Reaching For The Light ... p. 51

ABIDING SELF-WORTH

We are as nothing without Love: love of ourself and love of others. Love lies within the soul, the very core of our Being. Left to lie dormant and unused, our capacity for love ever diminishes such that we become but an empty shadow of who we are meant to be. When taken up and used, love is that which reveals our humanity and gives reason for our Being.

Love—in reality a divine providence—is accessible through the twin character traits of Selflessness and Truthfulness. These, in turn, require that, in all humility, we entrust ourself to God. Thus may we quiet the turmoil of the mind to reveal the Light of the soul and our divine spirituality. And only thus may we know peace within, coupled with a deep and abiding sense of self-worth. — Garry D. Kilbourn
