Soul Love

You’ve heard it before…

“Be grateful for what you have.”

“Count your blessings.”

“What if you woke up tomorrow with only what you gave thanks for tonight?”

Now think about this…

“I am grateful I’m alive, breathing, healthy.”

“I am blessed to have a sharp mind, keen intuition, and strong emotional connections with other beautiful souls.”

“Thank you for my soul, for creating it so uniquely, and for saving it.”

What if we weren’t only grateful for the THINGS we have?

I am a soul. I inhabit a body. My body inhabits this Earth. This Earth inhabits this vast universe. That soul, though…it’s not insignificant.

I’m not just “a” soul. I am MY soul. God made it, He saved it, and He lives in it. My soul holds the essence of God himself. It was created in His image as part of His divine plan. He is love…unfathomable love…and that love made my soul. My soul is love.

That’s BIG. That love…just wow! It’s hard to comprehend! THAT is worth extraordinary gratitude.

So how could we forget? How could we forget that we don’t just have souls, but we ARE wonderfully-made souls?

So why can’t we remember? Why can’t we remember that those around us ARE wonderfully-made souls, too?

So where does the love go? Why do we more quickly operate from our heads and our egos to judge, justify, belittle, condemn, compare rather than operate from our souls full of love, made from love?

I want to do better at being thankful for my soul. I want to safeguard it. I want to nurture it. I want to operate from it.

I want to do better at looking at other people as souls, too. I want to be more thankful for another’s soul. I want others’ souls protected and preserved. I want others’ souls nurtured. And oh, how I wish everyone could operate from their souls.

Be gracious for the soul that you are. Start with self-awareness, and look deeply into how you operate on the daily and from where you tend to operate. Take care of your beautiful soul, and let love guide you. Without that soul and all that love, I’m not sure any of those material things matter much anyway.
