The more I learn to love from a genuine place in my heart, the more I amazed at the power of God and am humbled by my lack of power.  Love calls us to stretch beyond what we think we are capable of and live in a space of constant communion with the Divine.  I am clear that in order to love I need to be connected to the Source of Love.  It is not something I can do of my own accord.  Love is a daily choice. Love is a moment to moment choice and each time I choose it, I am that much more connected to my greatest self.  I am grateful for the countless opportunities that I get throughout the day to choose.  And the thing that blows me away more than anything is in those moments when I don’t choose love because I am fearful or focusing on me and what I will get out of a situation, God does not love me any less.  Honestly this makes no sense to my rational finite mind.  In my mind there is a limit, there is a boundary, there is an end point from which one cannot return.  I guess it is a good thing that God is Infinite.  For God there is no limit to the amount of love.  God simply invites us to choose love because God knows that it expands our experience of life, but our choice will not change that God is love.  Our choice will not cause God to love us less because God does not change based on what we do or don’t do.  God wants us to choose love because it is who we are too and more than anything God wants to be one with us as often as possible.  I heard once Love is just love.  Well God is just God and I believe that God is love.  The question remains, who would I be if I chose to believe down to the core of who I am that I was created by the very source of Love and no matter what I do I cannot change that?  I can admire all I want that God’s love is greater than what I can fathom but it is an act of courage to act as though I am part of that reality.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to acting as if we embody that from which we were created no matter what we do.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
