Love Letter to my Self
Thu, April 10, 2008 - 5:48 PMWhy then do you not let yourself Love me, and why then do you not let yourself be Loved by me? And if you do not let yourself receive Love by me, how then will you receive Love from another? And if you do not let yourself receive Love by me, how then will you have Love to give to another?
Love comes from within. You are offered all of the Love that the Universe has to offer, why then do you not Love me or let yourself be Loved by me?
There are those who know Love’s secrets. They are they Lovers and they are the beloved. They are able to Love because they first let themselves be Loved and then become filled with Love as its Self. But not all who think they Love, truly Love. Some say they Love God but judge their brother. Some say they Love what is good, but give not from themselves. Some say they Love God but do not let themselves receive love, which comes from God.
Do you still not Love me? Your heart has been calloused by that which you do not understand, and you do not remember that Love is not contingent upon circumstance. Real Love flows deep, it cradles you and assures you. Real Love understands and empathizes. Love is a path to the kingdom of God. Love is fulfillment in all things. If you do not live in Love and Love does not live in you, then you are already a ghost.
I know you feel my Love. You want deeply to Love and to be Loved but you feel unworthy. You have tried to Love, but have been hurt also. When the troubles of life become too much to bare we need to be Loved the most, and too often when we have been hurt the pain is too deep to be able to open ourself back up again to continue to receive Love.
You cannot really Love me because you think you no longer know me. You feel that you have betrayed me, and that you are no longer worthy of being Loved. You put a condition, an amount of worth upon yourself based upon your actions. That is not the Truth, nor is that what Love is. But the truth is only that I know you and you know me, for we are one. So I say to you that you are my self and I am your Self. And we are one.
How then can you love another if you do not love your Self? How then can you receive love from another if you cannot receive love from your Self? I say then, Love your Self like you Love God, for you come from God and God is Love. Whatever comes from God cannot be bad. Do not harm your Self, take refuge in your Self. Because you Are and God Is. Do not cast judgment upon your Self, for to do so is to cast judgment upon God. Do not say that this part of me is bad and this part of me is good, for they are all a part of you. But when you have mistreated your Self, do not then judge and condemn, but let your self be forgiven. But to Love your Self and to let your Self receive Love, this is to be in communion with God.
Never forget these things for their is Truth in Love.
Love,
Your Self

Um, loving oneself could also mean not lecturing oneself. ;)

it's not a lecture, it was something that I needed to hear. and as a matter of fact discovered this love very shortly after writing this blog. It's only a lecture if you fear the answers to the questions. ;) as well it was written to myself... hard questions need to be asked sometimes. I actually discovered the love of my life only about a week after writing this ironically enough. One of my friends who has loved me for a few years like no other person has loved me. we always bickered and i thought she was trying to change me all the time, and i realized she was loving me in ways that I could not love myself, and that was making it impossible for me to receive her love. once i realized this my heart burst open and i received a clarity of mind that I have not been present to for quite some time.
i love you too jazmin! =) |
