Where Is The Love?

From a dear friend…. 
I've been thinking a lot about love lately.  I hear so often that Love is the only thing that is real.   But I am confused.   Is love when you hear the cries of a dog who has been left outside on a cold winter night and you can't think of anything except how to rescue him so he will have a warm place to sleep?     Is it love when the person sleeping next to you is snoring  and realizing our own mortality, her snoring becomes music to your ears?   Is it love when tragedy has struck and people who don't even know each other feel compelled to come together?  As I ask myself these questions, I get a sense that love is the energy upon which the whole universe depends.  And sadly, I think the world is indeed experiencing an energy crisis but not the kind that can be fixed by cheaper oil.
When we tap into the energy of love, everything starts to make sense.
 

Where Is The Love?
 

Where there is Love, there is trust.
Where there is Love, there is hope.
Where there is Love, there is creativity.
Where there is Love, there is inspiration.

Real Love is Energy.
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
Energy can be ignored, discounted, and displaced, but the Energy of Love is always present.
We can block our awareness to the Presence of Love.

When we judge, we shut down our Love.
When we condemn, we may shut down others.
When we fail to forgive, we may stop feeling the energy of Love.
When we suspend our caring, we may feel cold, separate and detached.

Love is unfailing.
Love is strength.
Love is forgiving.
Love is healing.
Love is fulfilling.
Love is energizing.
Love is appreciative.
Love is expansive.
Love is genuine.
Love is caring.
Love is Good for all.

When we seek to be good, do good and have good, we are seeking to be love, give love and receive love.
When we stop loving, we step away from being our best, giving our best and having the best.
When we cease treating others as we want to be treated, we are neglecting what is best for us.
Love is our natural state and when we stop extending love, we deny and block the good energy of love.

It is healthy to Love, to share the good we feel and know and are.
It is unhealthy to block the flow of Love, of life energy and creative expression.
Those who quit on loving themselves and others are denying their own true nature.
Those who stop loving, step away from Being the Best they can be.
It is wise, courageous, healing and beneficial to all to remember Love, no matter what.
It always produces success when we never quit on Love!!

Loving you and me and all without end…..
