Experiencing charity!

While listening to a song about Christ I was reminded about a thought I had even before I began writing this blog. The thought is, "Everyone needs to have someone on this earth that they have felt charity from." What I mean by this is that everyone should have the opportunity to be loved unconditionally by another human being that is here on the Earth. What a great blessing it is to have another person care for and love you always and not with conditions. This has a great significance to it. When they extend this unconditional love to you, you then desire to reciprocate it back to them. This allows for the creation of an individual to blossom. Observing firsthand more of what Christ is like. I believed that I first experienced this from my parents. I could always feel love from them. My parents told us that they loved us but what I remember most is that I always felt it from them. It was something I just knew. This simple knowledge created inside of me a desire to please and honor them. There were plenty of times when I did not listen or didn't do this/that, but the overall bigger decisions in life were easier to make.
Now, I have an advantage in raising my own children. While I am still learning and progressing I am becoming more charitable and loving to them. Yet they without trying are very charitable to me, which I hope in turn, they can pass down to their children.
Currently the person who fulfills my earthly charitable love is my wife. Even when I forget something important or when she gets after me, I can still and always feel this underlying love that shines through her to me. Which makes me want to try and help and honor her more, as she is me. What a great blessing it is to have someone who loves you right here on this Earth unconditionally.
So, now I invite you to seek out this person that has or does love you unconditionally. How has that made you feel? What has this taught you? If you feel you have not experienced charity here in your life, remember the quickest way to receive it is to give it out first. Pick another person(s) and go serve them. Love them like you want to be loved and then you can experience charity for yourself here, obeying the greatest commandments-Loving God first and your neighbor as yourself.
All of this stems from one source-Christ and his goodness. It is from him that all good is found which flows to us for ourself and others. Charity-the pure love of Christ!

Love towards others

I want to share some experiences that I have had since applying the affirmation, "I am love, I am charity!" My business has grown as I have decreased my fears. Originally my intent was to become more like Christ! Fear is not from Christ! Thus, as I have started to shift I have noticed less fear which is being replaced with love and charity towards myself, others and Christ. I am reaching out more because I feel a greater literal love inside for my fellow being. This is still a stretch for me as I am moving out of my comfort zone to talk to and help others.
While driving home I had a SUV pull in front of me. Obviously, there was enough room to fit since we did not crash. It was a little close, but I have always had the motto, "That is not a big deal, since I have done it to others and will probably not intentionally do it again." At this time it was different. As I went through the scenario in my head like I had before, "Oh that is not a big deal...." and instead of finishing the statement as I had so many times, I felt this overwhelming emotional love come through me, gushing out all over me. The sentence was finished for me and by me with, "...because I love you!" Whoa! I was a little emotional as I relished in this moment. Feeling an overwhelming love for my unknown neighbor in a SUV that moved over in front of me. I knew this moment would fade so I tried to keep it as long as I could by staring at the SUV and looking at the passenger inside as I drove by. At that moment, I loved my neighbor in the truest sense of the word, with Charity!

How to

This affirmation has come about in order to shift your being towards Christ! It is done by simply placing your hands over your heart and saying with heart felt conviction, "I am love, I am charity!" I have restated this affirmation until I felt a true conviction inside of love and charity. I believe that this simple statement will change me, to truly love myself greater so that I can reach out to and love my neighbor. This will in turn show God, that I am obedient to His greatest commandment, and can honestly say, "I love Him." Which is shown by loving myself and others. I believe it is impossible to love God without being able to first love yourself and then your neighbor, because if you truly love God than you would love yourself and your neighbor.

I am love! I am charity!

Wow! I am extremely excited to share with everyone how, "I am love, I am charity!" came about. While pondering I thought to myself, "How can I become more like Christ?" Well, a few days later I was told how to start. I was asked, "What is the highest resonating vibrational frequency word?" Immediately I thought of the word love. This originates from the belief that love is the greatest word stemming from the greatest commandment. From here it became an affirmation, stating it out loud when possible, with conviction while placing my hand over my heart. The idea was to be creating a consistent pattern of resonating love from within. I knew this would happen as I constantly restated, "I am love!" This was to become the new me-more like Christ-from the inside out. Wow! How easily it worked! I could emotionally sense a shift within and physically felt it warm me. In time I realized that I was now also armed with armor to defend myself from negative thoughts towards myself and others. Immediately upon any negative thoughts forming in my mind I place my hand over my heart and say, "I am love." Very quickly I realized the power behind this simple statement. I have created affirmations before, but none were ever this easy to remember or this powerful. To be able to erase complete negative thoughts and feelings with one statement. WOW! I continued on and come across some more information that explained more about the word love and that was the word charity. Upon reading this information I knew that charity was even greater than my definition and understanding of love. Charity is the the pure love of Christ! What greater emotion can I experience? I knew that this was now my highest resonating vibrational frequency word. I didn't want to lose the purpose of saying, "I am love" either so I added them together. "I am love, I am charity!" Together they resonate at the highest positive vibrational frequency. This affirmation is creating within me a perfect harmony from the inside out of my spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical being. Building a true love for myself and others. Does it get any better than this? I am not saying that I am perfect, but the frequencies within me are slowing resonating more and more like love and charity!
