LOVE AS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE

Love is the way. The only medium through which we connect in awareness with God and each other is love. An appliance may be connected to the source of electricity by a cord but unless the connection is opened by a throwing of the switch, no current flows and the purpose for which the appliance was created is not fulfilled. Love is the current and all we have to do is open up to it to fulfill our purpose.

Love is the truth. We can choose to live as though it is not. We can believe the lies we hear and have heard since our human birth that the truth is that no one cares, no one can truly love, and that some people are not worthy of love. Love is the only thing that is real but anytime a person chooses to believe otherwise, then his or her experience will be that it is not. If we choose to believe that love is the truth and live this truth, everything else, everything else falls into place, falls into order, and makes sense. Otherwise we go around without hope scratching our heads and lamenting about the chaos and disorder that is rampant in the world. I believe that love is the only thing keeping this world from totally blowing up in our face. It is the antidote to the warring, the hatred, the abuses, and the horror that is displayed every day in the media.

Love is the life. Love is what brought us here. Love is what sustains us. Love is what powers us and empowers us. Love is each breath we take. Love is all there is. Love is what we are living or not living according to our faith or belief. Love is our purpose and to the degree to which we allow that purpose to flow into and through our lives, have we lived, truly lived.

Foreigner recorded a song in 1984 called I Wanna Know Where Love Is. If love is the way, the truth, and the life, then the only question we might want to ask is “Where is love?” We can start with that.

The way. The truth. The life. Find it. Live it.
