The love we desire is already within us.

-- A Course in Miracles

         God is love.  That is where we must begin.  We cannot expect to have a loving relationship with our family, mate or children until we heal our individual relationship with God.  In ancient traditions all life was centered around the Creative Force and its elements. Our ancestors had a wholesome respect for the Creator and all creations.  They honored the earth for support, the sun for the life force and themselves as expressions of creation.  Today we relate to one another's ego.  We want to please one another because of who we are or what we have.  We hold people in awe; we want people to fulfill our needs; we demoralize ourselves and one another for what we believe is love.  God is love.  That's it!  God does not give presents.  God does not have needs.  God does not argue.  God does not make threats.  God does not feel abandoned.  God does not deal with rejection.  The only thing God does is love you and that is the only reason you are here.

The only relationship I will seek today is a relationship with love.
