Spirit (God) wants to express His true form through YOU. This true form is love. And this love lives in everyone.
We’ve all had glimpses of this love. We’ve seen it in another’s act of kindness. We’ve heard it in the music created for our joy. We’ve seen it and we’ve heard it in the beautiful sights and sounds of nature. We have witnessed this love in the compassionate words given to those in need.
This pure Love, lives in each of us, patiently waiting for us to take notice of it and to be allowed to manifest through us. We must take the steps necessary to manifest it.
What are these steps?
These steps start with self love. It is difficult to manifest the pure love from within, if we do not love the greatest gift given to us. The gift of who we are. The gift of the beauty and magnificence of our being. And the gift of the power of love, living in each of us.
To speak ill of oneself, is to speak ill of our Creator. For we are Him and He is us. He sees us as the perfection of His love. If you are not loving yourself, many things can manifest from this mis-creation of thought. This makes it impossible to love as God loves. Unconditionally. For this is where feelings that you are not enough can step in. This is where illness can step in. This is where feeling judged or judging another can step in. This is where coveting what another has can step in. This is where discontent lives.
It is up to each of us individually to look within and accept ourselves as we are. Then we must look without, at all there is, and allow the understanding that God lives in all, offering, through you, this love.
This is the ultimate goal. For this is what lives at the core of each of us. God. Heaven lives in us. Heaven is on earth in a billion different places. Heaven is recognizable. Heaven is attainable. Heaven is the gift given through love. Heaven lives in everything created by God.
Once you have allowed self love to grow. Once you can acknowledge this way of being. Once you have allowed this unconditional love to shine from within, outward for others to see, for others to feel, you will have accomplished what many ask for. For you will have peace in your world. And once offered to another, this peace will grow in those you have touched. Even if you cannot see it, the seed has been planted.
Heaven is a state of mind. Give yourself quiet moments everyday to feel this heaven through gratitude for who you are, gratitude for what you have learned through the lessons of life. Allow yourself the blessings of acknowledgment and grace. Claim, I love who I am. Look in the mirror and into your eyes. Feel deep gratitude. Allow the love, the pride living within you to come to life, if even for just a moment. As days go by make the moments last longer, until you can look in the mirror and love yourself without judgement. When you can do this, you are on the path to the unconditional love living within. Let it grow. Let it show and know.
