LET LOVE LEAD By Lydia Kimmerling
As we step into spring, let’s talk about the most profound, transformative gift we have: love. Not just the love we share with others, but the love that lives within us — a force so powerful that it can change lives, heal wounds and light up even the darkest corners of our existence.
Why love? Because it is the foundation of everything. It is the light that shines through when everything feels heavy, the hand that lifts us when we feel broken and the gentle reminder of our wholeness when we’ve forgotten who we are. But here’s the truth: while love surrounds us, flows through us, and is always available, not everyone is ready to let it in. Too often, we carry fears, doubts and old stories that block this love from reaching us fully.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Am I truly letting love in? Do I feel worthy of receiving it? Because here’s the thing about love: it’s not something you earn. It doesn’t come with conditions, and it isn’t reserved for perfect moments or perfect people. Love simply is. It’s here, waiting for you to claim it.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve come to understand my deepest purpose: to help others activate the love and faith that already exist within them. Because when these two forces come alive, they create a power that can’t be stopped. A power that allows you to: • Be your truest, most authentic self. • Face challenges that once felt impossible. • Step boldly into your purpose and create a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
I know this because I’ve lived it. My own journey has been one of surrender — again and again — letting go of control, handing my life over to Source, and trusting in the guidance of an infinite, all-encompassing love. And here’s what I’ve discovered: the more I let love lead, the more my life unfolds in ways that are beyond anything I could have planned.
This past year especially, I’ve felt more deeply held by this energy than ever before. It’s an unwavering force, always present, always supporting me. And because of this, I no longer worry about what’s ahead or where I’m going. Simply living in this state of love has become my purpose. It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am.
But let’s be honest: fear is what keeps love out. Fear keeps us small. It whispers things like, What if I’m not enough? What if I’m not ready? It convinces us that we need to have everything figured out before we can move forward. But here’s the truth: love doesn’t need you to have it all together. Love just needs you to show up.
The things we’re really searching for — happiness, peace, joy and purpose — don’t come from having every detail mapped out. They come from turning inward. From reconnecting with the Source of love within you and rediscovering who you really are. This isn’t about ticking boxes or following a plan, it’s about transformation — the kind that starts in your heart and ripples out into every part of your life.
So as we step into this season of growth and renewal, let love guide you. Let it soften the edges, illuminate your path and remind you of the infinite power already within you. Love isn’t just something you give or receive; it’s who you are at your core. And when you embrace that truth? Everything changes.
