Love's Unlimited Power

Kindness always wins over hatred.
Light dispels the dark and darkness can't take over light.
Joy always wins over sadness.
Courage always overcomes fear.
Compassion always resonates at a higher frequency than judgment.

In the end, love prevails, no matter what. There is no other ending. The dark is always eliminated by the night, despite the havoc it might wreak before we actually remember to turn it on, and love is the same way. All the things that fear, hate, greed, judgment and anger create are eliminated when we remember to turn the love on.

How?

Love happens when we stop trying to manipulate a situation to a specific ending of our own creation or liking and we begin to accept that what is, is perfect. Nothing has to be the way we want it to be, but we do have to get to the place of being able to accept that.

Love happens when we consciously use it to drop the fear. Instead of our usual response, say, judgment or criticism, or the desire to be right, we can step back instead and recognize that love is stronger. In a loved one, we might say to ourselves, "You're right, I'm wrong, please forgive me, I love you." This takes away the need to be "right" and opens up a flow of love that is so much more conducive to resolve.

Love happens when we can find a way to relate the current situation to gratitude. Recognizing and understanding that there is a Higher Power at work in our lives is a great way to start the process of gratitude. Start listing everything that you have to be grateful for, one by one, on and on, and you will remember that this Higher Power, God, the Universe or however you call it, is at work to your benefit. In that moment you can recognize that although it may not be clear now, undoubtedly a blessing is at the root.

This internal movement of consciousness is what opens us up to being able to accept those blessings. Maybe life is supposed to look different than we think it should. When we hold on too tight, when we believe we are in control, we can lose the opportunity to gracefully transition into what is right for us.

These times - wow - they seem to be getting more and more intense. Everywhere I look and everyone I speak with says the same thing. But we makes things much, much harder by moving into fear mode. Fear = reaction = blocking love. When we can consciously love what is, we unblock love's unlimited power. That is where grace resides, that is where kindness, compassion, courage and joy are at home; and home really is where the heart is.

Blessings.
