The
God in me Greets the God In You
By Rose Whaley.
I
was going to talk about love relationships between men and women. Instead
the creator said, for now, tell them about the real love that is within
us. We just need to tap into what’s already there. In order to feel real
love, we must give it to ourselves first. It comes up through us and goes
out into the universe. So we are receiving it. Love is gentle, compassion,
forgiving, honesty, and appreciating self.
I could talk about many of
my experiences with relationships. Some would be interpreted as bad or
good, but for me they all were good. I had one mate, I thought I was
really in love with and wanted him to stay in my life .
When he left me, I found myself. I found
the greatest love of all inside of me. All my relationships gave me the
opportunity to learn, grow and move on. They all were part of my life’s
lessons. Some fun, exciting, challenging, as well as painful. I will
elaborate more about them in the book. What I called love, I learned was a
form of attachment, That attachment was out of fears, rejection, low self
esteem, worthlessness, co-dependency, lack, or just not feeling whole.
I am going to talk about one of my experiences that
taught me the truth about unconditional love. This love or truth made me
realize that true love is just what it is, Love! It does not matter who or
what you are loving. My son Cliff has a pit bull (dog) named Golden. No
one would ever convince me that I would be living with a pit bull because
I was afraid of them. Cliff got Golden about five years ago, when he was a
puppy. I had a cat named Spike first, but I grew to love Golden very much,
and he loved me. Later there was another pit puppy added to the family.
Her name was Diamond. Now! I was sleeping with two pits at the bottom of
my bed. Don’t forget the cat. I was surrounded by the love of these
animals.
Diamond, had nine puppies later. I
observed and learned so much about unconditional love from my experience
with them. I will never forget how the love came up and through me for
those nine puppies. They all were unique. The lessons I received from this
situation was patience and unconditional love.
On December 11, 1997, I returned home
from the store. The pits met me at the door with bloody faces. They fought
and killed my cat. I was hurt and in shock, but not surprised. Spirit had
been preparing me for weeks of Spike’s departure to return home. It was
hard for the veterinarian to believe that two pits had attacked my cat.
Everything was still in tact. The cat was not ripped apart. There were no
open wounds, about three hours later my cat had died (his brain was
crushed). I screamed and cried, I felt the pain deep inside. After a few
days, I knew it would be all right. That day my son felt my pain and he
was hurt and angry, he wanted to have both of the dogs put to sleep. But I
would not allow this to happen, we still loved them, and he was attached
to Golden. That day he gave Diamond to a friend to love and take care of
her. When he returned I was in my bed, Golden was there with me. I was
caressing his head. I knew he did not want me to be hurting. When he heard
me crying he would hide or lower his head. When Cliff returned home that
day and saw me with Golden he said “How can you still love him?’, I
said “How can I not?” I did not lose one pet I lost two. I still miss
them both. But the love is still there.
A few days later out of the corner of my
right eye. I kept seeing flashes of bright pretty golden light. This
occurred for an hour. I knew for sure my cat was where he was suppose to
be and he was all right. I love you Spike!
January 11, 1998 , I adopted another cat
who had been abused. Who brings me joy. He is loving and funny. I love him
very much, his name is Houdini. It is our time to be with each other for
now.
Love is everywhere, you just have to tap
into it. Just open yourself up to receive all there is. Your cups too
shall runneth over. GOD LOVES YOU!!
