Thoughtful Thursday & Love Ability

I recently heard someone pose the question.

What was our Heavenly Parents’ main goal?

Was it just for us to return back to live with Them?

I don’t believe that was Their intent.

Why would They send us away only to have us merely return back to Them?

There had to be a greater purpose.

I believe, the main goal was for us to come to earth to learn, to grow, and to become like our Heavenly Parents.

To experience being human and all that comes with it.

A divinely designed classroom where we each have the opportunity to develop the skill of loving.

Learning to love God.

To love our neighbors.

And to love ourselves.

However, lovability and love ability are two different things.

Our value, worth and lovability are unchangeable.

Each human being is 100% valuable, worthy and lovable.

Love ability, on the other hand, is a person’s ability to love other people.

It is easier to love someone that we like and get a long with.

However, this creates very little growth.

The greatest growth happens when your love ability is challenged and tested by others who think, feel and act differently than you.

Every time you choose to deliberately feel love for someone who is challenging for you, you are strengthening and developing the skill of loving.

As you practice, you will become better and better at loving others.

Creating a life full of love.

Think of a person in your life who is difficult for you to love?

What is one way you can practicing loving them today?

Is that person you?

If so, that is a great place to start.

By learning to love yourself, you are more open to fully loving others.

Give it a try!
