If we ever find ourselves wondering how it is we are so resistant to allowing love in we have to take a closer look at what we have surrounding our hearts. It is not the truth of who we are that puts limits on love.  It is not the core of our being that does not have room for love.  It is all the stories and ideas about ourselves that we have enclosed over our hearts.  More than likely we do not get very far in life without some wounding.  It is not because life is meant to be hard and cruel.  It is because life is lived in the discovering.  When we have an opportunity to get to know the truth of who we are it is only because we had to do some sorting through all we had surrounding our truth.  I am talking about the layers of stories, the untruths we told ourselves so we could get up after being beaten down a bit and keep moving.  Our minds kicked in to motivate us for survival.  If there is any question about how deeply the heart feels wounded by life and makes us think we cannot go on, just ask anyone who has ever lost someone they truly loved.  There is a reason our stories and myths surround the life and death of love.  It is because they are interconnected. Love is what makes life worth it. When we dare to face and let go of the surrounding untruths about what we need to protect our hearts or cover up the truth of who we are so we do not get hurt again, we can embrace the fragility and beauty of the life-giving energy of love which lies within our hearts and surrounds the whole of our being. God designed us to be surround with love.  The false ideas we surround our truth with under the guise of protection eventually break down because anything other than love is simply not true.  We can be thankful for the purpose those false stories played in aiding our will to survive and leading us to a breakdown where there was nowhere else to look than our hearts.  It is in the discovery we find the truth of our whole self surround with love.
