Many of you are probably familiar with this passage from the Bible (at least the last half of it), and yet I will wager that most of you have not considered the following very important corollary thereto:

If it is indeed so that the Truth sets us free, then it is just as true that everything that constricts us & everything that confines us & everything that limits us … is not the Truth.

Indeed, for our LOVE to truly BE, our LOVE must be freely chosen,
& for our LOVE to be freely chosen, we must first be truly Free.

So go forth today and break the chains that bind you, my Friends.
Find & face the fears that are dampening your resolve & the obligations that are hindering your options & the vows that are strangling the potential Power of your LOVE …

Face them, grasp them, and rip them off your Soul …
And then go forth anew; bold & reBorn.

Go forth and be Free …

Go forth and Be LOVE.

Amen … Let it be so.

P.S. In case you were wondering, in the Bible, Jesus himself defines both his Way and his “Word” as LOVE, the verb …

Peace.

“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples: if you show Love for one another.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:35)

*the Greek for “truth” in this passage (“alētheian” – Gk 225) refers to more than mere scientific accuracy or spoken honesty. Rather, this particular Greek word speaks to Truth as an ideal — an objective understanding of Universal Reality; the Truth as felt and known in the moral sphere; the Divine Truth as revealed to man via “angel” or conscience (In other words: LOVE, the verb) … (see John 14:6-7+15-17)
