What Would LOVE Do?

What would love do NOW??!!

If I really love myself and my child…what should I do now??

When you are not sure what to do, this really is the most powerful question and perhaps the only question, you ever need to ask yourself….

Whether you are a parent, unsure what to do in a difficult situation with your children, or whether you are dating, married or in any relationship whatsoever, you really can make better, more loving decisions through asking yourself this question. If you are unsure what path to take in a difficult situation at work, or with a friend, family member or even a stranger on the street… What would love do? Which path speaks to your HEART? Try it! Ask: “If I really love myself and if I really love this person…what should I do now?”

Before you REACT to a difficult or frustrating situation…STOP…and ASK…Is this what love would do? If not, take a deep breath, and choose to act out of love, rather than re-act out of anger, frustration, resentment, or whatever other emotion you may be feeling. Perhaps what love would do is take some time to cool off, to think, to go for a walk, whatever it takes to get back into your “heart space”, so that you can calmly and lovingly discuss and resolve the situation.

Just for today…. make everything you think, say, and do…come from a place of love.

If you truly love yourself, and you truly love others, you must SHOW your children what LOVE looks, feels and sounds like:

Are the thoughts you’re holding loving thoughts about yourself and others?

Are the words you speak, coming from your heart?

And finally, are the actions you are taking coming from a place of love?

“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.”
– Eva Burrows

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” - 1 Corinthians 13:4

Love is the question. Love is the answer. And love is our reason for being.

Love IS…all there is.
