A Story of 3 Men

 "Once in a village, a woman saw three old men sitting outside her house. They were sitting there for quite a while.

receiving your desires

The woman went outside and said,

'I don't know you, but I saw that you are sitting here for long, you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.'

One of them asked,

'Is the man of the house at home ?'

She replied, 'No.'

'Then we cannot come in.', said the men.

The woman went inside. In the evening when her husband came, she told him about the people sitting outside and all that had happened.

He told his wife to go and ask those men to come in and have some food.

She went out and told them,

'My husband is home. He is inviting you all. Please come inside and have some food with us .'

They replied,

'We do not go inside a house together.'

When she asked why, one of the old men explained,

pointing to one of his friends, he said :

'His name is Wealth.

If he goes with you, your home will be filled with wealth always.'

Then pointing to another old man he said :

'He is Success.

If he goes with you, you will always be successful in any endeavor you start.'

He then introduced himself as Love.

'If I go with you, then your home will be filled with love always.'

Then he told her to go in and discuss with her husband which one of them they want in their home.

Her husband was overjoyed hearing about it and said,

'Let’s invite Wealth.

Let him come and fill our home with wealth.'

His wife disagreed and said, 'Why don’t we invite Success?'

Their daughter-in-law was listening to this.

She came to them and suggested,

'Wouldn’t it be better if we invite Love in our home ?

Then our home will be filled with love forever.'

The husband and wife agreed.

The woman again went out and said,

'Which one of you is Love ? Please come in and be our guest.'

Love got up and started walking toward the house. Just then the other two also got up and started following him.

The woman asked,

'You said you can not all can come together.

I invited only Love.

Why are you all coming in?'

The old men replied,

'If you had invited Wealth or Success then the other two would have stayed outside, but since you invite Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.'

Wherever there is Love, Wealth and Success will follow." ❤️

Tips to live in Love

Oh how true it is that love is a choice. I wrote this whole article, got interrupted twice, lost the entire thing, and got to start over again. It is a great example where I get to choose to show up in love even when things go wrong and remember that everything works out for me.

Here are some powerful questions you can use to show up in love more consistently and joyfully.

  • How can I show up in love?

  • What would be the best way to say this with love?

A few more practices that I find helpful:

  • Say every morning "I choose to be in charity with you [Jesus]"

  • Write a list of the things you love about a person/situation that is challenging you.

An Important Key

Love is an important key to receiving your desires.

As we LOVE God and trust in his LOVE for us, we will trust that He is there for us. We will ask for that which we desire and align our desires with His greater wisdom.

As we LOVE our work, passion and purpose will show in our performance.

As we LOVE people, we will be kind and compassionate and seek to do good always.

May you be filled with the love of God so completely that His light radiates from you and blesses all that come into your space - physically or digitally!
