Wars have been fought and sonnets were written all in the name of love. There is no greater power than the power of love! Love has the ability to heal the world. When the energy of love takes hold of you, you feel powerful. When love is pure and decent, innocent and true.s futile, it can make you forget every bad thing that ever happened. As stated in Corinthians 13:13, "Three things will last forever -- faith, hope and love -- and the greatest of these is love." As stated in Friday's, love has many forms. Storge, Eros, Phileo, and Agape. Another type of love is Love for ourselves - To love yourself means to accept yourself as you are and to come to terms with those aspects of yourself that you cannot change. It means to have self-respect, a positive self-image, and unconditional self-acceptance. Once we truly learn to love ourselves, we are free to love others and to let other people in. Self-love at its core is self-acceptance of who you are just as you are, the good and not-so-good parts of yourself. It's about self-respect and self-empowerment. It's about self-care and looking after yourself and having compassion for yourself when you are going through a hard time. It's about honoring your heart's desires and being true to yourself. It's about knowing deep down that you matter and that you are enough as you are. You have nothing to prove, and you just need to be yourself and give of yourself to others. Imagine a world where people just loved themselves for who they are. It would be a world full of people resonating love from their hearts, and their state of being would be love. Love is who we are. It is our state of being, and anything else is fear. When we partner up with love, our lives begin to magically transform in ways we could never dream of. When we give ourselves permission to do what we love and be who we love to be, we become free to be our true selves.
We are living in a time where there is so much need for love, more so than ever. It starts with each of us reaching deep inside and connecting to our true nature, which is love, and offering our loving selves to others, not because we seek anything, but rather because our cup is full of love and we have nothing more to do than simply share it with others, that's the true Power of Love.
