Growth of love is the aim of our hearts. It is in our design to expand the awareness of the presence of love for ourselves and the world.  Each moment is a decision to either seek love or bring love.  We have a fruitful heart ready to embark on the task.  It is connected to the Creation and Force of love that governs the universe.  Love is always present it is just a matter of the lens through which we are seeing things.  The world tells us that love is only the niceties of life.  The very idea of love being present in all things like pain and frustration does not match.  It is not within our expectations.  Love is the presence of the light of life which lives and breathes in all.  God has given us the opportunity to explore the multitude of possibilities of love’s presence with every moment of our lives.  Each breath we take is a chance to engage.  We get to live the variations of our fruitful heart when we remember it is not limited by our thinking of what a heart can do or be.  With each exchange we can decide to live fruitfully in our hearts or rely on only what we know.  We can choose to remember our connection to all of life or play out the disconnection like a movie on replay.  There were many years of my life when I was not even remotely aware of my connection to any sense of fruitfulness in my heart.  I was convinced my heart and soul were darkened somehow and it was my job to keep you from finding out.  I believed in God but my belief did not mean I allowed myself to sit in the awareness of God in my heart.  I chose to use my fruitful nature to encase and entomb my heart for protection.  Life had dealt me a raw deal and clearly I could get away with keeping up the guards while playing the role of someone who was letting you in.  A few hundred or so extra pounds of physical protection does a pretty good job of it.  Learning to live life while not encasing protection over my heart physically, emotionally or spiritually means I feel the experience of what happens when I allow the fruitfulness of love to live in and through me.  It breaks my heart and is also beautiful.  Most importantly because of my daily dates with God, I have greater courage to choose the fruitfulness of love in my heart with each new breath.
