Love is the Link

Love is the link God gives us with His eternal Self.

We talk about love – I talk about it all the time, although no, I haven’t always practiced it nor have I always acted out of it, yet I know it to be true.  I’ve been loved many times in my life even when I didn’t deserve it – in man’s eyes for sure.  But in His eyes we’re always loved, and yes, we’re always to love.  For yes,  we’re called to be imitators of love Himself  and He is love.

So yes, if we’re going to be as He wants us to be, and yes, as hard as it may be at times, we simply have to move past the hurt, past the pain, and yes,  even past the disappointment that others bring into our lives.   We’ve all been shown so much grace along our journey – not just once but over and over again.  We’ve all done and acted out in the same way,  time after time.

Those habitual habits – whether it be drugs, alcohol, anger issues, mental issues, or yes, that old “self -righteousness” we carry so proudly.  They’re all simply a problem that needs a little love, and yes, that needs a little forgiveness to overcome. 

This means whether it be directed at someone else, or yes, even at ourselves.

When we don’t love each other and we don’t love ourselves through the pain and the sorrows of life, we simply aren’t doing what we know we need to do.  At times it can be hard.  I’ve had to personally forgive, while yes, even loving those who’ve hurt me deeply.  I’ve had to learn to love myself, and yes, I’ve had to do it all – in spite of and not because of, and yes, I can personally attest that when we do this, in the end our lives will be better for it.

It’s when we finally “get it” that we can see things from a different view.  We see all sides, and yes,  we’re able to sympathize and empathize – for now we truly understand the difference between the two, for yes, love is the link God gives us with His eternal Self. 

So yes, with this new day we’ve been given, let’s get up get out, and yes,  share a little love.

We are loved by love Himself.  He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes .. love wins period
