What Is The Meaning of Love?
Written by Petey Silveira
Love is actually defined as “an intense feeling of tender affection and compassion.”
What a wonderful feeling to be so intense. Most of the time we tend to think of intense feelings as negative, such as anger or sadness. But you can change your perception and think about feelings of love and joy as intense instead. When you do that, what will happen differently in your life?
Your love will send beams of light to all who choose to receive it. Love will be felt in your heart, seen in the sparkle of your eyes, and shown by your gentle touch.
Light will emanate from your aura. It will ripple outwards in waves of pink, purple and gold. All that your loving light touches will feel this intensity emanating from you. They will feel your warmth and bask in this loving light. A feeling of peace and goodness will spread throughout the world from you having touched their lives.
Love seems to be such a simple word, yet it is layered with infinite meanings. When you say you love someone you are giving your relationship a deeper significance. It is one of a very special caring nature where your hearts feel joined as one.
When you speak of love on a spirit level, you are becoming joined as one with spirit. When love is in the space that occupies you and another, there will be warmth and the presence of spirit.
There is no difference, or is there?
One type of love is human in nature and the other is spiritual. Is one more significant than the other? Or when we say we love another, are we really joining with them in spirit as well?
To me, there is no difference. There becomes a quiet reverence for the relationship you are choosing. Even when there are challenges or disruptions in some regard, the true intention of the relationship is regained in its entirety and form when balance becomes a part of it once again.
Whose soul will you brighten this day as you send them your love and light?
Please remember that your soul is waiting for your expression of love just as much as another you value.
Sending you much love and light this day!
