How can we feel more of God's Love
God's Love is permanent and unconditional it is we his spiritual children who fail to be aware of this. Distractions from the outside world keep many of us locked in the limited reality of the physical mind, limiting our awareness of God's Grace and Love as it pours into our lives through the spiritual heart.
One of the the simplest and most powerful way to keep your focus centred on the spiritual heart so as to increase your awareness of God's unconditional Love is to practice the silent art of prayer, meditation and quiet contemplation. Meditation keeps us within the inner stillness of the heart where God's Love is felt so strongly. Holding the subtleties of these experiences the meditator is then able to feel the presence of God's Love as a continuous reality during his outer activities.
To increase your inspiration for how God's Love has touched your life make a note of what He means to you, what is it that you love about God, how has your life with God been blessed, what miracles has God performed in your life, compare what type of person you are now to what you were before you discovered God, what special people has God brought into your life and how have they blessed you?
Daily so many small miracles occur in our life, but sadly we become blasé barely noticing them. This failing takes us further away from our awareness of God's constant love for us. We should try to simplify our lives, slow ourselves down enough to live in the free undistracted moment, so as to recognise each miracle as a unique blessing. Then remember to sincerely offer gratitude to God for these blessings, in that way we bring God's Love back to the forefront of our lives.
Try setting your alarm clock earlier so as to rise before sunrise. Sitting in quiet contemplation, prayer or still meditative silence, feel that each breath you take is filled with God's Love for you. Feel that each breath expands your appreciation for all that God brings into your life. In the early morning stillness as the colours of the sky turn from soft pink to yellow feel God's vast and silent beauty expanding in the depth of your spiritual heart. The warmth you feel is God's Love within the beauty of his creation.
Sri Chinmoy the meditation teacher says, (1) "When God's Heart is filled with man's gratitude, then God will be fulfilled both here on earth and there in Heaven. When we fill God's Heart with our constant gratitude, then God will play His role by manifesting Himself in and through us with his Love.
