BREATHING IN LOVE

One of the most anticipated months of the year is finally here, and it is with all joy that I welcome you to February 2025! I am so excited about the progress you made in January, and all the things you have put your mind forth to that will be achieved this month. Keep enjoying your growth process!

Likewise, I’d like to appreciate the massive support you have shown all through the past month, and I am assured with all certainty that you are not going to hold back in this month of love. Also, I hope you have been able to catch up with the posts in January, and even the review. In case you haven’t done that, don’t worry, you are not late to the party! I assure you that you will have a beautiful time going through the posts.

I mentioned earlier that February is one of the most anticipated months, and I hope you will agree with me. Even before we picked February 1, I’m sure you must have been seeing quite a number of pointers around catching your eyes and ringing in your ears that you should make this month a memorable one for you and your loved ones. You must have also seen numerous outlines of your favourite people and events reminding you about the season we are in and the value it carries. Not all months light up such kind of energy in people, so I believe we can come to an agreement.

However, it is rather amusing that despite the euphoria that comes with this season and how excited we get at the turn of events, we often fail to associate with and express love in the practical sense. We are often so caught up in activities and the idea of love, I mean it sounds good to our ears, but when it comes to living it out, we sometimes find it to be a struggle. So, here’s the big question, where are we getting it wrong? What have we been putting out of the equation?

If we will indeed have the kind of love life that we desire, which goes beyond the walls of February, we have to practice ‘breathing in love’. This suggests living our lives from the focal point of love, making it the origin of the words we say to people, the bedrock of our thoughts, and the foundation upon which our actions, inactions, and reactions are built.

In a season like this, we tend to be more driven to focus on what is going on in our environment or the lives of other people, while we pay little attention to what is going on with our lives or how to ignite or rekindle our love flames. However, as we carry on with admiring and celebrating the beautiful relationships that other people share, this is a gentle reminder to you that your love walk is something to pay even closer attention to going forward.

You might have a beautiful romantic relationship going on, or you might just be a happy single living every day in your wholeness, there is still a lot for you to consider and release as far as love is concerned. Therefore, more than ever before, carry this consciousness in your mind that you are in a love walk with not just your romantic partner, but first of all, with the Source from whom all love stems, and even with other people that matter dearly to you.

Your heart and acts of love should not just be released towards the people who are in your space every day, but also to other people who might seem or are actually far off. It is demonstrated in how you relate with everyone who comes across you and the impact that relating with you has on them. As you read this, you should start to carry out your assessment of different levels.

If love will become a default setting to you and not just a mere confession or profession, first, you need to draw your inspiration from the right Source, which is God Himself. You have to understand that you can only be made perfect in love courtesy of His presence in your existence. Therefore, you need to meet with this name-bearer called Love in person, know Him, and develop a relationship with Him.

As you get introduced to Him and your walk with Him is activated, He starts to rub off on you, helping you extend the nature you have received by being with Him to other people. If you are connected to Him, doing or showing love the right way might be a challenge. Allow Him to be your influence today!

Over time, there might have been thoughts coming at you that have made you believe that love is not meant for everyone. These thoughts might have stemmed from an experience or a form of trauma, however, I am giving you a word of reassurance today.

Love is meant for you, and love has you in mind! You have the ability both to give it out through your acts and to receive it from others. Therefore, allow grace to be extended as it reaches out to your heart and heals your wounds. There are better experiences ahead of and for you, and you will once again enjoy the blessings of love.

To practically live in love, you have to pay attention to yourself as well. If you do not value who you are as a person, you might find it difficult to value others, or even treat them as they should be treated if at all you are making an attempt to love them. Therefore, start to pay attention to your inner self, your bodily needs, including your health, and even the workings of your mind. Position yourself to love others correctly by doing yourself the same favour.

As much as you are trying to guard your gates by setting boundaries, don’t make your defence graduate into a wall that cannot be broken down. What I am trying to say is that you should recognize the right associations that should be let in, and receive them with open arms. God has placed people in your life to bless you and for you to reciprocate the energy.

Do not allow the hurt or pain of the past to make you shut your doors to those who should be in the room with you. Sometimes, we often engage in searching for what we already have, and it is rather sad that this search can lead us to the wrong places. It is a good time to mend your relationships and make it count.

As you learn to receive love, you should not hesitate to also give love. Don’t just always be at the receiving end without attempting to show that you equally value the relationship. Let someone be happy and grateful on your account, and let their hearts bless you when your thought crosses their mind.

I mentioned something similar to this earlier; you have to reach out even to the people who might seem far away in this month of love and beyond. How do you intend to be a blessing to the less privileged or to a person in need? Do you have them in your budget? These are people who are also deserving of your constant acts of kindness and from whom you should not hold back.

A big aspect of living and breathing in love is showing up in the things that matter to people, and being present when they need you the most. Your presence can be in any form, and sometimes, it might take different forms, like being present physically, emotionally, financially, in prayers, in counsel, and in any other way you can think of. Let your actions reveal your intention more than your words do!

I’d like to make a call to you as I end this post. Make an everyday decision and a commitment to living out the love being that you have been ordained to be. Celebrate yourself, and also show premium support for other people and what they hold as dear to their hearts.

Once again, I wish you a February that is filled with hope as your love walk is reawakened. Enjoy the season and the atmosphere as you shower yourself and your loved ones with the gifts of precious moments spent together. Kindly remember to drop a comment on the post. Also, anticipate other amazing posts that will be coming to you this month. Have a beautiful week!
