Last, week, I shared with you something very painful; the
loss of the love of my life. If you will
recall, I talked about how difficult it was to reconnect to my heart and regain
the trust we each must have in order to
love – or learn to love – again.
Even before the
death of this special woman, I was all too familiar with the loss of precious
things and precious people. As a young
child, I lost my innocence because of sexual abuse, which led to abusive and
dysfunctional adult relationships. I
lost both parents when I was 15; my best friend when I was 18; my younger
brother when I was 19; another dear friend when I was 25, and the list could go
on and on.
It takes my breath
away just writing about it.
I could have
shriveled up and lost it. But I refused
to give in to the anger and I was determined to learn how to trust again. And I believe that because I would not allow
myself to stop trusting, a new love came into my life…and what a love she is! We have a relationship that is soaring to
heights I have never experienced before.
For me, Trust was
the beginning of it all. Some believe
that the word “trust” is interchangeable with the word “faith.” I call trust faith in action. Once I had trust, my faith certainly grew; but
before trust, my faith was unstable at best. My trust began with my understanding of my
relationship with The Divine Mother/God/Higher Power and Her relationship to us
all. Once I was able to get a grip on my
understanding of our relationship, I found a trust unlike any I ever had before.
In the next couple
of weeks, I’m going to talk about the other two essentials – Acceptance and
Forgiveness – that, along with Trust, comprise the foundation of my life. I’ll explain how we must understand and embrace
these three fundamentals in order to find true love.
