God loves because God is love.  At the end of the day we do not need to permit love for it to occur.  It happens as naturally as the wind blowing.  For me the difficulty comes in allowing myself to receive the love. I was talking with a close friend of mine a couple of days ago and she expressed  how important it was to her that she hear what I had to say.  A simple enough statement but one that made me want to cry.  I spent many years of my life thinking people weren’t listening and therefore did not care what I had to say.  I thought I needed to rush through whatever it is that I was saying and not take up any more of their time than necessary.  A story based on some circumstances from the past that were not happening in the present.  Allowing for love in whatever form comes in giving myself permission to be in the present moment.  Permission to let go of the stories that developed out of circumstances I am not currently experiencing.  God gives me the courage to permit myself to receive love.

My prayer for us is the willingness to let go of what is keeping up from receiving love in whatever from it presents itself.

If God is ready and waiting to bestow love on you, what might you need to permit yourself to let go of to make room for that love today?  Share in the comments.
