From that passing thought, a flash: Others is not just other people...not just learning to give over to other people. Others includes other people but, in fact, others is an Other way of thinking, feeling, doing, being...and loving that, those and them.
There. That's moving on up.
A side stream we know naught of until we experience it spiritually: Our primary lesson in life is learning to respond with love, not react in fear, to all those others.
Our day-to-day life is all about growing our realization of love...love is active, as current as our breathing. Love is forgiveness...love is nonresistance... also active, as current as our breathing.
Love always flows outward from our inner spring of love.
Love is.
All of that being true...blinding flash...our life's lesson becomes learning to love the unlovable.
It takes no time and less effort to learn to love the diamonds, the incoming dollars, the friends who want to believe we walk on water. Ah, but actively loving the rhinestones, the dollars owed, the people who know, and say so, that we don't walk on water? We're talking loving the unlovable for sure.
Face it, to seek to love the unlovable is not of us. It is of God in all the holy names of God...nothing else can lift our heart, soul, body and brains there.
Since our only hope of Heaven is loving all...the haves and the have nots, the beauties and the beasts...get grateful for there is God's opened hand. There for us to grasp and lift us up.
Thank you.
As an aside, we're getting two posts today. I neglected to post yesterday...wrote it, got it all set, interrupted myself for whatever reason and found it unpublished this morning. Started running my litany of regrets and cut myself short because it may have been God who interrupted me yesterday...thank you. There's a better chance I simply forgot...thank you.
