All You Need Is Love

Why bother with all this spiritual work?  It’s all they talk about around here!  I mean, really, what do we get out of it, except less time to watch CSI? 

Because we want to love ourselves.

I know you think you already do.  So did I, so I’d let myself stay up late watching movies even though I’d be overtired and grumpy the next day.  I thought I loved myself, so I would put up walls between myself and others so I didn’t have to bother myself with them much.  I thought I loved myself, so I would treat myself to that extra sugar in my diet.

We have to ask ourselves, are we loving ourselves, or protecting against something or someone?  Are we loving ourselves, or making excuses not to stick with the discipline that is meant to keep us healthy? 

Avoidance isn’t love, neither is indulgence.  Love is the energy that comes through us as we clear out our fears, resentments and false beliefs.  Love isn't so much an act as it is a vibration that becomes part of us as we do our spiritual processing and releasing.

So keep on forgiving.  Take time to journal your thoughts and feelings.  Make your daily meditation a priority.  Be aware of your inner self-talk and make sure it is kind and supportive.  Slowly but surely, you will make yourself more and more receptive to Divine Love moving through you, blessing yourself and spilling over as blessings for others.

All you need is love, the kind that comes from our healing and devotion to your soul evolution.
