Love, like rain, does not choose the grass on which it falls

“Love, like rain, does not choose the grass on which it falls.”

African proverb and quote.

“Love, like rain, does not choose the grass on which it falls.” Love appears unexpectedly, like rain from the sky. It does not discriminate. Love falls where it will, without our control. Love surprises us regardless of our wealth, age, or gender. We can not force or choose who we love. Love is a gift that finds us unexpectedly.

Rain nurtures grass, not only the most exquisite lawns. In a similar vein, love nurtures the hearts of everyone, not just a few. The benefit of love affects everyone equally. Love can shower down abundantly on the most humble person. The rain of pure love may quench the thirstiest. Love is generous to those who are willing to receive it.

We cannot control when or where love falls within us. Like grasses waiting for rain, we expect to be showered with love someday. Whether a wildflower or carefully cultivated, love has the power to alter any heart whenever it decides to arrive. Be patient and accepting; love will arrive when you least expect it.
