Be Vulnerable and Open to Love (From my heart, Charissa Duskis)

     In our mind we can be as old or young as we desire.  Have you noticed the way a child is open to learning new things?  How a child is open to receiving teaching, love, and acceptance in any form that it comes?  Even the Bible says to be like a child to enter into the kingdom.  As we grow older, we change our thinking to the type of thoughts and behaviors we believe we should have.  We close ourselves off to being vulnerable and open ourselves up to controlling ourselves.  When we are open like a child, we are open to all the wonders of the world.  It is this state that we grow the most.
     What did you do as a child that was so much fun?  In what way were you open to love?  I would frequently hug my dad and mom's leg and let them know I love them, unafraid of rejection.  I would listen to what they had to say with curiosity and a trust that they had my best intentions.  I was open to receiving what they had to offer me and I felt loved.  I was loved.  Let's open ourselves up, to be vulnerable, to what is there for us to receive.
