I recently attended a talk by Dr John Demartini, and learnt a very important lesson from his talk. Love is one of the most vital components in life because without it you are pretty much stuck.  To most of us love is something that comes naturally. We love our children and our spouses. We care for the elders. What about those people who in one way or another have hurt us so badly that we cannot help but feel hate towards them?

Living in South Africa is a great challenge. People fear for their lives. they are confused and sometimes feel helpless, especially those who have lost loved ones because of acts of crime and injustice. How are they suppose to love these people that have hurt them?

So many of us are holding on to the bad things that happened to us in our childhood. We allow ourselves to carry this with us and everywhere we go we bring up those things. We allow the things that other people say to us to influence our lives in such a way that we allow opportunities to pass us by.

One thing that I have learnt in my live is that I will not receive a challenge unless I am equipt to overcome it. In every challenge lies a golden opportunity. I think as humans we became so relient upon ourselves that we lost sight of God and the power He gave us to live our lives.  I know there are a lot of people out there that say you have to be in control of your life, but they miss the concept that if God is in control of your life then you are in control of your life.

With unconditional love God gives us the strength and the ability to live our lives to the fullest. All we need to do is to believe and trust. The love of God for us as humans is so great that he sacrificed His Son for us to be free.

It is hard to love the ones that hurt you, but if you don’t forgive them you will always carry the baggage around with you and this baggage will become the obstacle to your success.

With love we can conquer the world.
