Love is a divine gift given to humanity

“There is no excuse good enough to ever be out of alignment with love. You’re going to get hurt, and you will feel pain. Yet your purpose is to keep loving, anyway. Keep moving forward with an open heart. Love is a Divine gift given to humanity. Wasting it is no longer an option. Love is what brings light to a dark place. Love is what transforms a dying world into a thriving planet.”
― Alaric Hutchinson, Living Peace: Essential Teachings for Enriching Life

Our only Purpose

“What I really learned was that life is a gift and our only purpose is to be who we are. We all make it so complicated, and try to find our purpose, I learned that all I have to do is be as me as I can be.”  —Anita Moorjani

Life is a Gift

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins

It is easy to get caught up in the struggles of life.  We can reach the point where the struggle becomes normal, just the way life is or even the way it is supposed to be.  Our lives become full of suffering and turmoil which we simply accept.  When we reach this point we can lose our enthusiasm for life, sometimes even wishing it would all just be over.

Life is not meant to be all struggle and suffering.  Life is good.  It is also a gift.  But whether we see it as a great gift we accept with joy or a horrible gift we complain about every day is up to us.

Please join me in celebrating the gift of life.

Put a little love in your heart

We end this month’s discussion on being led by love with a song that is just as relevant today as when it first came out in the 1960s.
