Living Love-Centered

Valentine's Day is next week and all around us are candies, flowers and hearts.  It is a day to celebrate
Love!  But we don't need a special day to celebrate Love, we can celebrate Love or live Love-centered everyday!

Jesus' two commandments were Love-centered: "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all you mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.  And second is equally important: 'Love you neighbor as yourself.' All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments." (Matthew 22: 37 - 40)  In John 13:34 - 35 Jesus said " So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."

Jesus lived Love-centered.  He may have had disagreements with others, but he Loved All.  He even got into trouble with the Jewish leaders because he did not discriminate his Love to others.  When we live Love-centered, our decisions and actions are Love-centered.  We choose to love, not hate; we choose to help, not hurt; we choose to live in faith, not in fear.  Not only does this effect us, but it effects are all  around us. We are changing the race consciousness when we live Love-centered - one person at a time.

Let us begin each day connecting to  the Divine  within each of us; connecting to the Love, connecting to
the "Kingdom of God...".   As we go through our day, we express love, effecting all around us.

Live Love-Centered each day, not just for one day in February. Let's change the world!!

Namaste
