Humility.
Be completely humble and gentle.
Be patient,
Bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4.
2.
As I was reading this,
I was thinking about some of the relationships I have had and the relationships that I lacked in my life,
And how I have been loved and how I have loved.
In some instances,
I had set an idea of what the love would bring in return.
I had a pattern to cast judgments on how the other person showed me their love and then I would be resistant of it because it wasn't how I wanted it to look and feel.
Often it placed a lot of weight on my emotions and put up numerous walls,
Keeping new relationships from forming and current ones to crumble.
Since then,
I have done a lot of work internally and accepted Christ as my main squeeze.
This has given me a foundation to see all in his light just as they are.
As I tap into this choice of mind,
I become blind to the differences of every person.
All can be seen as one family of God and I continue to learn channeling the love of my empowered soul to all I meet.
The idea of love then becomes unditional and the foundation on which I give.
Leaving behind feelings and emotions that may rule my actions will then allow me to be able to see that love is a place within and not dependent on anything else.
No matter what the other person has been through,
Where the person is,
Or what the person has done,
I can hold the intention to be love without a personal agenda.
Looking at my brother as myself has humbled me to a great sense of gratitude in all that I experience.
I want to have both hard times as much as the ones in ease for I know they will all work together for his good.
Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change situations or others,
But by simply accepting things as they are.
In love,
True acceptance is always without demands and expectations.
We let each other experience exactly what we need to experience by forbearance and meekness and allowing the other to be as they see fit at that moment.
Standing back and sending love and support in whatever means that allows them to show love.
This makes way for the divide to narrow and the separation to be erased as we reach out in a shared space of humility,
Support,
And understanding.
As we do this,
An open space is then made available to love with our one mind.
Humility is a lesson for the ego,
Not the spirit.
Spirit is beyond humility because it recognizes its radiance and gladly sheds its light everywhere.
