Around 12 years ago, I started to look for a divine response to my questions that transcended religious doctrine, morality, philosophy and what I thought was common sense and I started asking God for more. In fact, I asked for a very personal sign from God that would show his love for me. Strangely enough, I knew for this to be possible that I had to allow myself to be vulnerable, sensitive and needy. I also knew that I needed to try as hard as I could to open my spirit, heart and mind to receive more, by acknowledging that I needed more.
By wanting more and needing more, I was finally admitting that everything I thought I knew and everything I was or had… WAS NOT enough to meet all my needs or my deepest desires. As I dug deeper into my own wants and needs, I found myself happily admitting that I desperately needed more from God and so I asked God for more love, more truth, more hope and more beauty. Strangely enough, in finally acknowledging and speaking these truths, I realized that I needed to do more than talk to God and I needed to literally open my eyes to start looking and open my mouth to start asking for what I really wanted and needed.
By doing all this admitting, I was unknowingly confessing and by confessing these deep truths, truth was creating a space in me to receive something that would be vital to my health, my life and my becoming the person I was designed to be. And so it happened…I asked for more and I looked for more, and not only did I get the sign I asked for, but I received a wave of love and truth that has completely transformed the way I Breathe, Listen, Ask, Look and Move in my daily life. You would not believe my life, my story or this crazy stubborn love that pursues me relentlessly, puts Xs everywhere in my life and gives me deep rest. Without a doubt, I am continually filled up with love, truth, hope, dreams, peace, and God’s goodness.
I tell you this story, because I want you to remember that you have everything you need to receive what I have been given. All you have to do is ask, and courageously look and listen. Acknowledge your need, be vulnerable-it’s glorious, be sensitive-it’s necessary and create the space to receive an infinite amount of love and truth.
Today, I want you to ask yourself if you do want more?? If you do, then like John Mayer says, “If you want more love then why don’t you ask for it.” Yes!!! Say it with me, “I want more love, I want more love, I want more Love!!!” Trust me, this is who you need to remember who how freaking amazing you are and how you are naturally designed to be loved, loved, loved. Only you can enter this magical and mysterious quest for love and truth by telling the truth that you want more, you were made for more and you desperately need more love and truth.
