Growing Friendship and Love

What you have never known, you must learn.
What you have been falsely shown, you must forgive.
Where you have been misguided, can be erased and undone.
What you have always desired, can be realized and won.

All relationships are for healing what is not true, good and loving.
Every relationship (parents, kids, friends, partners and mates) provides lessons.
We are here to let go of what does not work and to discover what does work for everyone.
What “works” is beneficial, healthy, supportive, inspiring and good for all.

Where we are attracted, we have something to learn and teach.
Where we are repelled, we have something to learn and teach.
When we are neutral, we are comfortable with what is familiar.
When we are uncomfortable, we are awakened to let go and learn.

Letting go of attitudes, opinions, judgments, resentments, fears and hurts is work.
Letting go of addiction, neediness, dependence, manipulation and demand is work.
Forgiving ourselves for learning falsely, living unconsciously and resisting what is good, is work.
When we are happy and willing to do the work, we have begun to heal and reveal the Love.

Love is letting go of fear.
Love is releasing the past.
Love is undoing what is false.
Love is honoring what is essential.
Love is gratitude for the healing.
Love is willingness to listen and learn.
Love is seeing beyond the apparent problems.
Love is seeking always to remember what is real.

To heal we need to be responsible for our thoughts and feelings.
To heal we need to accept that all things are possible.
To heal we need to know ourselves and really love ourselves  well.
To heal we need to treat everyone with respect and dignity.

When we teach what we need to learn, we are demonstrating what we want as well.
When we treat others with true forgiveness, patience and kindness, we are helping them heal.
When we allow ourselves and others to make mistakes without shaming and blaming, we are loving.
When we give everyone the acceptance, encouragement and appreciation we all deserve, we are both blessed and a blessing.

This world needs the healing prescription of forgiveness and love.
We need to remember to forgive and love ourselves when we forget or neglect.
We are being reminded with every upset, every call for help, every pain and problem.
We are invited and encouraged to give love where love is lacking and give love where love is shown.

Love is the answer whatever the question, whatever the fear, whatever the problem.
Remembering to Love, 
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.
