Self-love could really be called Soul-love. The foundation of it being God’s love. When I realized that it really all was between me and God, life shifted.

Rise above the mind and live in your Spirit place, realizing there is no place within yourself that you need to vilify, nor anyone outside of yourself you need to knock down spiritually in order to raise yourself higher. Wars have been fought in the world and in our minds, when really if we can just know God for ourselves, we love. We love ourselves in the process and that love overflows. We realize loving others is allowing God’s love to flow through us. Take a moment and hear my words of God’s love. I share this with you so you may feel the love also. My heart’s truth is my guidance along the path.

What I know is God loves you because God is love. How you love God is none of my business. God energy is unconditional love which doesn’t see separation. God doesn’t care what you wear, what music you listen to, or the front you put up. Your heart is where the God connection is and it can be felt through words, but don’t get tripped up on that part. Focus on the love. Let others read their holy books or inspirational quotes, it’s whatever speaks to their soul. God doesn’t need you to wrong others. Whatever God you worship, be like that instead of just pointing out how others are not. It’s all one God in different flavors. Some may speak to God through their own poetry or others may worship a Higher Power in the forest and call it Universe. God doesn’t care. Feel your truth and allow others to feel theirs. Don’t worry about doing it right or fear God ever. There is no wrath. Would you send your own child to a fiery, horrible place if they made a mistake and stop loving them? We teach our children we love them unconditionally. So does God. Don’t ever for one minute think that because of your mistakes or anything else, that God would turn away from you. All you ever have to focus on is the love. Feel God’s love right you. Deep breath. You are so loved.

You can let this love flow though you daily and experience it anywhere. Do not reserve it for Sunday, a holiday, a place, or conditions. Spirituality is a lifestyle. It’s an everyday practice. It is choosing love every day. It is a daily intention to love, be love, spread love, know love, and live love. The key to your soul is never outside yourself. It is when you wake up to the knowing how loved you really are. It’s like you realize you believe in magic all over again. Like a child, you remember to see the world with wonder, through the eyes of love. Through God’s eyes, you are amazing and so is everything else. You are safe to open up and receive this love. You are worthy. Take it in.
