To Love Truly Has the Power to Heal

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Love has the power to heal and transform the most wounded life.

It is in loving that we are most connected to the Divine.

It is in loving that illusion can fall from your eyes and truth can be revealed.

There are of course many different ways that love is felt and expressed. However, love is more than a feeling. This is part of what the adventure through life is undertaken to reveal.

Learning To Love

Learning to love and fully comprehending what it is to love is one of the most important and most profound lessons of life.

It is within this experience of love that the deepest healing takes place. It is within the lessons of love that the full richness of life is expressed and experienced.

Love comes in many different expressions and manifestations, and each and every one of them can be a challenge.

You might think that it is easiest to love yourself, yet for many people that is the most challenging of all. You might wonder why it is so hard to love yourself, but who knows more than you how many times and how many ways you have failed to love another. Who knows better than you, all of the selfish and self-serving things you do and more significantly the selfish and self-serving thoughts and judgments that run through your mind.

Luckily, it is in learning to love yourself that you can truly open your heart, your mind, and your Soul to the transformative power of the true essence of Love.

Each time you love in the many different ways that you can manifest love; you are opening and expanding the portal to the Divine. We are told that God is Love and there is no greater truth. The more we can demonstrate love, the more we are joining with God in the Oneness and unity of humanity.

One of the amazing miracles of Love is that Love is merged and blended with both forgiveness and grace. Love also activates compassion and with compassion most often comes understanding. And because Love unites us with the Divine, the more you love, the easier you find it to forgive. True Love cascades with grace and transforms your life.

Learning to Love is one of the most important experiences in this life that is filled to overflowing with lessons.

Because you are learning, any attempt you make to love benefits you. You don’t have to be perfect. However much you are able to give love is always a blessing. Romantic love is often the stimulus that opens you to the experience of loving, much like priming a pump. While romantic love is the doorway many use to enter into love, to truly love is so much more since it involves your whole being, body and mind, heart and Soul. Loving truly is more. It involves looking beyond your needs. It involves expanding your awareness of needs beyond your own, to the greatest good, perhaps of others.

One of the amazing parts of love is that it connects you to the spark of the Divine that resides in your Soul. When you love you are connected with what is eternal in your life. When you love you grow in understanding others. You become aware of a higher-level unity and brotherhood/sisterhood that bonds you with others in a way that enhances all of your life experiences.

We are all told in the bible to, “Make love your aim” 1: Corinthians 13. We are told that of all the gifts of a spiritual life, “the greatest of these is love.”

You don’t need to criticize yourself or judge yourself or others for the inability or failures you may experience along the path of life in learning to love. Whatever progress you make or understanding you achieve about what it means to love is a step toward more enlightened awareness. In each step you take, or revelation you are granted, there is an automatic, spontaneous reinforcement because you experience more joy and more peace in your life.

Learning to love is its own reward. That is a miracle. When I consider the amazing grace and wisdom of that design, by the Divine, I cannot help but be filled with awe. I cannot help but feel loved by God and in that great and amazing grace realize that it is Love that I am born to share and disperse.

As love is given to me freely,
I am guided to give love freely.
        – Genevieve Gerard

Furthermore, the wonderful and amazing blessing of giving Love is that by giving I also receive. This is a mystery of loving and one of the great blessings of loving. Each time that I love I am joined with God, whose nature and very essence is love. I cannot help but rejoice.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt, only more love.
        – Mother Teresa

Love is the life lesson that seems riddled with paradox because it is so very powerful and so very transformative. I know very well in my life how many times I have failed to truly love, even when I have professed love and strived to love. Our human nature, our personal desires, and needs are such that loving does not always come easy. Romance, sexual desire, and selfishness all confuse this.

Be gentle with yourself. Love is the nature of God. You are not God. You are a human being. Each time you love, you brush up to the majesty and glory of God and are blessed and transformed in your very human life.

The more you open your heart and your mind to Love, the more you touch the divine breath of love that comes from your Soul, and the more your life reflects joy.

 

Ponder on the words of this meditation.

Namaste,
