Love Wins!

"What is love after all but trusting in the unknown."
- Marty Rubin

Love v Fear – Love wins every time!  

Love is our most powerful emotion.  It has the power to conquer fear any day, any time. One just has to trust it.  It’s trusting that love will prevail no matter what.  Love is hope; fear is dread. Love is freedom; fear is imprisonment.  Love creates opportunities, fear destroys opportunities. Love is peace of mind; fear is apprehensiveness.

I see people in relationships who do not tap into the power of love. There are so afraid of losing what they love, they are not able to harness the power of love. Instead, their focus becomes fear- based. Their actions are not motivated out of love, but out of the fear of losing love.  When fear goes unchecked, it can sabotage a relationship.  The Good Book reminds us that the thing we fear the most befalls us.  

Love is trusting in the unknown.   None of us really knows what today may bring and we certainly don’t know what tomorrow has in store for us.  In fact, we are not even guaranteed that there will be a tomorrow.  Tragedy strikes every day and none of us are immune to its consequences.  Death, loss, and impairment are all a part of life. Living in fear of things that can be taken away from us is like living in a prison cell.  You can never gain, if your focus is on what you have to lose.

So why does love win?  Love wins because love is a gift from God. Hence, the emotion of love is God created.  Whereas, the emotion of fear is man created.  We create our own fears - not God.  Love will always prevail - it is God given!

Love is trusting in the unknown.  It’s about casting aside doubt, fear, and trepidation. When you open your heart and are able trust in the unknown you’ll be able to harness the power of love.  And, when you harness the power of love, fear no longer has its grip on you.   Fear can always be cast aside by the power of love.  The power of love can never be cast aside by fear.   Why? Love is so much stronger!

If love and fear were able to square off in a boxing ring, you would hear at the end of the bout, “And still the undisputed champion of the world … LOVE!

So if you’re a betting person, and you have a choice between love and fear, always bet on love.  Why? Love wins, period!

It’s your life:  live it, love it & celebrate it!
