Be Open to a Limitless Love

Who's loving you?

I had a recent experience where through being myself and expressing my natural instinct as a caregiver, I was rejected for caring. I was rejected for being compassionate.

Initially, my heart was hurt; I felt rejected and angry. This was not the first time this has happened and I've never been able to make sense of it until now.

As I returned to my room after this happened I was suddenly filled with an overwhelming sense of love. It's hard to describe in words but it was coming from inside of me and I realised it had always been there. In the face of rejection I saw only love.

I realised I had spent so long in despair at the lack of compassion and love in the world that I forgot to rejoice in the love I feel within myself! I am too much for some people but I am never too much for God (or the Universe or Creator or whatever you want to call the energy that gives us life). How could I be? He put me here to love. Despite rejection, despite fear and in the face of criticism.

All this time I have been seeking the approval and love of others when I always had all of his love.

It suddenly occurred to me that we seek a limited love in someone else when we have access to have a limitless love that is always available within ourselves.

Young, old, short, tall, ugly, or beautiful. You are always loved. If you weren't, you wouldn't exist. You were made out of love.

Yet we feel so detached from it. That we have to search for it in another person. They don't even know how loved they are how can they give you the love you deserve? We give our bodies away so that we may be accepted and feel more loved. When we are rejected we feel crushed but it's actually a blessing.

Every rejection has been leading you there; every time someone made you feel less than you are was an opportunity to experience infinite love.

Every trauma ever experienced was showing you the way back home, reminding you that you blindly look outside of yourself for love when you have an infinite source of love inside you. That is why you are never completely satisfied by the love you experience on the outside as it will always be incomplete unless you feel the fullness of love that already resides in your own being.

Looking outside for love will always lead to disappointment. Your own love can never judge you, never tell you your too much or not enough. Will never use or manipulate you. Can only ever be pure and without boundaries.

It is the very beat of your heart. It has been with you every step of the way, holding you, comforting you. Every heartache has been a stone in the road you need to walk to enter the door of your own limitless love.

A never-ending, pure, clear source of love resides at the other side of that door. All you have to do is leave all the pain and suffering outside and walk in with your hands outstretched and you will be welcomed home.
