God embraces.  It continually amazes me the depths at which God is available to receive me just as I am.  It is honestly beyond my understanding the openness God demonstrates.  It is the power of love at its fullest.  God doesn’t seem to spend time with a list of things needed for improvement.  God isn’t interested in all the ways in which I am not able to be open to loving myself.  Perhaps God knows that I am acutely aware of these things.  There is something in being willing to step towards this opening to love offered by God that allows me to embrace the lack of love in me.  The opening of love created allows for an acceptance of what is.  When I am in acceptance I can move forward and decide to change or not.  God’s love is not contingent on my perfection.  God’s love is always open and available.

My prayer for us is the courage to open ourselves up to love as God loves and let go of our requirements for love today.

If God is not limited by our perception of deservedness, in what way can you be open to loving you  in an area of your life where you have restricted love today?  Share in the comments.
