DEEPER

Love, real love, gets taken advantage of all the time. Unfortunately,  it’s in its very nature to be abused—never wanting it (that would be sick) but rather, willing to accept it—willing to absorb abuse in order to diminish or remove its power. This kind of love is different from egoic love that loves for the sake of gaining advantage--love that only gives for what it can get.

This love is deeper.

”Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” (I Peter 4:8) Whoever the ancient was who penned these wise words, they had a much deeper definition of love than the one we typically use.

We can stay right where we are, keep doing what we’re doing and love with this depth of love. We can love others with a love that covers whatever we don’t like about them—that even covers what they say or do that offends our ego.

Perhaps what’s most amazing about this love is this: When we live it, we make the delightful discovery that we can love ourselves with the same forgiving and freeing love.

Today life will bring us more than enough experiences in which to love with this kind of love. Let’s pick just one...and practice taking our love to the next level. Deeper.
