Love does not hurt, Dear One.

If you are hurting, if you are feeling badly, if you are feeling rejected, alone, abused, afraid, or isolated, then you can be absolutely certain that what you are feeling, that what you are focusing on, is not love.

It is something else.

If love is what you want to be feeling, if love is what you want to be experiencing at this point in time, you are going to have to choose to focus your attention elsewhere.
