Worthy of Love

I was sitting in church the other day, thinking of how impressive that it is that Jesus chose to go and die for those that were not showing a loving attitude.  Indeed, many were actively working against him. Given the choice, I don't know how readily I would feel like making the same decision with those that are choosing selfish, manipulative, and hurtful motives.  As I reflected on this in prayer, I felt like God was saying everyone was worthy of love. Well, that caused a defensive reaction within me, as I reflected on exes and others that had chosen to either intentionally harm me or neglect me.  But, as I reflected on it, more, I realized that loving them doesn't mean that I have to choose to be around them.  I can choose to find those who I can love who also loves me and wish my exes to find love that works for them without choosing that person to be me in that toxic environment.  Like I would wish for them, I am worthy of receiving love, myself.  Indee...

Great Adventure

Recently, I've been living the most amazing romance of my life, better than anything I have known. It is at one time everything I have wanted and so much I've never experienced, which has caused me so much bad wiring of what I'd expect to be re-written.  It's been a healing and liberating process as things about myself I felt I had to hide are valued and desired and things I felt the need to prove are shows to be unnecessary in pure love.. for me... not for what I can provide.  It's wonderful. Sometimes, I feel the old world voice coming at me ... questioning my purpose or gauge of success in the relationship.  It tends to go to old standards.  As a man, that can go to what you provide and do for her. Providing and doing ARE good things to do, but it's a new world.  And, I'm in love with an equal partner, who lovingly receives my care but also likes to SHOW her care..  another very good but completely new experience for me.  So, when she provides, I do...
