Respect, Compassion, and Acceptance

Respect, compassion, and acceptance are the foundations of Love. Without these three, Love cannot be present. All three of these start with ourselves and then flow outward. If you cannot have compassion on yourself, then you will not be able to have it for others. All three of these are also tied into self judgment and judgment of others. Non judgment means complete acceptance. As the inner goes, so does the outer. If you accept and respect yourself for who and what you are, you will accept others as they are. Complete acceptance gives you peace, because there is nothing you need to control or do. Complete acceptance allows you to see God within yourself and within others, again as the inner goes so does the outer. Complete acceptance means no changes are required --- God is whole, God is One, God is perfect as is. When we are compassionate, we acknowledge that we cannot judge, based on our belief system, what it means to walk in another's shoes. As we acknowledge this, we reinforce the knowing that we are part of the body of God, part of Love. Just as fear, anger, judgment, and blame are the foundation of this false world, compassion, respect, acceptance, non judgment, and Love make up the foundation of our journey back to God.
