You are worthy of love. Print

No. 483 / You are worthy of love.

Beauty isn’t created, but discovered. At our best we are only able to reveal it to the world. Beauty extends far past the narrow limits of any single lifetime, and well outside the grasp of our power to comprehend. We don’t control beauty, we are beggars at its feet. It is beyond us. It is greater than us. It runs through us, we are made of it. We are such a small part of the beauty of life, and the part of it we are able to see is even smaller. It’s no wonder, then, that we so rarely see it in ourselves.

GFDA is the bearer of messages from your own heart. What we say is nothing new, we simply put things in a way that you can’t ignore.

From truth, purpose; from purpose, fulfillment. The truth is that this life is a struggle, it’s a contest. Your purpose is to use up every bit of your potential participating in life. You are called to face a challenge. Accept it with dignity. From contending—perhaps to be injured, certain to be hurt—you will find a respect for yourself that can be attained nowhere else. From enduring the struggle, you will learn the true value of compassion and a proper use of your power.

These things cannot be given, they must be earned. We offer you this, and nothing more: the light of old wisdom to guide your steps, and the fruits of our experience to nourish you on your journey.

Happiness isn’t a reward. Strength isn’t gained without effort. Love isn’t something you get from someone else. Life is made bearable in the bearing of it. The meaning of life reveals itself when you stop looking for it and start living with sincerity. Fulfillment will come at last when you have given all that you have.

We want that for you.
