Dear friends,
What could love do for you today? Perhaps a release of old pain and resentments? Could it restore your faith inhumanity? How about self respect and a change of habits? If you desperately want to stop abusive drinking or smoking, would love be a factor in your decision to seek help? What kind of love are we speaking about here? Love in its true power is not about romance; that is the least of it. It is an energy that restores wholeness where there appears to be brokenness.
Love seems to cause us pain when it is withdrawn by another. Yet it remains within us, available to us whether we are alone or in a relationship. Love is not something that is given to us. It is generated from within our very own soul. Self Love is the starting point, the first use of Love. From there it extends out into the world attracting and affecting a response. When we see it as the most powerful energy in the universe, we might have more respect for what we can generate.
Ernest Holmes called love a “cohesive energy” that “brings things together what belongs together” and “maintains it in harmony” (as long as Love is active and present.) We all know what happens to friendship, romance, business, anything really, when Love is withdrawn. Those things tend to unravel and fall apart. Love must be present to maintain harmony in every situation. On this Valentine’s Day the question remains: What could I do with Love today?
Stay tuned in,
