This morning I was reading "The Daily Love" blog by Mastin Kipp and I had a powerful Aha moment. The statement he made about himself, that resonated with me was:
Another fear I have is letting love in. I know it sounds ironic for the guy who started "The Daily Love," right? Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again - we come to teach what we need to learn. And letting LOVE in is a hard thing for me to do. It's VERY easy for me to give LOVE. Giving is a form of power.
But letting in Love, letting in abundance, letting in all the things I truly want is scary because I could risk getting hurt.
Wow I had not realized how giving can be about power and control. But it makes sense, if others are beholden to you, they are less likely to reject or abandon you. However, this makes this kind of giving a counterfeit for love, with this as a motivation. What are my motives. Am I open to receive?
This makes us vulnerable and having to employ Trust but open to experience Love and growth.
Two questions, come from this mornings study:
1.) what are my fears?
2.) How are my actions and life manipulated by this fear?
Peace!
