Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

If you ever had your feelings hurt and you forgave the person for it, and, inside of you, you allowed them the chance to hurt your feelings again, then you really did forgive them. You entered into real, true forgiveness because you allowed them the opportunity to come back to you again. That's forgiveness. But if you remember who they were and what they said and what they did and the time they did it, and if you say you forgave them, you didn't. We don't really forgive when we still have the feeling of the memory of the hurt.

When situations in your life become difficult or painful, you may lose track of the fact that Spirit is still present in your life. The situation you perceive as negative may be Spirit's blessing, giving you the opportunity to clear conditions that are holding you back and allowing you to move into greater strength and freedom.

When you are confronted by your attachments to what you want or don't want, you have an opportunity to relax and be patient as you look to the good and serve what you know is good going towards the highest good.

It's been said, "In every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." But it's only words until you truly see yourself, in your daydreaming or in your imagination, really getting better and better. Then holding the picture in your mind that you want more of becomes a positive use of each day. There is never a dull moment because each moment can be used for your learning, upliftment, and growth. What we often do with that moment is hold the picture in our mind that we want less of. We hold fear in our mind. We hold worry in our mind. Yet, if we can get a feeling of joy or peace, we can then find a picture to match that in our mind -- for example, a puppy or kitten or a lake in the mountains. Then we have a brand new start in this very moment.

Loving unconditionally does not mean that you have to participate with someone in their actions. That is their expression and their opportunity to learn, not necessarily yours. Loving unconditionally means that you accept their action without judgment and without being emotionally reactive.

When we truly do something in service, it's okay if somebody tells us, "That's good," or "That's bad." Why? Because true service is given freely without expectation of others' approval.

The first aspect of being of service is to be there for yourself. Make a commitment to yourself to find out if you can really be of service. The key always is your willingness to participate in your own life. Just tell yourself, "Boy, today I'm going to breathe in and out in my own love and my own beingness, and I'm going to be present here like you can't believe."

We live in grace already because "the blessings already are," yet most people are not fully aware of it.

The Soul responds to love. It rarely responds to anything else. It will not respond to the temporary "love" of a moment or two. But it will respond to an honest expression of love, because that is its nature -- loving and happy and joyful.

We need to surf the energy and conditions in the world in order for us to come into our full potential. We need to be ever more disciplined and willing to focus upon the positive regardless. Just do it. Then from our co-creatorship with God, energy follows our focus/thoughts and becomes manifestation. By our willingness to see the positive in the midst of negative distortion we can keep our vision acute and attuned to the clarity that is Spirit.
