Love is our only function.

Love is our only function. That is why we are here.
​
Whenever Angus leads our morning Daily Word prayer meeting, he includes the line: Love is my only function – that is why I am here. I recognise it from in A Course in Miracles, which to me, is a book about love.
Picture
It was very timely for me this morning. I have been grappling with a recent situation that had upset me and my mind was engaged in what to say and what to do about it. Have you noticed how our mind does this … the internal thoughts of ... this is not what I want … this is not right … etc. Our minds want to blame, fix, justify; but the amount of energy this takes is ridiculous.
 
We all need reminders about what is important: putting God first in our experience. Many of us have an affirmation we use over again, to remind us of our true nature and God in our midst. For me, when Angus read this line, it was as if the wind was released from the sails of my mind. Instead of going full steam ahead (or round in circles), all the physical, mental and emotional energy just disappeared and I relaxed into the presence of love. It was a beautiful experience – one of freedom and release. Thank you Angus.
 
Of course, love is my only function – this is why I am here. How does love in me wish to respond? In a way that understands, connects, listens and allows me to look after myself in the right way, as well as look after that which is in my domain to do.
 
If you ask the question, what is love? My best answer is go to 1 Corinthians 13. If we all lived from this teaching, there would be no conflict or war. Yet first, we must connect with love as the Truth of us.
 
I invite you to know love as your True Self – surrender into the Presence – allow it to beautifully connect you with You and those around you. Then watch the blessings flow.
 
PS Do you have a favourite affirmation you like to use? Do email me and we will put them up on the website.
