Opportunities to Love

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing." ~ I Corinthians 13: 1-3

Walking in love is not an easy sojourn and it is not meant to be. As human beings in the earth plane, we are set apart on purpose from all other beings for "giving" and for "getting" love. 

"Not only do self love and love of others go hand in hand but ultimately, they are indistinguishable." 
~ M. Scott Peck

We are soldiers enlisted by the Creator in a love war and each day we are afforded opportunities to wield a two edged sword. One side pierces through us, the other through the person or circumstance we are called to demonstrate love toward. Each sacred wound provides a place for the Light to enter. It is into these cracks the healing oil of divine compassion can be poured.

Walking in love is not weakness and does not diminish us as individuals, it increases our strength and empowers our humanity. As we begin each week anew, let us open our eyes and hearts to allow love to bloom through our lives into the universal community of humankind like never before. 

In the approaching season of peace and giving embrace the occasions to extend love and compassion to others. Expressing hatred toward self or a fellow traveler in word or deed is resistance to the Creator's command that we learn to love as He does. And why would we choose to live in resistance to our purpose?

"One love, one heart, one destiny." ~ Bob Marley

What conditions have you placed on extending love to others?
Are you willing to embrace the Creator's commandment that we love fully in your daily life?
"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." 
~ The Dalai Lama
