The Healing Hand of Love

Sooo many reasons and rationales. Our ability to share Love is tied to our own history which may have left us delicately tentative. So, we confine our joys within the safety net of our closed Loves. No oxygen there. No growth. No changes.

Humanity is starving for Love. Healing of humanity needs it. Here we are starving to be recognized as human beings who can share it and receive it. What a conundrum! Carl Jung (according to my little Devotional full of various authors, poet’s and philosopher’s words) observed, "Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."

Perhaps, the key is to figure out how to lift the shadow of power off the light of Love and let it emanate outward to shine on…shine on.

It seems like a simple act, to give of our Love, unconditionally, with no expectations. Yet, this is more difficult, because once we give it, we pass on our power as well. As well, if the trust isn't there, or if it's misused, we are left feeling like a powerless emptied vessel. Too risky don't you think? No. Never. Not with Papa and Son's essence within us.

Are we ready to work with the Holy Spirit within us, to awaken the world to a new way of doing things? We don't have to be world changers. Simply touching one person, whomever Papa places in our lives today, makes all the difference upon this vast planet. Can it be that LOVE filled with compassion, determination, respect and dignity has finally moved beyond the confines? We'll see. We'll see.
