While meditating this morning these words fell into my cleared heart, “Money isn’t going to fix this situation.  The value of love will be what heals the broken.”  Each of us, in our own way, have money we’re throwing away.  We’ve been challenged to believe that those who receive are released. Basically meaning, we give with hopes of getting back.  Look at how much money is burned up trying to win the Power Ball and Mega Millions lottery.  I hear it every day, “I’ll take anything.  Just let me win something.  And when I do I’m gonna share it with you.”  I smile knowing how winners really do work and it’s not always in blessed gifts coming back.  Sure!  You’ll hear of the occasional return but that’s not the way we should be giving.  How many people do you know that will accept love over money? And in being there with open arms are you expecting something in return?  Something has to refill the soul. Money isn’t going to fix this situation.  The value of love will be what heals the broken.  Who and what is broken?  The receiver or the giver?  Can both be patched up?  Can the receiver fix the giver and can the giver replenish the receiver?  Sadly the receiver keeps wanting to receive.  Why should it be fixed if the giver is their fix?  The same is true about the giver.  It’s extremely easy to want something, anything in return.  If that’s your walk then know just being there is enough.  That’s the gift! Don’t give to expect a ray of light.  Be in the moment.  That’s the gift.  Grow with it.  Build upon it.  Be present with your presence.  You can’t be available to all people until you set yourself free from having to get something back.  Presence wins.
