Love - It's Our Choice...
LOVE -- IT'S OUR CHOICE
Being alone and feeling vulnerable. Like two separate themes, these two parts of myself unite in my being and sow the seeds of my longing for unconditional love. ----- Mary Casey
How easily we slip into self-doubt, fearing we're incapable or unlovable, perhaps both. How common for us to look into the faces of our friends and lovers in search of affirmation and love.
Our alienation from ourselves, from one another, from God's Spirit, which exists everywhere, causes our discontent. It is OUR discontent. We created It !!. When souls touch, love is born, love of self and love of the other. Our aloneness exists when we create barriers that keep us separate from our friends, our family & even our most loved ones. Only we have the solution. Only we can reach over or around the barriers, offering love lets us receive love.
Recovery offers us the tools for loving, but we must dare to pick them up ....... AND USE THEM !!Listening to others and then sharing ourselves, begins the process of loving. Risking to offer love before receiving it, & not expecting great returns, frees us from the continual search for love in the faces of others.
I won't wait to be loved today. I will love someone else, first. I won't doubt that I, too, am loved. I will see it & I will feel it. As Keb Mo sings it " When you're feeling like dust on an empty shelf, just remember ..... YOU CAN LOVE YOURSELF !! "
