The Power of Love
Consider the ideas presented in Sunday’s message (or listen to it here).
Concepts to Consider
On Sunday we continued our month’s “official” focus on Love, and what we considered was the Power of Love that is both a Gentle Presence and the Sovereign Entity; God as the One and Only Power in the Universe, the Power that literally makes “the world go round.” We acknowledged the Power of Love as ever present, as right where we are as the very Life within us. And, we spoke of this as the Only Power that can truly heal our mind and body, bring peace and harmony to our relationships, and inspire grace and beauty in all that we do.
We asked the question: If the Power of Love transcends all differences, and if Power of Love is available to us always, why do we not call upon It to help us transcend our human differences? We considered that when we believe that there is more than one Power in world, that God is not the Only Creative Power, it is not only easy for us to believe that life is divided into irreconcilable differences, disjointed contradictions, and pairs of opposites, such as love and hate, friends and enemies, and joy and sorrow, but to see them as having equal reality.
Consider the many ways that you define the meaning of life through “pairs of opposites.” You might do this by making a list or by simply journaling your thoughts. Now take a look at what you’ve written. Even though our focus may be the “positive side” of pairs of opposites, such as our “trying” to focus on health so that we won’t get sick or “trying” to focus on prosperity so that we won’t continue to experience lack—it is important for us to realize that “taking sides” doesn’t bring about a spiritual solution.
The Power of Love is the very Power of God that has no opposition. That Power is at the very center of our being. Spiritual healing of seeming human conditions comes with the awareness that we are not seeking “power over” any condition, but rather we are looking within to experience our True Self that exists in unopposed perfection. A Course in Miracles tells us,
“Only love is strong because it is undivided.”
Meditation: Sit quietly with your eyes closed…breathe slowly, in and out…as you allow your thoughts to become as still as possible without effort (allow as much time as needed)…with every breath feel your inner awareness opening to a deeper…freer…more peaceful sense of being…to a greater experience of the Love and the very center of your being…the Only Love…that Is…the Love that you are…you are created by Love…powered by Love…and empowered by loving…there is no power on earth that can prevent you from loving…and no Power in Heaven that would Will that anything for you but Love…there is no one on earth that you cannot love…because the Love at the center of your being is already loving the whole world…are you willing to allow That Love…to love the world through you…as you?…this is the path to discovering your Spiritual Self…the magnitude of the Love that you are…let Love’s Power to love everyone dissolve any fear of loving…
When you are complete with the meditation above, you may want to journal any thoughts that may have come to mind, or journal about feelings that may have arisen.
This week: Before you get out of bed, remind yourself that you live in the “Heart of God” and give thanks for “another day of loving.” And, then throughout the day, as you interact with others—remember that the love you extend in every thought, word, and action gives meaning to all that you do, and without which, nothing you do has meaning.
