‘TIS THE SEASON FOR RECEIVING

During “the season” we are encouraged to give to those who are less fortunate than ourselves. I found when I was helping in Kenya, Africa, that those with nothing seemed to have the most open hearts. They would say to me “all I can give you is love” and I would feel like the richest woman when they offered me their blessings. They were able to fully receive the material goods we had to offer but I wasn’t so convinced that we were able to fully receive their unconditional love.

Many of us are convinced that we are the “givers.” We offer others our support, energy, wisdom and of course our love. Yet how can we be genuinely giving love as a gift if we are in resistance to opening our own hearts to receive? If our hearts are closed, then our giving is an intellectual exercise.

What is this resistance to receiving? The resistance is the fear of love. When we are willing to go deeper to our hidden belief systems, many of us discover that we hold that love is something negative. Love has caused us pain, abandonment, rejection, disappointment and loss. From these experiences we judge love and become separated from our authentic self…….the love that we are.

Many of us will be given many gifts this season. The greatest gift we can give to ourselves is unconditional self acceptance. The doorway to receivership is genuine forgiveness of all of our experiences.

Sunday morning when we “meet” let’s focus on letting go of the old paradigm of LIMITED LOVE.

Fear has been the foundational platform of our egoic, separated selves for long enough. This is YOUR SEASON. Allow all that you are to blossom fully within you and celebrate with joy, your deeper awakening to LIFE!

Let’s take the leap of faith and jump to our authentic self who waits with arms wide open for a full embrace.

Yours in service to the all,

Marilyn
