LOVE EXCHANGE
We exchange love by giving and receiving. There are many facets of love such as compassion, kindness, respect and gratitude. When you send someone loving thoughts, they receive them in an instant. They may suddenly feel a warm rush of energy and not know why.
Although it may be difficult to love those who trespass against you, they are your greatest teachers, for when you can love them, it becomes much easier to love yourself and others.
Choose one person that is difficult for you to love. Each day, send this person feelings of love. Release your judgment of his/her behavior. Know this person was created by the same Creator and is of equal value. Continue sending love, even if it takes months, until you feel a heart connection has been made. Work to forgive and release any pent-up emotions that have kept you energetically blocked.
It is important to send loving thoughts to all of humanity. When you encounter others, smile and send them a burst of love, no matter what your history is with each of them. Throughout the day, send yourself loving thoughts. Feel grateful for your body and the ability to be living on Earth at this time. Practice these things until they become habits, replacing old beliefs of judgment. Go forth, enjoy this day and exchange love with those you meet!
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:36-40
