Our Universal Desire – Longing for Love
I believe that the fundamental, intrinsic, and universal desire of a human heart is to be loved and to love; in this way we are well and whole. As such, it is to claim within oneself the image of love and by allowing that love to overflow unto others. When we do so, our lives become align and we are in harmony with ourselves and the universe, thus flowing from this love is joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness.
Although in many ways, we are wounded beings and have been hurt in one way or another. And in this pain or knots in our lives, be it from violence, disasters, discord in our family, knots of drugs and alcoholism, loneliness, sickness, grief, or just feeling stuck, etc. - are the knots that suffocate us and prevent us from living our life to the fullest, our best self. From these wounds, we have attached within the deep recesses of our hearts various beliefs that suffocate the image of love within us, these beliefs may be so loud and so persistent that it may be easy to believe them - "I am inadequate, I am a failure, It’s not OK to feel or show emotions, I am too damaged to be loved, I don’t like myself, I am useless, I have no value or worth, I’m not good enough, I am stupid, I am shameful, I don’t deserve love." When the image of love is stiffed in us by these beliefs, we are not able to live in harmony with ourselves and others.
But be not afraid and take courage, for there is hope because the image of love remains in you. And with that, I believe that the restless longing within you is a longing for love, to journey home to the love that’s within.
Be-Awaken
Be awaken to the unique pains and wounds that you carry; how they have impact your life and others.
Be awaken to the negative self-talk and painful emotions that stifled your reality and keep you stuck in fear.
Be awaken to how you have protected yourself from what is unbearable, vulnerable, and inner pain by ways of self-harming, people-pleasing, perfecting, addictions, and lashing out, etc.
Be awaken to the choices that are hindering you from becoming your best self.
Be-Renewed
Be renewed to claim the image of love within you; claiming your unique pain and wound as having unique purpose and meaning.
Be renewed to claim the boundless value and worth of who you are; vulnerable and at the same time loved.
Be renewed to claim that you are not loved less by your mistakes and vulnerabilities or loved more for your achievements and successes; rather you are loved for just the way you are!
Be renewed to claim the image of love within you with kindness, patience, and goodness to yourself and others.
Be-Alive
Be alive to live in goodness and service, being kind in your thoughts and intentions toward yourself and others.
Be alive to live in deep respect toward the image of love within you and others.
Be alive to live with purpose and meaning, embracing pain and suffering as pathways to peace and service.
Be alive to choose daily acts of kindness, love and truth; allowing the image of love in you to flow unto others.
BE WELL!
