For your consideration…

Our messages are often about love…all of them come from love.

Today’s message is specifically about when love hurts…when we have broken hearts. The deeper the love, the deeper the hurt.

We are often told that time heals all. That is not always true. That hurt becomes more bearable but does truly go away.

When we are threatened or suffer deep heartbreak, it is natural for us to try to protect ourselves. We can try to put a shell around our hearts so that we can never be hurt again. That can be a natural reaction but it is the exact opposite of what we need to do.

We are asked to remember that only love is real. Only real love can heal. Rather than shy away from love when we are hurt, we need to seek love. Rather than put a shell around our hearts we need to seek the shelter of those who love us. We need to let them embrace  and love us.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

 

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action seps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is the next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Let love heal us.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
