Love Is NOT What You Want

Neale Donald Walsch, author of the magnificent Conversations with Godseries and one of my favorite people on the planet, often sends out an inspirational message, here is a recent one I thought was especially profound:

On this day of your life, Arielle, I believe God wants you to know…

…that love is not what you want, it is what you are. It is very important to not get these two confused.

If you think that love is what you want, you will go searching for it all over the place. If you think love is what you are, you will go sharing it all over the place.
The second approach will cause you to find what the searching will never reveal.

Yet you cannot give love in order to get it. Doing that is as much as saying you do not now have it. And that statement will, of course, be your reality.
No, you must give love because you have it to give.
In this will you experience your own possession of it.

For those of you who continue to have doubts that you deserve to have a soulmate, this message is a reminder to take time each day to remember and experience the love that you are.
