Reflections on Love
Open your heart, listen, and remember the light within.
"I don't love you in spite of your flaws.
I love you more deeply because of them."
Love invites us to see ourselves and others with tenderness, to recognize beauty even in imperfection. These reflections are a quiet space to listen, to heal, and to remember the light that's always been yours.
Don't you know how much I love you?
Can't you feel it in your heart, in your bones, in your soul? Why will you not let yourself experience its fullness?
Why do you prefer to believe that you are unlovable, unworthy? What kind of story is that to tell yourself?
Why allow your head to be filled with, your life to be governed by, these lies?
You know, you must know, how wonderful you are, how amazing.
You are My child, you are My love.
You were made to live a miraculous, blessed life.
I love you like no other.
You are uniquely Mine, you are the manifestation of My glory. Feel My light, your light shine.
Let it shine for all to see. Don’t shrink from it, don’t be afraid of the enormous power and potential that
you hold. Realize it for the gift it is. Tap into it, explore it, use it.
Allowing yourself to receive My unconditional love will change your life.
I love you. And YOU should love you.
Why you don’t is a mystery to Me. Why you refuse to see your innate beauty and goodness perplexes Me. Why do you not believe that I made you exactly as you are to be? Why do you punish yourself, torture yourself for all that you think you’re not? You are a gift, not something to be abused or ignored. You deserve every goodness, every blessing that I have in store for you.
Believe that you are worthy, you are innately lovable, exactly as you are.
About the Firefly Imagery
Fireflies carry their light from within. They glow quietly in the dark, a reminder that love doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. Like love, their presence is gentle, luminous, and guiding. They speak to the kind of light and love that show up softly, just when it’s needed most.
You are allowed to love yourself, right here, right now, no matter how much you may feel you've disappointed yourself or others.
You are allowed to respect yourself and treat yourself with grace and kindness. You are allowed to be who you are – wear clothes that make you feel good, do things that make your heart sing, love who you love. Walk proudly, stand tall. Don’t you dare hang your head in shame or try to dampen and downplay your deepest desires. Do you question that you were made from love, made for love? To both give and receive it? Do you not believe that I made every square inch of you – both your strengths and your flaws? I don’t love you in spite of your flaws, I love you more deeply because of them.
Learn to love yourself for exactly who you are, exactly where you are, because there is nowhere else that matters more than right here, right now.
Love is all around you.
You insist that you are unlovable, but that only exists in your mind. It is what you tell yourself and it keeps you trapped, paralyzes you from moving forward and having the life that you want. Believe that there is enough love in the world for everyone, including you.
Believe that you are lovable, because you are.
You are My divine love.
Above all else, that is what defines you. You were created in love, and you were made to give love to all you meet. Don’t be afraid, don’t be put off by people’s negativity, their inattention, their inability to connect with you. So much that was once simple has been made difficult with the advent of technology. People put up facades, hide behind computers, smart phones, in an effort to avoid others, to keep themselves from really being seen, when the irony is that all everyone really wants is to be seen, be heard, be loved.
