Voices of Unity

 

Message Channeled by Lyneva Hook, shared with Unity Center of Des Moines on July 13, 2025

 

What is unconditional love? One would say love without condition.  I would say, it’s the kind of love that the Creator has for each of us.

 

Unconditional love is acceptance, selflessness, has no expectations, forgiveness and devotion.

 

All of which are self-explanatory, but I’m drawn to highlight the definition of devotion: it is deep and unwavering affection that continues even when faced with challenges.

 

There is an unwavering certainty in life and that is change.  Many people are afraid of change. Makes them feel uncomfortable, makes them feel like the ground is shaking beneath their feet. It creates fear in many.

 

But change creates opportunity for growth, and eliminates stagnation. We are all creators. We can’t grow and not change. It’s one way or the other.

 

And what is critical, right now, for the very existence of Unity, is making that choice. At this point in time, it’s the golden opportunity for growth, to assist in elevating humanity, assisting in healing humanity, creating a sacred space for all who enter and returning it to its origins purpose of uniting in divine presence.

 

Let me see a raise of hands of those who do not need any healing. We all need healing on some level. We come in broken and it’s our responsibility to heal and rise above and to assist others. Because we understand when we have risen from the ashes what others are going through.

 

Might I add, there is no one soul in charge of healing, placing themselves above anybody else. We are responsible for our own healing and when we are ready, we allow another to assist in that transformation. That is one way for us to serve others.

 

Our Unity Center has the potential to become an extraordinary place of healing and growth, with no conditions.

 

“Love one another,” one of Jesus’ commands.  The way shower for us all, a master, the great teacher, who only knew unconditional love.

 

Maybe it’s time to ask ourselves, out of unconditional love for this wonderful community, are there things we could be doing better?

 

The opportunity is right in front of us with all the talented, willing, gifted, caring, loving souls who want us to be a part of and witness this community unfold into its potential, just like the beautiful lotus in all its magnificence and glory.

 

Let’s not be afraid of change, and let’s build this together, let’s help each other heal our wounds by letting go of what no longer serves us.

 

All, out of unconditional love. Love without conditions, selflessness, acceptance, no expectations, forgiveness, and devotion.

 

I will close with “our talents are gifts from the creator, and what we do with our talent, are our gifts back to the creator”.

 

With much love and gratitude, 

And so it is
