Spirit Speaks: Claim Love

Sometimes there are people in our lives, although few and far between, who hold for us an image of who we really are. They see us as whole, as completely lovable and acceptable – even when we cannot see ourselves this way. They hold this truth until we can hold it for ourselves. These are those rare and special individuals who want the best for us. When we lose a person like this, it often feels like it is a loss of self. This, however, is because we are still letting them hold for us our own lovability and acceptability. We can best honor them by claiming this for ourselves. Knowing full well, this is the gift they have given us – to show us who we are. We can thank them by being it. Know that love transcends time and space; this means it also transcends the body. We will always be connected through the vehicle of love. The more we claim the love in ourselves, the more connected we are to those we love.
