Our true self is like that pearl of great price or treasure buried in a farmer's field. It's like a beautiful, glistening radiant diamond, carved and shaped and worn as the most precious jewel as a forever keepsake from a lover. Only, the Lover is our beloved Father Creator and the diamond is our eternal spirit which he has always and will always love as His own self buried within us. We were created in love and live in love. We are beloved forever and always will be.
Yet, sometimes it just doesn't feel like that. The past has darkened our hearts leaving an ashy footprint in the ruined days it caused us, and when we look into the future through the lens of the past, it looks just as bleak. It's been a long time since love graced the doors of our hearts and life has been a long thankless, tedious, empty journey. Where did the hope for a bright future go? Where is the music that sang in the heart?
The past was only our perception anyway, just as the birth of the future will also be from this moment on. How will it be? Will it be darkened by the ashes of our past, or can we leave the past behind and create our future with new hope, a new vision. Without a new story, we will perpetuate the old one, chapter after chapter, year after year. We will drag the old into the pristine new future, only to darken it too. It's time for a new story.
The new story is the one we write, not the one that was etched into our lives by others. It will require courage, trust, faith, and a genuine, sincere, desire for something better, something new. It is our story. It is our life. It's time to cut the cords to the past. It's over, so we have to let it go. The future is ours to dream new life into being just as a fresh new canvas calls to our inner artist. How beautiful do we want it to be? How colorful, how alive, how radiant, how joyous? What, where, when, how and with whom do we want to live our new life? The possibilities are endless. Life is long. Life is good. Life is joy. Life is a gift given to us by the great lover of life itself. As love is the ultimate inspiration for creation, there is no situation that love can't remedy. The solutions are endless - as endless as life itself and love itself. It is all good. All of it.
