We use the word ‘love’ many times a day, and in so many different ways that it becomes baffling. Lots of people consider the two words of Sex and Love, to be synonymous, but they are far from being so.
First of all, we should realize that the word Love is not primarily a Noun, but a Verb . And a verb is a word of action, and action, once put into motion, continues in motion. It’s a natural Law. Recognized as such, the more Love we use and send along to others, the more love comes back to continue being used.
The supply is endless, and the wise ones tell us that first, we must learn to love ourselves. To make it our own inner joy, and then silently send it along to others making us more joyous. Some of the easy rules follow.
Love yourself and therefore:
Take loving care of your body, feeding it nourishing foods and beverages. Groom and dress it with love, and watch your body respond by giving you health and energy.
Love yourself and therefore:
Your home will comfortably fill your every need and be a joy to live within. The rooms will be filled with love’s vibration so that all who enter, yourself included, will feel and be nourished by it.
Love yourself and therefore:
You will enjoy your work for, no matter what it is, it will use your creative talents and abilities, and allow you to know and communicate lovingly with those who become part of your life.
Love yourself and therefore;
Your every need is met and often will come into your life before you are aware such a need was approaching. The Source is all-knowing and, if you but allow, the way is prepared before you.
The Bible says: “He goeth before, and prepareth the way”. .
Love yourself and therefore:
Think in a loving way toward all people, for we know that whatever we give, (love or its opposite), returns to us multiplied over and over, filling our world, and mirroring exactly what we sent out.
Love yourself and therefore:
Forgive and totally release all past experiences which, at the time, you worried about, resented, yet clung to. Only with utter, loving, forgiveness, can you be free.
Love yourself and therefore:
Live in the Now. Experience each moment as good, and know that your future is joyous and secure. Everyone is a child of the Source and that Source lovingly cares for us, now and forever, the same way you, as loving parents, care for your children.
Love yourself and therefore:
You will discover you can love all others. Including the many in this world whose deeds you cannot love, because The Source teaches us to love the do-er, not the deed.
True Agape love is the only way to end the violent and dangerous actions that we see or read about in the media news each day. Love is the only answer to wars, street crimes, home disagreements, violence, greedy political debates, and arguments of all kinds.
Love yourself and therefore;
Silently send love to all people, no matter what creed or color, and if right next door or the other side of the world. Silent love is the only action that will someday change the world, but the action must begin, and continue to live, within each of us.
Learn to respect, accept and love your own worth. Then, no matter where you are or who you are with, don’t wait or say a word, but silently start sending love. Right then. You are the only one, from the special spot where you abide, who can set in motion Love’s eternal action.
I found these words several years ago in some book or magazine. Liked them, saved them, altered or added here or there, and now pass them along to you. And I choose, when I read the name the author has called The Source, to murmur the name of God because He is the ultimate Source of All. (Anon.)
Agape: how difficult it would be to love or even teach love to the gangs of Syrian youth changing thru towns in Syrian neighborhoods, they don’t love themselves.
How frustrating it is to try to,talk to blacks in Detroit to get themselves off their murderous desires to Kill The Whites!
The Balm of Gilead is so very rare in our day, real or imagined offenses, that even the most well meant is evaporated before it can do any good.
Please use some of mine.
That is so wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Love Kathy…
