Love is Not Agreement

Love loves anyway.
Just because we disagree does not mean we do not love one another.
Our natural state is Love.
Love is Who and What We Are.
Love is what we share as creations of Love.
Love is our Essence.
Love is our Spiritual connection.
When we forget our connection, we may forget we love one another.

Differing perceptions are a product of our learned differences.
Differences are experienced and expressed differently.
Our history is different.
Our beliefs are different.
Our thoughts are different.
Our roles are different.
Our preferences are different.
How we think and feel, see and hear, are different.
Our different personalities offer differing points of view.
When we listen to the differences, we can see from a broader perspective.
When we accept differences, we learn.
When we respect all differences, we become more peaceful.
When we honor all differences, we become more joyful.

When there is disagreement, there are simply different perspectives.
When there is disagreement, there are differing personalities with different experiences.
When there is disagreement, there is opportunity for learning, healing and growth.
When there is disagreement, there is an invitation to be appreciative and open-minded.
When there is disagreement, we can expand our viewpoint and forgive our judgments.
When there is disagreement, we can look for our points of agreement.
When there is disagreement, we can simply agree to disagree.

Love transcends differences.
When we trust in our transcendent Love, we are more than willing to share our disagreement.
Love shares freely the truth as we perceive it and believe it to be.
Fear withholds and covers our beliefs and perceptions in what we hope will be accepted and not rejected.
Be pleased that you love without needing others’ agreement.

Loving you,
Betty Lue
