Understand that it is not the happenings in your life that shape you but your response to them that determines the quality of your character and life. Love is foundational to your very existence and thus rooting yourself in love is turning back to Source. Love informs your very existence allowing you to find your strength in love so that the happenings on your earthly sojourn will not break you nor imbitter you, but instead elevate you, connecting you with the sacred within you. Choosing to find your strength in love will transform you; gifting you with the assurance that you are enough and that you will be OK, no matter the circumstances life situates you in.

When you choose to find your strength in love you will recognize that the happening in your life is not happening to you but for you; as it helps you to connect with the sacred within you, allowing you to intuit responses that are in alignment with your highest good.

Love is the Divine energy that imbues you with unfathomable strength to perform great feats, endure terrible hardships and thrive at living wholeheartedly. So, fear not to love, because losing yourself in the agony and ecstasy of love helps to unveil your true self. Yes, love requires you to be courageous enough to open your heart in order to give and receive love, which makes you vulnerable to the agony of being hurt as much as delighting in the ecstasies love brings. Understand that no love is lost and know that the wounds of love necessitate the inward journey that brings healing and enhances your capacity to love unconditionally.

Love is a strength. Love is the “why” of life. It answers the “why” of your existence as the myriad forms of love refines you, ridding you of the dross that buries your true essence. Love ignites the warrior of light spirit within you that recognizes that love conquers all; that it is your destiny. It is love that gives you the strength to get out of your comfort zone and dare to blossom into the fullness of you by living your life wholeheartedly. Therefore, let love underwrite your every thought, word, and deed, knowing that it will give you the necessary strength to live your best possible life.

 It is the strength of love that helps you to overcome the vagaries of life. It helps you to cope with agonizing grief over the loss of a loved one and strengthens you to carry on; bringing forgiveness and healing, as it gently fans the flame of hope of a better tomorrow. It is the strength of love that spurs you into mounting heroic rescue attempts against impossible odds-risking life and limb to ensure the welfare of your loved ones. It is loving that strengthens you to overcome adversaries and adversities, to endure trials of extreme hardships and it is love that imbues you with the boldness to tackle injustices perpetrated against you or another. It is love that gives you the strength to put into practice the virtuous attributes known as the fruit of the spirit, namely love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, kindness, and self-control; all these qualities are reliant on the strength imparted by love. One can feel the quiet strength of those that have suffered greatly exude because they have remained rooted in love and didn’t derive their strength from tapping into negative emotions such as malice, hatred, vindictiveness, and fear.

You can tell when strength is derived from a negative attitude for it tends to disempower you, as it is fear-based. Fear-based strength tends to rob you of living wholeheartedly. This results in you enduring life, shackled to a victim mentality that usurps your birthright of living a gloriously fulfilled life. Therefore, take heed and decide to find your strength in love so that you can blaze forth triumphantly, not allowing the vagaries of life to rob you of your crown of wellbeing, which is priceless.

I trust that these powerful quotes will help you realize that finding your strength in love imbues you with the boldness to live life unapologetically and fearlessly.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage - Laozi

Love strengthens you to withstand temptation, to be your best self, to do good, to be good, not to fuss and fight or be disloyal. Your love for another awakens a protective instinct to protect them at all costs that helps you to be courageous when needed, to ensure their continued welfare. You want the best for them, and you will do whatever it takes to ensure their continued happiness and safety.
