The Diet That Always Works
-*-
The one thing we can never get enough of is love,
And the one thing we never give enough is love.
-- Henry Miller

I heard about a woman who is performing miracles with anorexic
and bulimic patients. She takes emaciated 50-pound women out
of the hospital and brings them to her home, where she holds
them, cradles them, looks into their tired eyes, and tells them, "I
love you . . . I want you to live . . . I believe in you." She has had a
remarkable success rate, far beyond any medical or psychotherapeutic
modality. She has cut past all intellectual models and belief systems,
and has gone to the core of our existence, the giving and receiving
of love.
A Course in Miracles tells us that every act we do is either an
expression of love or a call for it. Love is the only diet, therapy, or
activity that always works. When we cut past all our facades, many
of our actions stem from our need to now we are lovable. To love
ourselves and each other as we are, is to become utterly God like.
The next time people become upset with you, give them love. And
the next time you lose your peace, give yourself love. We are here
to love; nothing else will satisfy us.

I pray to love as You love.
Show me how to live from y heart.
-*-
I live to love, and I love to live.
