Love, as the antidote of fear...

Imagine living life in the care of our most faithful friend and lover. Imagine "love" as being a conscious living reality – one that exists to be the expression of its love for us.

This description of love is but a mere whisper of all that is the creating dimension of human consciousness, inviting all of us to deny ourself and live.

When love steps into our life, we experience the realisation of our reason for being in life. For love is the food that sustains us through our life. It is through love that we conquer our demons, always waiting to instil fear and insecurity into our life. Love is also recognisable for its willingness to sacrifice ourself, for the needs of others. Love places the other person, before our thought for ourself.

Love is, in essence, the creating dimension of our life – revealing its will to love all its creation through us.

In love, is found the building material for a better and more fulfilling life. For love releases our capacity to create our dreams. In our plans can be found our reason for being born. Our rightful inheritance is always revealed when we are living in love. It is revealed through our willingness to sacrifice ourself for those whom love is inviting us to love.

The trials and tribulations of our daily life, are the stepping stones into the growth of our need to love...

The ideal lover is always the appreciation of those for whom love is wanting. It is when we are most in need of love that we begin to understand the lack of love in our life. The trials and tribulations of our daily life, are the stepping stones into the growth of our need to love. For it is through the troubles that develop our capacity to resist and overcome all that would deny us our right to happiness, that we recognise ourself in the faces of those who also share our journey.

When desperation enters our life as a result of our failure to cope with life's problems, we can sense that there is something within our being attempting to attract our attention to its conscious awareness of our miserable pit of hopelessness.

Hope knocks at our door and asks us to open our will to resist life's hard realities. Hope asks us to listen to its guidance on all that will offer us a way out of our pool of shame-filled disaster, into a life of creative growth.

Faith is always understood in our experiences with that reality that manifests in our life as hope-filled inspiration. Inspiring us to make decisions that appear illogical, is the invitation of faith in that which is invisible and appreciable only through our willingness to live in faith of the results that begin to flower in our life.

We are the manifestation of God's love - "it's expression of itself". We become "the physical reality" of Love, and of Hope...

It is the results of our experiences with faithful living in that invisible and incomprehensible guidance, that encourages us to continue trusting in all that only appears in our life as its wish to help us live our life as its expression of itself, through we becoming its physical reality.

The source of our faithful relationship is always understood in its capacity to love us through its willingness to love those in need of loving. We become the lover of the reality that is love, through its love of us.

The resourceful lover always asks us to trust its love of us, by asking us to have confidence in its wisdom. Time is the essence of our deepening mutual love. For in time we learn to trust and in growing confidence we reveal our strength and fortitude, in overcoming all that had previously reduced us to desperation.

Faith requires no rules, for it is the manifestation of all that is the cause of our life's journey.

In faith is revealed the face of its source, always asking us to embrace His way into our life as the love of our life.
