The Miracle of Christmas - The Power of Love

Christmas is a reminder of love, of giving. It stems back to the ultimate love story - the love of the infinite for the finite. The Creator for his creatures. The pure for the unpure. Of ultimate and unconditional love for the unloved. Beauty for the non-beautiful. It is a reminder of the love of God towards his creatures. It is not a mere myth of baby in a manger, helpless, adored, swaddled. It is powerful, glorious, stunning in its glory. It is like a shot from heaven for the faltering creatures, faltering from lack of love, meaning and hope. The ultimate power fuel, love potion, energizer.

The law of attraction is all very revealing as to how like attracts like, but the universe is not merely at our beckoning or a genie whose wish if our command. Ask- and the life of our dreams will be created. It must be in line with universal principles and values for it to be meaningful. There needs but if there is no values behind the thing you are attracting, the core values, it becomes devoid of meaning, of worth. It becomes merely a mechanism whereby one magnifies and attracts what one is thinking of, without proper guidance.

If we indulge in disaster thinking it attracts the same. If we indulge in values that last, it will come.  It requires core values to make it meaningful. And in our hearts we must know what to ask for. Not that luxury car or luxury house or that girlfriend you want to have.  Sometimes we may not know what it is that we truly want. And we attract the very thing that does not allow our full happiness or that can lead to untoward consqequences. Love attracts love. Ultimate love attracts our gratitude, love, and giving in return. It is life changing. The power of love is the greatest

" There is no limit, because God is love and love is God. And so you are really in love with God, and God's love is infinite."  Mother Teresa

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. Btu in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."  CS Lewis

Life is meaningless without love. To love and be loved is the ultimate of all human existence. The reason for living, the driving force towards accomplishments, value, blessings, life itself.  Love breaks all barriers, conquers all, overcomes all. And what a blessing it is to know that intimately that we were created in love, to love, and we are going back to love. Love is our origin and our destiny. Love is as strong as death. Love is stronger than death. Love knows no boundaries, 

And where heaven touches earth, where Heaven's love illuminates our hearts and minds- is the essence of Christmas- and the power of Easter.  Colors become brighter because of love. Events become meaningful when done with love, in love. Reaching back to where we are, in love, to love, for love.

With open hearts, open yourself to love, beauty and joy today.

Love.

Blessings and love for the season and always.
