FAITH in Love, not FEAR

"Fear-False Evidence Appearing Real
Faith-Full Assurance In The Heart"

-Username ChristineKV from HubPages.com

The first acronym she uses reminds me of the first conversation that the Love of My Life and I had several weeks ago. We had been texting and he had a breakthru he wanted to share with me, so he called. That conversation was so intense and real, and it was the first time I had ever felt any sort of resolve with him and the relationship we had.

He shared with me that he finally realized why all the work he had been doing to learn to love himself wasnt working. He always had loved himself, he had just forgotten that he did, so OF COURSE the work wasnt working! I felt a familarity with this concept as soon as he shared it. It made sense to my mind and my heart-so rare! What immediately came up for me was that Love could not exist at the same time as Fear. The two are mutually exclusive.

So, if I love myself, and always have, then I could not possibly be scared about ANYTHING. All the fear I felt was an illusion, a fairy tale my ego had cooked up and imagined. Because I do love myself, in my heart and my mind-my ego just makes me forget sometimes.

It was perfect for me to find these acronyms today to remind me that the Fear isnt real. Only Love exists, and I know because I feel it deep in my heart. I have Full Assurance In my Heart that Love surrounds me. And the minute I remember that I love myself, I no longer feel the desperation that was overcoming me.
