Finally, I got tired. So I surrendered. Hands in the air, heart wide open, spirit willing. I gave away myself, my idea of how things should be, and my wants, so that God could do His work IN me.
I am still working through this part of my life's journey, but I know I wouldn't be at this place today if this year had not of started the way it did. When I started this blog, I wanted to use it as a way to focus on all of my blessings and positivity in the midst of a sad and confusing time in my life. This blog did help me accomplish that goal. Even on the days I didn't write, I tried to keep my mind focused on the blessings in each day. I gained a lot more than this though. I learned the importance of surrendering. I have been able to increase my faith and trust in God, I have reached a new level of forgiveness and healing. Most important of all, I have a higher level of understanding of the power of love.
LOVE. Self love. Love of others. God's Love.
Self Love: People come into my life to show me what my relationship with myself looks like. Nobody ('cept God) can love me better than I can! Nobody!
Love of others: You know, some people won't show love to others unless that person shows love towards them. I'm ok with loving someone, I mean really loving someone, who doesn't express the same love towards me. The love I feel in my heart is enough knowing that God's divine order will prevail, and love is the key to moving me towards my promise.
God's Love: God's love is so amazing. I don't have to do anything, say anything or offer anything to gain his love. He loves me just for me right where I am. Even when I don't love Him like I should, He loves me. That is truly the greatest love of all.
Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, you owe me. Look what happens to a love like that, it lights the whole sky. Hafiz
