Just love them. That is the answer. Why do others act out? Why do they become angry, spiteful, petulant, greedy, or any of the many human traits that are less than loving? For they are afraid. They are looking for love and cannot find it within. And so, like a wounded animal, they lash out. Just love them. “How?” you ask. How can you love one who is not displaying love? You see past the signs of their woundedness to the root cause of it, and you allow them to feel what they cannot feel within themselves. In giving them your love, you help to ignite that remembrance of their true nature. Just love them. There is nothing that love cannot heal. The results may not be immediately noticeable, but trust us, your love is never wasted.
Thank you for reminding us of our purpose. My hardest lesson in life has been to learn to give love even when I haven’t received it. God does not look at the love we receive, but rather the love we give. :)
My biggest speed bump is remembering I am worthy of love – that I am the source of unconditional love. I was so busy looking for it outside of me, to have others, believing in the same illusion of separation, to fulfill me. Not realizing the well-spring of unconditional love was within me all along. All I had to do was go within, and surrender everything I identified with, everything I placed labels on of who I thought I was. And as I’m remembering who I AM, the fountain of unconditional love pours through me, washing away all the barriers/illusions/BS I’ve erected around my heart…all I can say is yes, Yes, YES to them falling away!! So, now I feel more understanding and compassionate and gentle with myself when the ego aspect of myself perceives me as stumbling and when the ego aspect of me perceives “others” as stumbling, even though All Is Perfect As Is. And now, I’m more thankful for these opportunities to grow more in love with myself and all that is presented to me. With deepest gratitude for this site and the loving expressions of Suzanne and Bev, and the limitless love channelled to help us remember who we truly are. I am humbled.
How beautiful when this realization occurs. And beautifully expressed, LoveAsTanya.
