Strong part 3
Love is all-powerful, right? Which doesn't mean MOST powerful. It means ALL of the power. So, by that Logan logic, there's nothing stronger than love. Right? And love doesn't demand its (HIS) own way. So being strong doesn't mean getting what you want all the time. Its not "right because of might." I know the winners get to write the histories, but the real winners are those who GIVE what they've got rather than trying to GET. Love is never about getting, because love IS giving. And if there's nothing stronger than love... that means there's nothing stronger than giving. Giving everything you have and everything you are. That's the strongest thing there is. And, let me just say it again, all powerful doesn't mean most powerful. It means there is no other power. All of these other things that seduce us into thinking a certain way, or mix us up and mess us up... they don't have any power. None. Unless we GIVE them power. Because, like I always say, what you BELIEVE is inside is what will come out. What you believe (either the report of the Lord, or the lies of the world) is what is real to you. What you magnify is what will manifest in your life. If you believe the lie that says you aren't good enough, for example, that's what's real to you. Now, the truth is you ARE good enough. Always have been. Always will be. Fearfully and wonderfully made by a loving Creator for no other purpose than to express Himself to you, and in you, and through you, and as you by loving you. You ARE good enough. But if you believe you're not... you'll act like you're not. And if you already are good enough, but you don't believe it, and you run yourself ragged trying to prove that you are good enough, or somehow become good enough, then all you're really doing is robbing yourself of what you've already been given. You can't earn a gift. Certainly not one that you've already been given. But if you keep trying to earn it instead of just enjoying it--receiving it and releasing it--then you'll miss out on it. Faith is so important. Faith in God. Believing in love. Believing the ultimate truth of the universe that says, "God is love and He loves you." Once we have that settled in our hearts and minds, everything else falls into place. Well, really, everything else is already IN place. So what happens when the light shines is that everything is REVEALED to be in place. In Divine Order. So we can be strong in grace and forgiveness and mercy and love... when we know that we are full of grace and mercy and forgiveness and love. You can't give what you don't have. And you can only give what you do have. Love isn't something to "get." Its what we've already got. Because its who we are. Because its who God is. And He lives in us. He lives through us. He lives as us. As He is, so are we in this world. So what am I trying to say today? I'm trying to say love never fails. Which means we can never fail when we let that love that's inside us come out. When we act in kindness and love. Charity is love in action. And that's as strong as it gets!
