Openings … Made For Love

 

We were made to love.

To give unceasingly and grieve authentically;

In wonder of creation and of each other.

We were born to love.

 

Love is our action, our raison d’être, our mission.

undeniable, impossible to avoid or refuse,

sitting within us before our first heartbeat.

A spiritual flame lit before and after time.

 

This living waterfall, with endless supply;

cannot be turned off, held back, dammed up,

only diverted for short periods

creating swamps full of serpents, disease and ill-ordered desires.

Until, exhausted they break out and lead us to new waterfalls of clear, pure water, love-filled and drenching your being—refreshing your heart.

 

We cannot hold love back; it is both spirit and our DNA. Love is our Oneness.

It is why others attract and we react,

giving and receiving, receiving and giving.

Love is mind, body, and spirit;

as mysterious as The Trinity. Love is One.

Then our passion is revealed, released, shared.

 

Love is beauty, attraction, admiration and our inner glowing.

God given, yet misunderstood and remarketed by man

until cheapened to a product, traded like chattel.

Leave love alone—as it is, a gift beyond compare, book without an end, fire always present, potion already taken, the Peace of Heart and Mind sitting there, consoling you ever more.

 

So take it when offered, cuddle up and let the other know you care deeply about them, even when they may not understand. Do not hold it back.

Because love does not need an interpreter, an intermediary, a messenger.

You are the message and messenger. And the message is God.

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 21 SEPTEMBER 2011

It’s no use just sitting on the sidelines; you have to take action to follow the Lord. Get up and go.

Leave your old life behind and find those that can use your gifts and direction. Don’t leave the poor and imprisoned out of your sight.

They can’t see the light, and you have been given the opportunity to show them the unapproachable light of his glory.
