God is love. Aligning ourselves with God gives us the power and the courage to live from the love we are.  Love does take courage especially in the face of the adversity or even the face of life that seems to prefer to numb and nullify the living experience.  Love calls us to live expansively and stretch ourselves past what we think our capacity to love is.  Some of the greatest moments of strength and power in my life have been in the small moments when I chose the path of love instead of the path of conformity and expectation.  Aligning myself with the source of all love gave me the strength to take action instead of walking away. When I find myself wanting to close off my heart from someone who is bothering or irritating me, I can take a breath, stand tall, and anchor myself in alignment with a greater truth of love coming from above.  I can then sense the closure slowing and the breath of willingness reach my heart. I have learned that I cannot selectively close off my heart to one person while simultaneously keeping it open to another or myself.  I can choose that it is worth the openness where love can flow freely and in some cases through me when I am not capable of extending it.

My prayer for us is the courage to connect with the truest form of love by aligning ourselves through the willingness to allow love to move through us in times it cannot come from us.

If God designed us to be the messengers of love then how might you be willing to align with God today and allow yourself to be used as the beacon of love you are for yourself and others today?  Share in the comments.
