The greatest love of all

We live our lives in pursuit of love. Sometimes we choose to pursue love of money, ambition, a committed relationship, friends, or of our families. I would imagine that if we are all really honest with ourselves we would realize that most of our time is focused on these outward goals in pursuit of these things that we believe will bring us the love and happiness that we are seeking.

I have spent much of my time and energy in pursuit of love from others and from possessions. At the surface of my being is, in those moments, that I need to earn love and do not already possess that love. At the core of my being is the truth of awakening to love of self. What is important to note here is that it is my perception, my judgments, that have led me in the pursuit of these false ideals. To judge that our friends and family do not love us is a perception but is not truth. They love us perfectly, but we do not perceive all that is involved with the contracts of each of our relationships. If a relationship feels what we would judge as bad, we perceive that we do not have love. The real truth is that they love much more than we can even imagine, in the best way that they know how. (Note: sometimes we need to learn to forgive and forgiveness is ALWAYS for ourselves and our own spirit). What we learn is that they are here to challenge us to love ourselves.

When we encounter something that does not resonate with us (makes us feel unhappy or unloved) it is because we are not in the space of our true self and in our truth of being our spirit of pure love. These feelings that challenge us to seek love are to awaken us to loving ourselves. Every experience is for our greatest highest good. Our thoughts, hearts and intentions (will) can awaken us to the greatest love of all, the courage and power of loving who we are, a child of God. We each are pure love. We are here to embrace, experience and become the fullness of what that really is., If everyone you know loves you but you do not love yourself are you really happy? We learn and experience life in many ways. Be open and be loving to see each and every emotion, fear, pain and challenge as an opportunity for growth and love. I am reminded of the popular song sung by Whitney Houston, a beautifully delivered tribute to loving ourselves, for who we are, "The Greatest Love of All".

Infinite Love & Gratitude!
