Blinding flash of the obvious: There are no mixed messages when our only message is love.
In my quiet time, the thought came that we only need to respond with love, and I decided to try it...to be open to only responding with love. Since God the Father is love, and the Father and I are one...I have nothing but love to give. Clearly, there's a need to be super vigilant...the ever-present egoic mind will do our thinking ever chance it gets.
Comes now the hard slog. Since I no longer actively resist my reasoning mind, I let myself get to work digging into what exactly love means to me today. Long ago, I thought, rethought and analyzed love, and I know from my own experience that love does not mean giving or getting feelings of sweet, kind, considerate and loveable 100% of the time. Love can feel like a 2 x 4 to the head or the sweet comfort of grace...depending on our spiritual condition.
I go to God for God. When he chooses, he will clarify within me how to respond with love to my most recent resistant thought(s).
