Keep Choosing Love

By Linda Ferguson on January 17, 2011

Last week, dealing with discouragement and confusion, I sat in meditation and heard the phrase, ‘Keep Choosing Love’.  I was inspired to write the following prose.

As we celebrate not only the life, but the Spirit, of Martin Luther King Jr., I offer these words to carry into your work and your everyday life.  May these words remind you of King’s life work that taught us to love and forgive more deeply.

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.:

“Keep Choosing Love”

If you are carrying a heavy weight of resentment, Choose Love and Forgiveness

If you are holding on to grudges and hatred, Choose Love and Understanding

If you are carrying sorrow or doubt, Choose Love and Faith

If you are hanging on to anger or pain, Choose Love and Compassion

If you are having troubles letting go of worry, Choose Love and Hope

If you are living in fear, Choose Love and Support

If you want to expand yourself, Choose Love and Peace

If you want to offer the best of Who You Are, Choose Love and Joy

If there ever was a time for healing, hope, and understanding, It is Now!

In the face of fear, anger, worry, stress, frustration, hopelessness:

Keep Choosing Love

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.- Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968)
