Imagine
you are hanging in the middle of a totally white and empty room. How long would
you exist? You are still you, but you cannot understand yourself without any
reference. Without any existence around, you are nothing.
If there
were a dot on the wall, you would be able to identify your own existence.
First, there is the idea of “here” and “there.” Also, there is “smaller” and
“bigger;” “far” and “near.” We get to understand ourselves through our
relationships. It’s not just from relation to our physical worlds, but also
from human relationships.
Relationship
is the only way to experience who we are. From there, we experience, declare,
proclaim, express, and complete our true self. Once you understand this, you
will look at relationships differently. It’s not about what to get, but what to
give.
Where can
we empower? Where can we encourage? Where can we bless? What can we create?
What can we offer? We shine lights to see what’s in others and ourselves. We
cannot do this alone. We came here for each other!
What True Love Is
Have you
been around those with true love? They see who you really are and give yourself
back to you. They are not looking to get anything from you, but to give
everything to you, without asking for anything in return. By giving
unconditional love, they experience it.
However,
it doesn’t mean that these people would stay in an unhealthy relationship. They
do respect themselves, as they do others. True love always helps others to be
mature and independent. They are looking for win-wins. They understand staying
in an unhealthy relationship is not helpful to anyone.
The
relationship of true love is always without obligations. In true love, there is
only liberty. Love and liberty are of the same source. Love always respects
free will. We can always love others, even at the point of going different
directions. We can be honest without blaming or pointing out faults. This kind
of relationship can actually be full of love and long lasting. There is no
longer any condition or any limitation.
Be Love
The good
news is that Love is within you. Love Himself creates you in His image and
likeness. You are Love already. You just have to remember it. Decide that you
are Love, and love accordingly. You always have a choice to be who you really
are. As soon as you decide – you are!
When you
choose to be love, you will not be seeking Love outside. You will become the
source of Love, which you have always been looking for. You adore, appreciate
and accept others for who they are. You become dependable, trustworthy, and
kind. And, you finally find that someone you have always been looking for –
your true self. Once you were lost, but now you are found.
You will
always be ‘in Love.’ Your satisfaction will depend only on you. You will
discover there are many desirable qualities God has created in you. You’ll
learn to really appreciate the greatest gift God has granted – Himself to you.
You will
not look to get, because you will realize your cup is already running over. You
have more than enough Love to share. And this living water within you never
runs out. You’ll enjoy those in your life, but you won’t depend on anyone to
satisfy you. And certainly you will
never pull yourself away again for any reasons. If someone chooses to walk
away, Love will simply respect their freewill and let them go.
There is
only one deal: You are Love. The deal will always be on, because you always
will be. You love because it reflects yourself, the Godliness created in you.
You experience Love by giving yourself unconditionally. “Greater Love has none
than this that a man gives up his life for his friend.”
God’s True Love To You
Seeing
through the eyes of Love, you have a clearer perspective about God’s love to
you. God doesn’t need to seek Love from outside. He is Love. From Love Himself,
He adores, appreciates, and accepts you for who you are. He is dependable,
trustworthy, and kind. He is always in Love and satisfied. His contentment does
not depend on anything or anyone because He is All-Sufficient within Himself.
He is not
looking to get anything from you because His cup is always running over. He has
more than enough Love to share. And this living water within Him never runs
out. He enjoys those who desire to stay near. However, He doesn’t depend on
anyone to satisfy Him. He will not change His nature for any reason. If someone
chooses to walk away, He’ll simply respect their freewill and let them go.
