "How am I contributing from God's/Universal love bank, to my love banks?" Before you can figure out if and how you are giving to these, you need to know what they are. Your love banks are you, a partner, children, family, friends, pets, a job, home, strangers, bank accounts, nature, the community and the world you live in.
Many individuals contribute on some level to the people in their lives, but they forget that there are other things to appreciate and participate in.
Also, they may overlook themselves or don't feel that they are worth the investment. Wrong. Without loving and taking care of you, you might find you are looking for something or someone to fill the emptiness or love you feel you're missing.
When you open a new love account, so to speak, or give to your existing ones, you need to check in and see how you are maintaining and adding to them. Or are you taking away from or draining them?
Make a list of all the love banks in your life and don't forget you are one of them. Then list the ways you are making devotion deposits to them. Or are you?
Are you with-holding love or care with any of them? If so, why?
If you acknowledge that you are an extension of the "Big Love Bank", then you are a representation of this and are being encouraged to be the best investment you can be in all your relationships - you, nature, people, places, and things.
