NO MIXED MESSAGES...ONLY LOVE

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).

Then the thought occurred that living in this world and trying to have nothing but a spiritual take on it may be a self-determined objective that God doesn't even know about. If so, that, too, God can clarify. I'm going with my BFO of love and see how far that gets me... or I get me.

BFO immediately following: Reasoning mind will always oppose spiritual mind. (Don't tell me God doesn't have my back.)

If it weren't for the likes of us, God wouldn't have any laughs at all. But love he is, love he will always have.

Thank you.
