Loving our Soul, for real - a beginning
Posted: Fri Nov 13, 2015 1:13 am
I had the realisation recently that life without God’s Love, life with out Love is really nothing (I am still working through issues to actually receive God’s Love). There is no purpose, no point, no real need for existence, unless we desire to give and receive love, then there is a point to this existence.
I actually felt really sad about this as I have tried to convince myself there was a point and lived in addictions, brought heaps of stuff or eaten large quantities of food to try and fill the void and the bottomless pits of dark emotions, but it has never lasted, it makes me gain weight (I can gain weight without eating also - any time I am resisting my emotions) and it feels terrible pretty much in every way imaginable.
This realisation coincide with Jesus and Mary’s Partner Relationship FAQ series where they ask some excellent questions:
Do you really want to Love, as God Loves?
What does love do?
What does God’s Love Do?
1. I will ask from my own perspective:
• What would my love for myself motivate me to do for myself?
• What would my love for my partner motivate me to do for my partner?
• What do I feel my partner’s love for his or her self would motivate them to do for his or her self?
• What do I feel my partner’s love for me would motivate them to do for me?
2. My partner would ask from his or her own perspective:
• What would my love for myself motivate me to do for myself?
• What would my love for my partner motivate me to do for my partner?
• What do I feel my partner’s love for his or her self would motivate them to do for his or her self?
• What do I feel my partner’s love for me would motivate them to do for me?

Pete (my husband) and I have been focusing on asking these questions when we ‘fight’ (passive aggressively) and in relation to when we take any action or inaction with each other or another person, we are not ‘down with it’ yet (don’t do it automatically), but even in the asking it opens up an opportunity for a different, more positive interaction, engagement and response. These questions also offer an invaluable resource to improve your intimate relationship and provide self reflection opportunities.
I am finding that the more I discover about God’s way of Loving, the more I get honest about the areas that I don’t want to love in and investigate why, the more I suspect that Love is seriously the only way. That is not a soul based certainty but the evidence is getting more and more indisputable and it is highlighting that it is me who is the problem and the cause of the issues in my life and in my moments of clarity I reckon Love has the power to heal it all.
I am feeling really excited and positive today about God and Love and possibilities!
