Our true nature is love

We can pursue wealth, power, success, or happiness, but what matters is the authenticity of our actions as measured against our core beliefs. Since love is our true nature, when we open our hearts we'll discover that it feels natural to make love our central, guiding thought every day.

Whatever we do, we'll do it in the ways that best express our true nature: love.

Trust love's power to make barriers disappear

The world tells us about strong barriers … about insurmountable walls … and about irreparable divisions. The world says hatred is deep-rooted and permanent.

Love tells us otherwise.

Love says barriers are illusions and urges us to picture a new reality where there are no walls, divisions, or hatred. This new reality is not something to be made; it's the true nature of life that love helps us discover.

When we open our hearts and allow love to assume its rightful place in our lives and in the world, there are no barriers.

"It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."-1 Corinthians 13:7-8

Open your heart

Try this meditation whenever love stirs your heart, and especially when you feel that love is being blocked or challenged.

Take a moment to relax your body and quiet your mind. As you become comfortable, imagine the love in your heart expanding to embrace your family and friends, your home, your job. Picture the pure, radiant love of God flowing from your heart into your world.

Affirm: I am open to the beauty of God in all things and all people.
