Click for audio: The Love Connection
Entering the month of February, our thoughts turn to valentines, romance, chocolate and all the other culturally and commercially prompted things we associate with love. From a spiritual point of view, we may raise our thoughts to God as our loving Creator/Sustainer and find strength in affirming we are guided and protected by God’s perfect love.
I refer often to what I consider the four fundamentals of God. These are life, love, power and intelligence. While we see these qualities expressed at all levels of the natural world, love, as a creative force, may seem the canadian viagra online tablets least apparent. Viewing it from a spiritual point of view, however, we see love as a major force in the creative process.
Think of love as a twofold activity. On one hand, love dissolves everything that stands in the way of your highest good. On the other hand, it draws that which is for your highest good. The important thing to realize here is that the thing we desire may not be for our highest good at all. What may seem good for the self-image may not be the best thing for the soul’s further expression. The self-image is generally in the business of protecting some weakness while the soul naturally expresses its strength.
Love has a strong association with understanding. When we affirm that divine love guides us, we do it from the understanding that love is dissolving every hindrance to our soul’s expression and drawing to us the needed opportunities for the soul’s greater expression. We are to release our preconceived notions and Continue Reading affirm Thy will not mine is being done. The mine we are referring to here is the self-image. Things may appear to take a turn for the worst, but we hold to the higher truth that the way is being cleared for a greater good than that which we imagined. We may experience disappointment at the level of our self-image, but we hold fast that an even greater good is now unfolding. We call upon our steadfast faith in God to carry us successfully into the next phase of our experience.
There is a Proverb that says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (14:12). As we affirm love as the guiding power in our life, let us be willing to let go of what seems right and hold to what is right. Love is establishing that which is for our highest good, right now.
