What is Love?

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.   - Mevlana Jelaladdin Rumi
Your task is NOT to seek for love, but merely to seek and FIND all of the barriers WITHIN YOURSELF that you have built AGAINST it. It is NOT necessary to seek for what is true, but it IS necessary to seek for what is FALSE. 
A Course in Miracles, Chapter 16 

Seeking for Love is often the primary quest in one’s life. 
When you find the Love in You, the Love You Are, you know that Love is our natural state.
When you seek for God, you find God simply Is within You the Essence of You..

Our work here is to clear the fear.
Our work here is to undo all the barriers, distractions, defenses and objections we have placed in our minds.
Our vocation is to recognize that our search for love strengthens our belief that Love is not already here..
Love (God) is the Presence and the Power, that is the essence of all that is. The blessings already are.

Sometimes we search for what is right under our nose.  
And when we find it, we feel foolish.
And so it is with Love and God.
In this illusion, the complex composition of defenses and fear, the separation from Love It Self, we see it not.

And so we come once again to forgiveness.
Forgiveness is but an eraser filled with Love.
Forgiveness is the “delete” button on the computer.
Forgiveness is the willingness to undo everything that is not true.

When we are willing to forgive, erase and undo everything and everyone for all time, we see what really is, was, and always will be.  
Love, not special Love projected on a special one or precious few, will be the Connection, the Source, the Universal Blessing of everyone for everyone and everything.
We will be truly happy, eternally at peace and joined with an honest devotion to Love It self.

Love has no end.
Love always prevails.
Truth is truth and can be nothing else.
The Truth Of Love will dawn on us, of itself. 
The greatest misunderstanding may be that Love is special.
The only mistake we ever make when we forget to Love.
Love is natural for those who make no demands.
We are created in Love, by Love for the purpose of Loving.

Loving You Loving me, loving all that is We
We are One in Love,
Betty Lue

What Are Loving Reminders?

I send them directly to over one thousand people and many more from your referrals.
I have been writing and sending Loving Reminders for over 11 years everyday I am at home.
They are valuable for me to receive and share and valuable for others who receive them as reminders.

When something resonates with you, you feel its truth in your heart.
When you are reminded of what you know deep inside, you appreciate and find value.
When you are touched with inspiration, you feel grateful and can choose to practice.
This is my reason for listening within and sharing the inner guidance I receive each day.

After counseling and coaching thousands of individuals, couples and families, I know the need.
After teaching, mentoring and facilitating hundreds of people for the last 35 years, I hear the call.
After listening and letting Spirit within guide my life for most of my life, I feel the importance.
And this is my way of responding to all of us for the Highest Good and finding a better way.

These reminders are intended to be practical; they are meant to be used everyday.
These reminders are intended to be inspirational; they are meant to move you into action.
These reminders are intended to be spiritual; they are meant to call you to return to what is meaningful.
These reminders are intended to be healing; they give insight, freedom to choose/change and peace.

For many, there is limited time and money, so these reminders offer help when you have need.
For some, there is hesitation in asking for help, so these reminders are an anonymous way to learn.
For others, there is denial of needing anything, and the reminders simply reawaken what is known.
For me, these reminders are a powerful way to connect, to touch you with my love for us all.

Yes, I Love You.
I love you when you are happy or sad, right or wrong, awakening or sleeping on the job.
I love you when you don’t love yourself or forget you are loveable and capable just as you are.
I love you when you are willing to do the work and when you get lazy and quit on yourself.

I am your Loving Reminder.
We can call it a Calling or Holy Assignment or just what I am here to do.
My intention is to facilitate all of us in playing our Part and living our potential in being all we can be.
Said in a thousand ways or no way at all…your healing and success and joy are a blessing for me.

So why would I sit at my computer every morning as my spiritual practice and joy…….??
Because of all this above and so much more.
You and I are One..
More than you can know, we are connected in Love.
Ask me your questions. 
Give me your comments.
Share with me your gratitude. 
And always know I am with you in Love.
