Love is the Answer

"Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited."  St Paul,  1^stCorinthians 13:4

Sunday before last, Susan Russel, one of our priests at All Saints, delivered a sermon on “What is most simple is the most difficult.” Meaning Jesus’s message is very simple, but not easy for us humans to consistently practice: Love one another as I have loved you and love your neighbor as yourself.

One problem being that many of us don’t feel loved and don’t feel loving towards ourselves. So love of Self and allowing God to love us is actually one of the foundational spiritual practices. If we know that we often experience shame, guilt, depression, self rejection, and chronic fear, then the practice of Self Love would be highly beneficial for our souls.

Whenever one of these negative feelings arises within our consciousness, it would be good to go directly into Self Loving. We can do this by placing our hands over the places in our body where we feel these emotions, often the heart space and the gut. And as we connect to these hurting places in our body we send loving to them. This is simple spiritual first aide that is so simple, straight forward and provides great consolation and healing.

Listen

LISTEN

Stop. Listen.

Your Soul is calling to you.

But you are busy with the too many things

some bright and beautiful,

others heavy and dark.

But go below this.

Go deeper:

your Soul is calling to you.

You are larger than you think

and your Soul knows.

It knew before

you were even born.

It knows that the world waits for you-

for the one precious thing

you were born to do.

Listen to the silence

that is below the too many things.

It too knows what

you were meant to be.

Let go of fear, let go of shoulds

Your Soul is calling to you,

inviting you into the great world

that is waiting for YOU.
