At the end of my first ever relationship, I remember a pivotal conversation I had with God. I informed God my heart was closed and moving forward I did not want to connect with anyone until I met the person I was supposed to marry. I laugh out loud and have a great deal of compassion for that young woman who was sure the only solution to the pain (aside from the food I was already using) was to shut down my heart. I did not understand until many years later, I was asking to turn off all links to love with anyone including myself.  We have ideas about what love is and what it is supposed to look like and when it does not show up that way, we don’t see it.  It is much the same way when we approach our relationship with God. The reality is we are far more connected to love than we can see.  The links to the presence of love are deep within us.  It is part of our makeup.  We could no sooner disconnect from those links than turn the planet to move in the reverse direction. On my daily dates with God, I continually encounter the subtle and profound ways God chooses to introduce the links of love present in my life.  When I stand in the courageous space of my heart and hold the open breathing space of possibility, I see with the links with the eyes of my heart as much as the eyes of my mind and body. I would share some of those love links with you now but I do not want to taint the options your heart wants to show you of your love links.
