Opening to Love

Your card today dropped out of the 'Gateway Oracle Card' deck, authored by Denise Linn. Your card is the 'Opening to Love' card, and Denise's message for the card is this:
"My heart is open...
From the love of others, to love of self, to love from the Creator, love flows to and through you.  You are indeed a sacred vessel for love to flow through.  The Universe wants you to know there is nothing you need to do to deserve love. It is already waiting for you.  It's like the sun...there for everyone.  It's simply a matter of stepping out to bask in that warm and glowing light.  Who you are is enough.  This is true."

My message for you today is this:
Sometimes it is lack of self-esteem or self-love that holds us back from being all that we are meant to be.  This card has presented for you today as a reminder that you are loved, and to reiterate the message brought forth for you yesterday, that you are WORTHY.  Some people confuse self-love with Ego---they believe that to declare that you love yourself is to reside in
Ego---this is so untrue!!!  When we are 'bragging' about some aspect of ourselves, this actually comes from a place of insecurity and LACK of self-love.  When we feel self-empowered and know that we are loved unconditionally by the Creator and fully embrace our own unique 'wonderfulness' without the need to 'brag' about it, we are in our Higher Self and not in Ego.  Can you feel the difference in energy between the words 'bragging' and 'advocating'?  When we brag, we are trying to convince another of our worth.  When we advocate for ourselves, we are lovingly sharing the best part of ourselves with the world from a place of self-love.  Own all that you are, knowing that you are loved for all that you are!
Sharing your Light means to share your Love.  Allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to open to love and all that it has to offer in every aspect of your life, knowing full well that you are entirely worthy.  When you Love yourself, despite all your little imperfections, and shine your Love and Light out into the world, you encourage others to do the same!  As Denise states above, 'You are indeed a sacred vessel for love to flow through."  You are the Love of the Creator expressed in physical form here on Earth...confidently embrace and share that Love through your own unique expression. 
Blessed be...
P.S~  I LOVE SYNCHRONISTIC EVENTS THAT VALIDATE THAT THE UNIVERSE AS A WHOLE IS SUPPORTING US!  Hours after posting today's reading, I logged into the 'Oprah & Deepak Meditation Challenge~Finding Your Flow' that I have been participating in, to do the daily meditation.  Today's meditation is 'Finding Love'!!!!!  The following quote was shared to align with today's meditation:
"Loving yourself...does not mean being self-absorbed, it means welcoming yourself as the most honoured guest in your own heart."            
~Margo Anand~
LOVE IT!  HOW COOL IS THAT?  THE MESSAGE THAT CAME FORWARD FOR YOU TODAY IN YOUR DAILY READING COMPLETELY ALIGNS WITH WHAT OPRAH & DEEPAK ARE SHARING TODAY, ALSO!  THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES! 
I say, 'Thanks', I say, 'Amen'!
