LOVE IS ALL THERE IS
Love is all there is and it is Divine.
The only time love is shut off from us is when we resist it.
Sometimes we just don't open to it because we don't recognize the form it in which it is appearing. We have our ideas of what looks like, feels like, acts like and so we sweep away love that doesn't fit that mold.
Sometimes we just are afraid of being hurt to reach out and completely give ourselves to it. I am not talking about just romantic love. I am talking about love in any relationship. We can feel pain in so many ways and none of us likes that. What if I get rejected at some point? What if I really give myself over to love and this person dies? What then? What if I surrender and then they use me or turn on me or demand things of me I can't or won't want to do?
What if I am made a fool of? What if they leave me?
These are some of the modes of resistance that we use to keep love at a safe distance. And then we wonder why we are starving to death for love.
So, we may try to love but we hold back some. We don't give all. We try to control them and try to control us so that things don't get uncomfortable. If we can just make our neighbor, our friend, our family member, our lover or spouse or boss or co-worker do this or that or stop doing this or that, then I can give them love and receive love from them. Right! Ha!
To be love, to give love, to get love, surrender is required. Let go of the need to be "right". Let go of your fears. Be willing to feel the pain of separation. Be willing to love a person and allow that person to be what appears to be unloving at times because you know that they are resisting love. They are protecting themselves from hurt. They are afraid. They are holding back. They do not yet know that what they want is to love and to be loved or they know that but don’t know how. Even the need for them to be “right” is born of their fear and/or their ignorance yet of love.
We all want and need to love and be connected. What causes people to be caustic or hateful or controlling or manipulative or any of those things we try to shield ourselves against is their not yet being able to surrender completely to love.
That's all it takes. Once you surrender to love, love is yours forever and it will change you. It will change the world you see. There will be so much love at your doorstep you wonder how in the heck you missed it before.
What you have inside will draw to you like things. And those situations and people that are not quite as open and loving as you are may find their way to you because they are looking for love. When you are steadfast in divine love, you can be instrumental in being providing just the perfect and safe place for them to surrender to it as well.
Contrary to exaggerated rumors that the state of things is otherwise; love IS all there is. Scoop it up. Invite it in. Surrender one hundred percent to it. Stop resisting. Be willing to feel. Be willing to give. Be willing to receive. There is more than enough to go around.
