40 Days of Love – Day16

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 16

Real filth is the one inside. The rest simply washes off. There is only one type of dirt that cannot be cleansed with pure waters, and that is the stain of hatred and bigotry contaminating the soul. You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart.”*

Today, we are releasing the past and embracing God’s Love for us. 

Our Lent Booklet invites us today to release the past.

We can cherish joyful memories but we must know that the past can hold us prisoner in often painful events that has long been gone. Rev Walker Douglas asks us:

Who would I be if I made the conscious choice to let go of thoughts, feelings, and memories of yesterday that no longer serve my highest good?

NOW is the time to accept the invitation to release the past and embrace the abundant future that lies ahead.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao Tzu

Today we affirm: I bless that which is behind me and praise
God for all that is beside me and before me.

Note : My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak (See more about the book here (click)  ( and The Lent booklet by Unity.org 

Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’,  understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us. 

I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between 

the 14th of February and the 28th of March 2024,

I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Let go, Let God – Lent 2024′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).
