The purest form of love as I like to say blossoms from the fertile ground of awareness. Throughout human history, we have all seen or heard the ongoing debate surrounding the influence illuminating this truth: true reclamation of our strength cannot be achieved without intertwining awareness and love. By cultivating such awareness, we sharpen our ability to discern even the most subtle energies that either elevate our spirits or weigh us down like heavy anchors.
Awareness is not a passive state; it is a dynamic understanding of our surroundings, an eye-opening recognition of patterns and influences that shape our existence. Awareness allows us to look beyond the clutter of external noise, revealing the path to authenticity, what is genuinely ours, and what belongs to the world around us.
Though I have heard on several occasions that awareness is love. God’s love, however, is as unwavering and consistent as the warmth of sunlight. It radiates through our lives with a brilliance that increases our awareness and informs us to protect our thoughts, words, and actions with care, the Bible emphasizes this in Proverbs 4:23. This divine love covers us, flooding our thoughts and minds with clarity. And most importantly, it guides us toward a more profound understanding of ourselves and our purpose in every area of our lives.
In order to cultivate and enhance such awareness; we must practice mindfulness while meditating in God’s words with a renewed sense of humility. We must become more receptive to the lessons of love and the whispers from God while fostering a clearer connection with ourselves and with others.
Love is such a simple awareness when our hearts are open and our minds are calm.
-Harold W. Becker
