Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

If you get married because you love your mate for what he or she will do, then you may not love them if they don't do what you want or expect. But if you marry simply because you love the other person and it doesn't matter what they do, then that is the marriage that can endure and be enjoyed throughout all experiences for a lifetime.

Try this: Inhale to the count of four - and exhale to the count of four. Pause, and wait for God to breathe you. Wait for your Soul to take your next breath. Then breathe in to the count of four - and out to the count of four. Relax. Be quiet. Wait for God to breathe you. Repeat this for several minutes. Place your awareness on what breathes you when you relax, and wait for your breath to come to you. Place your awareness on what lies beyond your conscious control. How are you feeling now?

If all our experiences were neutral, what would that mean? That our lives were sterile, a void. No. "Neutral" is the loving heart, which is the Soul. When the loving heart is flowing and functioning, it has no wants and desires - none. It is the emotions that want this and that. When you're neutral and unattached, you don't care what anyone else does. But you care that you're loving and open and that you're expanding your consciousness. What if it doesn't expand at the rate you want? You're not neutral as soon as you entertain that thought. You're intellectualizing and may be setting a trap for yourself. Instead of listening to the intellect, listen to your heart.

As soon as you can get spiritually above the field of encounter, then you see how you can move things. How do you do that? By spiritual exercises. By conscious will-power: "I will lift myself. I will behold the glory of God. I will. But not in my time, in Yours." You then become free in your consciousness to co-exist with the Lord.

Affection often brings about control patterns (or attempted control patterns), depression, rejection, and hurt. Everybody has been there before. You know where that is. As long as you keep placing that seed back inside of you, that is what you are going to keep bringing forward. But you don't have to re-create that infinitely. You can change it anytime you wish and bring forward pure love.

As we realize that Spirit is amongst us, something sacred and holy comes upon us. This is a safe place to come as children of God, as we take responsibility for the love of God, it transcends any disturbance we encounter. As we share our Divinity together we become people who care about others, and don't have to hold up any pretense.

Virtually all of life's activities fall into four areas: relationships, health, finances, and career. These are the areas where we experience most of our problems and challenges. Take a few moments to look at your life to see where there is the most movement right now. The area of greatest movement might be the one in which you have the biggest problem or issue to resolve. Or it might be the one you would most like to improve overall. Often, we can experience movement as discomfort or dissatisfaction, but it's important to remember that where there's movement, there's also the greatest opportunity for change.

Spiritual exercises are designed to give you the opportunity to perceive the reality of your situation more clearly and arrive at some sensible choices for yourself.

In love you don't even have to use the intelligence. Through Divine love you will see things in proper perspective, and you use your will only to recognize it. Your love becomes devotion: "I love you. God bless you." You can even bypass the area of discipline and enter directly into the area of Divine service to become part of the living free.

Be very selfish about getting to your next level of spiritual unfoldment. Love everybody, no matter what. Love yourself, no matter what. Present yourself daily to the Spirit. Make yourself available. Come into Spirit's presence.
