Answer the call.

“To answer the call is to choose love, over and over again, and to do so without condition. And when we can’t seem to choose love for ourselves, it’s choosing God’s boundless love for us in each and every moment. This is the antidote to fear.”

Though we’re at the end of the year, a time when many of us pause to reflect on what was, I find myself diving into a sea of newness. A call I've felt the nudge to answer since late last year is slowly catching up to its physical manifestation, and I’ve decided to lean in.

In the process, I found myself asking — what does it truly mean to answer the call? What gives this phrase it's depth? What takes it beyond a fleeting moment of enthusiasm? And the more I zoomed out in order to capture the full spectrum of the ask, the simpler it became.

What I found is this: To answer the call is to choose love, over and over again, and to do so without condition. And when we can’t seem to choose love for ourselves, it’s choosing God’s boundless love for us in each and every moment. This is the antidote to fear.

Though the answer may be simple, the action often isn’t.

We can dance with the excitement of the possibility and never truly answer the call. We can cling to what could be for fear of truly committing to the labor of love required to bring it to fruition. We can dip a toe, start, then stop, then start, then stop. And guess what? It is all progress. It is all for our use.

The way in which we engage with each divine call is a manifestation of the healing journey occurring within, of our level of deconditioning to allow in the dream, of our willingness to fully embody who we truly are — whole and worthy.

So if we look at our lives as an accumulation of choices, what would happen if the balance of those choices was love (over fear)? Let's tip the scale, together.
