Is your heart open?
Are you ready to commit?
This is a relationship beyond all
others.
It is with you!
What is the concept of Divine Love
any way? Divine Love is looking at oneself & seeing the perfection that is
there. Perfect? What me? You say & laugh to yourself. Yes you. With your
perceived flaws & all. You know what I am talking about, you look at
yourself & say: “my nose is too big”, “I’m not the best communicator,” “I
am unable to do this or that”, “My life is not how I want it to be”... and the
list can go on & on if you let it. But do you really want to? No you say
with a sigh, almost half-heartedly, I know I
heard you, & I’ve been there myself.
When we focus on the things that
we believe that are wrong about ourselves, we then tend to block out the
aspects of us that we need to focus on. These are the things that make you
stand out. And no I’m not talking about a big nose here. These are the things
that others will often point out in us just when we need to see ourselves
differently. You know that time when someone a loved one or perhaps a stranger
commented on something positive about you. Perhaps you blew it off, not wanting
to come of as prideful or simply not believing it yourself.
Ok, I see that the wheels are
turning here. As you read this you can come up with a time or two, perhaps more
where this has happened. Then wait you smile. You see the purpose behind that
conversation no matter how short. It was to get you to see yourself
differently. To see yourself as you are meant to. You are a Divine spark of
source energy, a soul that is very beautiful in every way.
We are more than these bodies that
we inhabit on earth. We are so much more. We just have forgotten. We have
allowed ourselves to believe that we are nothing more than what we do, what we
learned from parents, school, society, & others who have influenced us in
some way.
Although we have learned many
positive things from the above-mentioned sources in our lives, we have also
learned other things, behaviors, and beliefs if you will that are not always in
alignment with whom we truly are.
As we identify these beliefs like
“You can’t do that”, or “We only do thing’s this way in this family”, etc, we
see that we can move past these to ones that are a better fit for us.
Now where does all this fit in
regards to Divine Love you ask? As we embrace the fact that we are not chained
to the past belief systems that we were taught we can begin to see ourselves
differently, and others differently as well.
That is Divine Love: seeing
yourself, as you truly are perfect in everyway. Does it happen overnight? No,
it takes time & patience.
Think about it this way the belief systems & thoughts that you have
about yourself now took time, they did not appear overnight, & they came
with a little help from others right? The most important thing to remember is
to be patient with yourself everyday whether you are working at changing how
you see yourself, or just going about your daily routine.
As you continue on your journey, step-by-step
you will see a new you, one whom you will be more comfortable with, perhaps one
that surpasses all your
expectations.
I wish you well on your journey.
