You're a Gift Box

Whenever I receive a gift, guessing what the box contains brings so much excitement.

Simply looking would never suffice because the wrapping is never foretelling of the content of the box.

I can hold and shake the box to see if it clicks, ticks or cracks but the only way to find out what it contains is to open it.

Tearing a beautifully wrapped box may seem irreverent but it's the only way to see its contents!

I realized that the same holds true for people. To know a person better requires commitment to go beyond the physical and necessitates a certain degree of bravery and faith to get to the soul of a person.

Whether I like what's inside or not, or whether the "box" contains anything at all, the thrill of knowing the person...the being within the body is always worth the effort!
