Love: The push and pull of love

Sometimes we resist life, love, and even help, coming to us from others, including ourselves, and God.
Why do we resist ourselves, and life, and often we think too that we cannot be helped by anyone?
This happens all as a result of the pull and push against love.
Love pushes us, but we only feel it as a pull of the part of love that we see, and so fear. Love is pushing, or pulling us to a place where we really do not want to go. Love wants to stretch us into being a bigger person than we are now.
We fear our being of this new person.
Is it really the real us?
Could we sustain ourselves in the future still being this improved self?
Have we the energy to live more fully as ourselves, from love?
Fear is love too.
This is because all is really love, (all is the oneness of God, and God is love, so all is love, that is, if we want to see it in that way) but when we fear this pulling/pushing part of love, it leaves us too afraid to go with its push, or pull, and so we then pull our self sadly away from love, (or push love away from us) instead , instead of our moving ourselves more towards it.
Life, love, God, all push you, (or pull you), otherwise, you will stay in your place, even as the law of physics agrees with that, saying that something in place will stay in place, until an external, or here more an internal force, acts upon it, to get it moving again.
And so, the push and pull of life, or its ups and downs, are meant to help you keep moving along your path of life, towards learning, and achieving your goals for God, yourself, and for life, as you go.
Never resist the push, and the pull of life, God, or your own soul, rooting in there for you too.

It is natural for us to stay put in our "hard earned" comfort zones.
I need a push in the form of doing my duty like looking after my mother to heave myself from set life.
That happened with regard to my jobs too as I overlooked better opportunities that came my way.
I think all these opportunities are given for a purpose and it is up to us to seize the day, carpe diem.
We come to a fork on the road often and the road less traveled is usually bypassed.

Yes, I think that we are guided by some unseen force, be it God, or our soul, and sometimes our lives are moved in certain directions, to ensure that we might change our ways even.
Many people have said that when they got sick from some major disease, they learnt a lot from it, and changed their inner self to a much better inner self.
Perhaps, these things do all have connecting purposes behind them, and reasons for their happening too..

@Shiva49 Yes, our paths cross, because somebody/something sometimes influences them to cross, and to intersect, at some point, and time. I think that too.
Maybe sometimes, some people that we meet, and who help us, are really angels, or higher spiritual beings, in disguise.

@innertalks According to me, who we meet matters most and when.
Meeting the right person changes our lives but then, who decides such?
Maybe, a soul attraction.
An employer is looking for the right employee and the latter too looking for the right employer.
Some professionals like lawyers, accountants, are blessed to get the staff that may know even more than them!
It cannot be pure luck in my opinion. Some meetings are set at a higher level, maybe karma in action, giving us breaks.

can we sustain ourselves in this new form. Interesting question you ask. It is answered with a yes and a no.
for we are not, once we are aware, who we were. the sustenance associated with who we were would not sustain who we are.

@DocAndersen We sustain at the same time as we climb, and the energy then comes from the climb, and keeps us climbing.
God is sustained by his love living actively alive in him, and we are too, when we actively love.
I meant not sustaining, as in standing still, but in recognising that as we move forwards, the energy comes to us, and from us, and sustains us as we grow forwards. The energy is released by the growth, and so this sustains us, or untires us, giving us more fresh energy to go on, and onwards.

Sometimes, if we think that we could not sustain ourselves in that new form, we won't even attempt to go there either.
If we could be our real selves fully, and entirely, that self comes with a built-in sustaining energy to it too.
We have contact with the full power of God, and his love then, as well.
That is the paradox of wanting more energy, but not realising that any advancement in ourselves, and our consciousness, is always self-sustaining.

@innertalks time for another plot twist - we can never sustain for that is treading water. We must push onward.
Each moment, each gain is a plateau, but there is always more steps to climb!~

@innertalks I agree with you and your examples. As Christians, we feel the nudging of the Holy Spirit. When we act on the nudge, God works His will.
When I read your post, it didn't read the same as what you explained. God doesn't push us into accepting Him, which is what I understood from your post. As servants of our Lord Jesus Christ, that push is something we need to be watchful for so we don't miss our opportunities to do God's will in our lives.

@just4him Yes, my way of writing is influenced by my past, where I was caught up in a number of New Age cults.
I got out from those, and I came back to Christianity, because Jesus Christ, himself, nudged me back towards himself too.

Do love have up and downs, I hope it's the other way around. The God or the happiness in us is the witness of what we are. Our minds have different likes and dislikes whatever it is either sides can help us to do that so. So being an loving or hating person is our choice.

God lives at the top of his love energy at all times, because he is God, but the rest of us can only try to strive for this, so yes, we will have ups and downs in love, and sometimes it will fire us up with greater energy when we contact love more fully, and at other times, our mind will cool it off, and at these times greater contact with God, will help us fire up a cooled off mind, once more again.
Choice is determined by wisdom too, so making choices to love, or to hate, might come at first from ignorance, but as we wisen up, we should grow to make then more loving choices, more frequently, then too.

@innertalks Actually, we don't say I Love You too within the circle of the family (parents and brother ans sister) but we know it by hearts that we all love each other...
