Love Liberates

Recently, I watched an interview of Maya Angelou, and she made the statement, that Love always liberates. This statement resonated in a way that I have learned to recognize as something that is inspired or is from Spirit.

I began to think on how many times relationships are not founded on this kind of love. Many times relationships are more about controlling, owning, or conforming another to our designs or purpose and agendas. We do not always accept that each person has their own unique divine journey to discover their own gifts, and purpose.

Our part is to encourage, support and assist them to realize their full purpose and potential as we journey to discover and live ours as well. Relationships are actually partnerships for this purpose. To help each other grow and reach our fullest potential. It is then we are not threatened, nor jealous o r envious of another's success or growth. Because your success is also mine. Although our journeys and purposes may be unique we are in this life and journey together.

This kind of love, liberates not only those we love to discover who they really are, but also liberates us to love truly, and discover our true identity as well.

Love liberates, fear seeks to control and keep ......life is in it's simplest definition, "growth and change" if it isn't growing and changing it is dead or dying. A living, loving relationship is one where two are growing and transforming, a relationship that is not so defined is a dying relationship and is not founded on Love but rather fear......

My two cents.........
