God gives. The giving and receiving of love constitutes every element of flow in the universe. We are designed at our very core to give love and receive love. We are an extension of all that is love. We are the manifestation of a profound powerful love that far surpasses our understanding. We get glimpses and notions from other people, nature, and being present. Feeling alive is the feeling of love. Sensing the majesty and magnitude of our breath is love. Experiencing the embrace of love is what keeps us alive and breathing. God has designed so many ways of gifting us with this understanding of love. We experience it physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. God does not place limitations on the ways love can be present in our lives. We place limitations on our awareness by restricting it to expectations. We imagine a gift of love will show up in a particular gesture, a certain wording, a specific person, a powerful experience or any combination of those. Some of my most delightful days are the ones in which I am surprised by how God presented a gift of love to me. Catching the light of the sun through my window, watching a bird swoop through the sky, the feel of the cool wind on a warm night, the sound of a homeless person’s laugh, seeing two people on a bus stop talking to one another, or a smile from a stranger. These are the gifts of love reminding me I AM here now in this present moment paid attention to. God notices me. God is gifting me with love.
Be Of Giftedness!
on June 15, 2016My prayer for us is the willingness to let go of our predetermined expectation of God’s gift of love this day and be surprised.
If God is ready to show us a gift of love at every turn, how might you be open to receiving this gift today? Share in the comments.
