Over the years so many people told me that they don’t know what Love feels like.  

They tell me that they don’t really feel connected to Spirit.  

It’s very common.  Spiritual people don’t really talk about it openly because it feels like they’re failing at being spiritual.  I get it.

For years and years I struggled to be loving.  I had so many judgmental and unloving thoughts that it felt really hard to be loving.  

I remember making a decision to focus on being kind and patient and that was actually a really good decision.  It still challenged me to my core many, many times.

A Course in Miracles tells us to, “teach only love for that is what you are.”

God is Love.

God is Love, and so am I.  I am part of God and so, of course, I have to be Love itself.  

We cannot feel connected to God and our holiness when we’re thinking unloving thoughts, because God and holiness are not what I’m interested in that moment.  

The more loving we are, the more we feel connected to Spirit, and each other.

The more loving our thoughts are, the more we feel connected to our own holiness, and everyone else’s.

The more loving we are the more we’ll be aware of God’s presence in our life and being as well as AS our very life and being.

People sometimes ask me what it actually means to be loving, and I say, “be kind, be understanding instead of judgmental.”

The more unloving we are the more we will feel like a victim of this world and then we fall down a rabbit hole of unloving thoughts.

It’s that simple.  

People often tell me that they’d like to feel closer to God.  But if they’re not willing to commit to being loving to the best of their ability in that moment, then they don’t actually want to be closer to God because God is Love.  And so are we.

Being unloving is a habit we can break.
Being loving is how we’re designed to be.

One of the reasons that forgiveness is so powerful, particularly Self-forgiveness, is that it’s about the release of judgment, condemnation and all manner of attack thoughts.  The release of the attack thoughts is so healing.  It opens our hearts, and lets the Love out.

Forgiveness puts us back in touch with our divinity and with the Power of God in our life.  That’s why forgiveness offers everything we want (according to ACIM).

Sometimes it seems too hard.  It can seem like it’s not worth it to give up our judgments, but that’s only because we don’t really understand what it’s costing us.

Feeling connected with Spirit is worth giving up ALL grudges and grievances.  Especially now.  The world needs our loving heart. Let’s not waste time anymore.

If forgiveness is what you know will help you the most right now, CHECK THIS OUT!!! I was in a staff meeting the other day and Spirit gave me a beautiful inspired idea!  

I’m giving away my Forgiveness Retreat for free – yes, no cost for tuition – MY GIFT TO YOU – (you do have to pay for travel, lodging and meals).
