Love-Able And Lovable

We spend a lot of time looking for the notoriously, elusive, all encompassing euphoria also known as LOVE.

Would we know if we've had the love we're looking for.. what if we've already discounted it because we're so unwilling to allow it?

We search for love, even when it's raining down on us - all the while wondering why we can't feel it or have it.
We can't feel love when we're actually the one holding the umbrella of doubt that repels it's nourishing sweetness.

Whether it comes to us in words or actions, a steady rain or a light shower.. if we cannot identify it as love, absorb it and allow it to soak in, we will always feel that love is eluding us. Receiving love depends greatly on whether or not you BELIEVE you are LOVABLE. If you don't believe you are lovable, you will never be able to receive LOVE because you won't feel worthy of having it. It's ironic.. we seek others to give us the love that we are so unwilling to give ourselves. We look for a partner to love us in a way that we have yet to learn, believing they are responsible to fill in what we lack.
If we can lower our defenses and allow ourselves to see that the love showered on us is truly a reflection of what we already are - we will feel that we are not only lovable but LOVE-ABLE and deserving of giving and receiving a love beyond our expectations.
