LOVE

By Emmet Fox

LOVE is by far the most important thing of all. It is the Golden Gate of Paradise. Pray for the understanding of love, and meditate upon it daily. It casts out fear. It is the fulfilling of the Law. It covers a multitude of sins. Love is absolutely invincible.

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem.

It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake; a sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.

"God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him."

My LOVE Mission

The other night, I had an epiphane. In a moment of absolute frustration, I forced myself to remember that EVERY moment is a gift, an opportunity. SO. I took some deep breaths and decided to write down what I wanted to manifest next year. My list was looking very materialistic, but I realized its not about the stuff, its about improving the quality of my life. Do I NEED to drive a black Mercedes Benz E350? No....but it will happen because I sure would LOOOOOVE to drive one!

Then I remembered a story my dear friend (whom I will call H&M) told me. She's an artist, and decided to study light for an entire year. That took her on a journey where she discovered bodywork, became a Reiki Master and a massage therapist. This was powerful stuff!

So taking her lead.... I decided I will spend this year studying LOVE. Sounds a bit silly, maybe even trite. But if you really think about all that could mean...its pretty major. I will spend this year falling in LOVE with myself, with my career, with the relationships and people I surround myself with. I won't eat something unless I LOVE it, which should help my waistline significantly! No more mediocre!

My friend E's dad imparted these words of wisdom when talking about relationships, "If it ain't magic, it ain't shit!" I dare say that's true across the board, not just in relationships. Secretly, I love that this compelling and inspiring message uses the word "ain't". LOL

I'm already experiencing huge changes from my LOVE mission. Things have already begun to shift, and even though I'm a little nervous about whats ahead, you can't go wrong on the path of LOVE.
