Love Archives - Creating a Sanctuary Within Our Hearts By Cari L. Murphy
Creating a
Sanctuary within our Hearts
When
we strive to fully open to the presence of love, we create a beautiful
sanctuary within ourselves. The real miracles in life make themselves known
when we surrender to life just as it is, knowing that we are all on our own
unique journeys here on this earth. When we consciously choose a position of
peace and acceptance with our lives, the miracle of love springs forth. When we
come into any situation willing to let it go, willing to ALLOW, and willing to
surrender to the beauty of each moment's spiritual perfection, we will
absolutely understand and feel the fullness and richness of inner peace.
As we strive to be fully open and recognize that
every event in our lives is purposeful, and that every event belongs to a
higher spiritual plan than we can presently recall or fully comprehend, we can
begin to look more deeply for the meaning that now seems to elude us.
The real miracles lie within the spiritual purpose
behind each event, NOT in the outer event itself. We can expand upon our
experiences by choosing to accept, trust, and move beyond the self imposed
limitations that come with feelings of punishment, betrayal and victimhood. In
every situation, we can go to that self-created sanctuary within our heart and ask:
"Why is this appearing in my life? What is the meaning of this?"
Miracles ask us to move beyond and break through
the limits of our own minds. They challenge our world view and urge us to
release any limiting perceptions and past interpretations of life so that we
can actually see the possibilities that lie beyond those self-created walls. It
is strange how tragedy can sometimes turn into an unanticipated blessing.
Sometimes the most challenging times in our lives can awaken us to a grander
purpose in our lifetime. Sometimes what appears to be taken away is the
greatest gift because it calls us forward and out of our shell and into our
life's purpose.
If we really want to feel peace in our lives, we
must choose to continually re-create and re-visit that sanctuary of purity and
love within our hearts. This is where we will discover the true miracles. The
more deeply we look into the inner workings of our experiences, the more signs
we will receive. These signs will remind us of the divine work and wisdom
underlying every situation and challenge.
Every single experience that we have can be raised
and lifted up through the immense power of unconditional love and acceptance.
The outside world inevitably reflects back to us the fruits of our thoughts and
actions. Peace can be found within our hearts when our hearts are open.
Miracles appear when we consciously shift from fear to love, from
self-protection to self-expansion, and from judgment of others and ourselves
into acceptance.
Do you have any idea how powerful an open,
accepting heart can be? Do you have any idea of the peace available to you when
you create your own inner sanctuary within your heart? There is so much joy
awaiting you. There is limitless love available to you. Are you willing to open
yourself to it ALL?
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love,
peace and blessings.
