Love is trust. Love is trusting that everything that is, is meant to be. We are loved, and we are love, so therefore trust is the crucial element to understanding that everything is in perfect divine order.
Love is allowing. Love is allowing others to do/say/act/be however they choose- for that is perfect for them- for it is a reflection of exactly what they are meant to be learning, and meant to be living.
When we allow others to make their perceived mistakes, we are loving them, because we are setting them free to learn what their soul desires them to learn. It is not up to us to say what someone should or should not be learning, or should or should not be saying, etc. Everyone has a different path and purpose, and when we love someone we allow them to be on the journey that they have chosen to be on.
In our society we often misinterpret love to be a condition: if you love me, then I’ll love you- if you do this for me, then I’ll do this for you. But true love comes from the heart, and there are no conditions attached to true love.
When our heart is open we love all equally, for we understand how we are all universally connected and ‘one’. Therefore when you give love to another, you are in essence giving love to all, including yourself.
When our heart is closed and our reaction is fear-based, this is because we do not have the basic foundation of trust that we are loved, and all is love. When we fear something we experience the exact opposite of love, because we are in essence not trusting that we are protected and loved.
This change- from being fear-based to being love-based must start from within. And it starts by accepting that you, yourself, ARE a being of love that is loved and fully supported- because you are here for a reason and are very valuable.
When you accept this, you will trust that you will always be safe, and that you can allow others to follow their own heart, and live their lives, because they too will always be safe.
As we move from competition to co-operation, love is all that matters. We must trust, and we must allow.
