Unconditional Love


Gratitude: For Unconditional Love

Love! It's about love. When the focus is on loving, the pain goes away! How can we know this one moment and forget it the next? The message is to give unconditional love. Not to seek honor, acceptance and love, but to release, let go, and give love - even to those we deem unworthy of our love. To come out of our protective shell - transparent and vulnerable - and love. Paradoxically, standing up, open to the world, delivers freedom from pain and suffering rather than defeat. Stepping forward in love shall bear witness to the truth, and we are validated in the truth. Love conquors all in this world and the next.

When our whole energy is squandered on protection and defense, there is nothing left for real living and loving. All that then exists is the dedication to the avoidance and escape from pain. What a miserable existence. We accept the role of victim in our pain, and blame the wold for our pain and rejection. And then there is the confusion and puzzlement because we strove so earnestly to work hard, be perfect, gain approval and win. Why then do we end up in pain? Because it doesn't work. The focus has been on surviving - not loving!

And if my heart is open and filled with love - that higher finer unconditional love - then I have my heart's desire. I have what I desire most in all the world. It is granted in that very moment when peace resides in heart and soul. There was no desperate striving, no struggle to achieve this miraculous gift, it is bestowed freely with grace. I am amazed at the simplicity of it, the lack of effort. I am filled with gratitude and wonder. In this moment I am exactly where I want to be! Putting all cares aside, letting go to dwell in peace and harmony.
