Sitting in Love
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
Beginning on Saturday morning I began praying that God would help me be love in my little corner of the world. I did not pray that God would help me to act more loving toward others but that God would help me be love.
At some place inside my self as one designed and created in the image of Divine Love or God, I am love. I need to remind myself who I am. Perhaps that is where the trouble lies, I forget who and what I am as one of God’s creation. Anything that is counter to who I am takes my life. “Choose life.”
I want to live from a place of my deepest self where God finds space to breathe. I find that when I am focused on being centered in God that I am much less inclined to respond to folks with anger and frustration.
The reality is that I am responsible for not only my actions but also my feelings. I am not suggesting that I ignore my feelings or discount what is going on in my heart but I can also pay attention to what I choose to allow into my soul the same way I can choose what I allow into my stomach.
What I am putting into my heart and soul today?
Is it “pure spiritual food” that gives me life or is it the emotional and spiritual “environmental toxins” that cause me to live an unhealthy life?
I find when I breathe, pray and meditate that I am at one with that space inside that God lives and breathes. I am sitting in sacred space. I am sitting in Love.
This is true wherever I am.
I just need to be conscious of it.

I myself have found this to be true. I used to react to morning traffic. Not anymore. It's my morning worship time with some Jeremy Camp, or Mercy Me on the CD player. It's learning self control and feeding the inner man that increases our walk with God.
I also want to be love, which is very different from feeling love. To allow it to flow from me without pulling away, to be open and stay open to God's Being....
It's a gift from God, that. I wonder if there's any particular thing we need to do in our heart and mind to Welcome and Invite such a gift into us?
I am an unconditional expression of GOD's unconditional love and so are you. We were created in His image and the only thing that happened since then was satan told Eve that she wasn't, she believed the devil and ate the fruit. That messed up everything except God's wonderful plan to love us back out of that darkness. The solution is to not listen to the devil, but to God and you won't eat the fruit that causes a loss of life/love. Resist the devil, submit therefore unto God and the devil will flee from you. Actually Christ in you. God's good and perfect will for each one's life is for you to love and be loved and the best person I know to work on this with is the living God. God bless you all in your journey back to Love/God.
