What Do You Know?

When we look through our little peephole on life, what we see is limited.
When we try to understand, we get only a glimpse of what is really there.
When we focus on the bad stuff, we see mostly bad stuff and judge it as bad.
When we look for the Good stuff, we feel the love and gratitude  for all the Good in our lives.

We can pick apart almost anything and anyone, including ourselves, when we look for faults.
Faults are false.
We can celebrate almost everything and everyone, including ourselves, when we look for the Good.
What is true is always true.

What we believe, we perceive.
What we think, we become.
What we resist, persists.
What we desire, we create.

When we give our thoughts to our fearful self, our ego, our learned separate personality, we see what we have been thinking.
We see through the filters of our history, our experiences, our learned thought system and the opinions of others.
When we quiet our own thinking and use the Higher Mind, the thought system of Spirit, we desire only Peace and Love of God, of Good.
When we are willing to relinquish our limited view which cannot see the whole of  life, we seek guidance.
When we recognize, we do not know and cannot understand, we seek Peace.

When we are at peace and have Love for ourselves, when we forgive all things, understanding comes.
When we are willing to let go and trust God, the Greater Good, we find a better way, a wiser way.
When we are open to listening with gratitude and an open heart and mind, we hear the Truth.
When we recognize our own healing and are willing to offer Healing Love to others, we are at Peace.

Yes, it requires our willingness to let go.
Yes, it asks that we relinquish our attachments to our beliefs.
Yes, it invites us to let go of our own limited, special thought system.
Yes, it encourages us to always and only to desire and choose a Loving Way to be and see, to do and have.

Each one of us, must choose for ourselves.
We must express our own willingness to give up the stuff we really do not want.
We must forgive our complex and defensive thinking and choose for what is simply and Always True.
We are here to love ourselves and love one another, no matter what.

This is my commitment to you and to all.
The only mistake we ever make is when we forget to Love.
I commit to Love no matter what.
Love is the way I live at Peace and with Joy.

Loving you,  
Betty Lue

LOVE
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
No gulf that enough love will not bridge;
No wall that enough love will not throw down;
No sin that enough love will not redeem.

 It makes no difference 
  how deeply seated may be the trouble,
How hopeless the outlook,
How muddled the tangle,
How great the mistake. 
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

 If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest 
and most powerful being in the world.
