Finding Peace Through Love

Love heals.

Love enters your life through others once you begin to love yourself.

Self-love waters the soul and forgiveness nourishes the spirit. The values and morals you live by are the foundation for self-acceptance through which love grows. You then can begin to selflessly give and be other-directed.

To give without return. This is the stuff love is made of.

Love and anger don’t mix. To bring love into your life, you need to come to terms with any anger you are harbouring. Ask forgiveness from those whom you may have hurt, intentionally or not. Forgive yourself for the deeds you aren’t proud of and that fanned the flames of anger. Forgive those who have hurt you, intentionally or not. Love enters when anger departs. Forgiveness opens the door.

Love dares not judge. Love accepts.
Love dares not lash out. Love caresses.
Love dares not give with conditions. Love is unconditional.

As you gain wisdom with years, you come to understand that love is not something given to you. Rather, you give love to yourself when you let it in and open your heart to embrace the essence of life. The reason you are here is to love and to be loved in return. Remember to always follow your heart. You’ll only regret the times you didn’t.

Acts Of Love

Seek to understand and don’t worry about being understood
Give without return
Say “How Can I help?” more often
Forgive yourself for being imperfect
Pray for the ones who have hurt you in the past and wish them good
Remind yourself that God loves you
Be a friend to someone in need
Make a list of all your wonderful talents and attributes
Find ways to complete yourself by exploring your dreams and fears
Look at the inside of people you meet — the light that shines from within — instead of outward appearances
Follow your heart. You will never go wrong.
