What are four letters that can change a life so deeply? It’s LOVE. The world swims in the pool of love. We love hearing love stories, watching love movies, and singing along to our favorite love song. Let’s examine love for a moment. What does the face of love look like? How does love feel? Do you scratch for love in your life or does it flow to you like an endless river? Go ahead, and pause reading this for a moment and think about your view on love; we’ll resume when you’re done.
Welcome back. Love cannot be placed in a box. Love flows like a sweet intoxicating perfume. Have you ever had a person walk by and their scent brushes your senses and you can’t help but think, “What is that yummy scent?” Love works in the same manner, but love is the most magical powerful potion.
Love really begins with the personal relationship that is between you and God. That is where I recommend your love journey to begin. Yes, love is a journey, as is your whole life. The bible teaches us about love in Corinthians. Review those scriptures everyday to really get those love words rooted in you.
You have two parts to you. You have the ‘real’ you and then you have the ‘ego’ you. The ego is an ugly thing to control, but there’s hope, because the real you can control that ego. The ego can think that you’re better, faster, smarter, and prettier, than anyone it comes across. The ego likes to think it’s always right and it’s always trying to prove. The ego is cocky. Have you had anyone sport that ego perfume? It stinks and you can’t wait to get away from that scent, right??? We all have an ego, but the real us is bigger and better than the ego; and that’s not my ego talking.
First, think about what you’re thinking about. Do you speak kindly to yourself? Do you forgive yourself as well as others? Are you accepting of yourself, flaws and all? If your answers were yes, congratulations; you’re on the right road. If you answered no, then now is the perfect opportunity to start. Get quite with God everyday and start talking to yourself. Talk to myself? Yes! Say what God says about you. Remind yourself that you are Gods child and think on how much he loves you. Say out loud, “I am loved. God loves me.” Say it 100 times a day if you have to. Have that quite time with you and God. Real love will start a reaction in you that will heal any situation. God’s words will make you feel beautiful, respected, and valuable. What does the face of love look like? Look in the mirror. How does love feel? Accepted and enough. And, love will never make you scratch for it, for it is that endless river that never dries up.
When you get real love rooted in you, it will supernaturally pour from your pores and when you walk in a room, everyone will wonder what’s different about you; they’ll be drawn to you and show you the same respect you’ve been giving yourself.
Sniff. Sniff. You smell good already!
