Honey

The flowers are full of honey, but only the bee finds out the sweetness.

Life is a flower of which love is honey. Turn all things to honey; this is the law of divine living.

You don’t need to look to others for approval and love. The power to experience complete and full love is within you. Learn how to find love for yourself that radiates out to others.

Remember, in our inmost being, we are all completely lovable because spirit is love. Beyond what anyone can make you think or feel about yourself, your unconditioned spirit stands, shining with a love nothing can tarnish.

All of us have the innate need to love and be loved. When we are born, we enter the world with a pure expectation of unconditional love.

Sadly, this is not the experience most people get. Early in life, we learn that love can be withheld from us, whether well intentioned or not, by those who are closest to us. People, often unknowingly, let pain from their past dictate their approach to love. They erect barriers or use love as a reward. Such behavior causes us to believe that in order to receive love, we must act a certain way. Equally important, when we have experiences where love is withheld from us, we begin to question whether or not we are actually worthy of love.

Because of those hurts and wounds, over time, we can come to believe we are flawed, and that those flaws are the reasons why we are not worthy of love. We start to judge ourselves for perceived flaws, withholding unconditional self-love, which then causes us to feel incomplete.

The Root of Love
The problem is that we look outside for love and approval, but our relationships reflect back to us what we think and feel about ourselves on the inside. When we are attracted to a person, what we are actually drawn to are the traits we feel we lack and the characteristics we want more of.

In order to fulfill our unmet needs for worthiness and love, we must learn to love ourselves fully. What we really seek is to reconnect with that unconditional love lying deep within the heart of our beings. To find true love, we must look inward and reclaim our own self-love.
