Love. It’s something we feel, yet can’t quite explain. Like many such things, the poets have been the most successful in quantifying it. It has many forms, expressed in different ways. We say we love the company of our pets. We love the taste of certain foods. We love the fellowship of our friends. We love the intimacy of our spouse. These are all different forms of love.
The greatest gift we can give to ourselves is love. Self love is the most important thing we must do for ourselves. Self love is not conceit. It is not ego. It is honoring ourselves and our beliefs with consideration for other people. It is knowing our limits and pushing slightly beyond them to grow when necessary. It is being comfortable enough with ourselves to be okay with messing up, recognizing that it’s okay to be imperfect. When you have self love, you do not compromise your belief system to other people’s opinions. When you love yourself, you take full responsibility for your life, your choices, and your growth.
I was talking to my spirit one night a while back and everything I have below is what he told me to write down:
Compassion is one of the purest forms of love we can express towards one another. Compassion is more than simply concern. It is unconditional – caring for someone in spite of and because of who and what that person is and does. It is loving someone beyond their outer shell – knowing that we all, at our core, are basically the same. Viewed that way, giving compassion and love to someone is giving yourself that same energy.
Compassion is a disconnection from ego. It is placing others’ needs on par with your own. “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” It is allowing yourself to feel what the other person is feeling and trying to help them, yet not to take their problems personally.
Giving is not just about money. It is a well-known phrase that says that if you give without expectation of return, you will receive it back in abundance. Most people assume that that saying only has application to money, but money is not the only thing you can give. You can give someone a smile. You can give someone a hug. You can give love and compassion.
If you give someone a little love – maybe it’s simply a few kind words – even if they are incapable of giving it back or, possibly, even unwilling to receive it, you will receive it back.
THAT IS COMPASSION!!!
Giving yourself permission to allow love and compassion to flow through you, with no regard as to what you did or how bad it may have been, and allowing yourself to release whatever garbage you may have picked up, will automatically connect you to the heart of the Father, because that is the way He sees you.
