God creates. Our design from the beginning has built within us the capacity to love and be loved. We do not need to turn to someone or something else in order to generate that experience. It is a process of allowing it to flow in and through us. We create an open channel where we are emptied of anything that might block the flow of love. When we empty ourselves of all we think we know about love and how we think it will show up or behave we allow for the experience of love as it is in all its fashions to be present. In this space of emptiness we can discover love as though for the first time because we have let go of preconceived notions of what love is. The more I empty myself of my ideas of what love is, the more I experience the vast and expanding nature of love. I am always surprised in the ways it shows up. I am humbled by the appearance of love in a place I thought love dare not go especially when I realize it was me that would not go there.
My prayer for us is the willingness to empty ourselves of our fixed ideas of how love will show up and simply allow it to do so.
If God is all shapes and sizes, how can you empty yourself of an idea of love and be open to a different shape of love today? Share in the comments.
