The Book of Knowing and Worth
These are real questions and we understand them. But the first thing you must know is that the action of love never steals, never lies, never blames, never harms. The action of love, and the action of love as you, is only to gift your expression as love. When you tether love to an outcome that is born in your expectation, you will fail.
“I will love her as long as she . . .” “I will love this as long as I . . .”—you fill in the blank for yourself. Those are precursors to shutting off the valve that would express you as love. Now, what you do in the face of challenge, when you are confronted with something that you believe cannot be loved, is to decide that there is a new possibility. And we underline this: there is a new possibility.
As you understand the name that you have been given, “I know who I am, I know what I am, I know how I serve,” you claim your authority and thereby you claim your inheritance as the one in choice who may call the kingdom into being. The sacrifice that you make by doing this is fear, and all the things that you believe would keep you from loving another are born in fear.
“He did this, he cannot be loved. I will be fearful if he is loved.” “She is not allowed to be loved, look at what she has done, and the pain that she has caused. I will not love her.” You seal yourself, then, in your own cave and you write on the walls, again and again, all the reasons why it is not safe to love.
