LOVE'S SELF-REPLENISHING ABUNDANCE

“All true love is from God, and man receives the divine affection as he himself bestows this love upon his fellows. Love is dynamic. It can never be captured; it is alive, free, thrilling, and always moving. Man can never take the love of the Father and imprison it within his heart. The Father’s love can become real to mortal man only by passing through that man’s personality as he, in turn, bestows this love upon his fellows.” [UB, 117:6.10]

Thought Adjuster: “Divine love is INSPIRATIONAL. Ponder this for a moment. It is so because love is adynamicforce, the life force of All-that-Is.There is no such thing as stagnant love. It would issue its death warrant.

As you read the above depiction of love’s vitality, you could not but notice thesame unerring fashionbetween the ways of love and those of forgiveness as their attributes overlap in theirdynamicexpressions. As well, it is only through the filter of your personality that youexperiencewhat otherwise would remain abstract concepts as you only truly KNOW what you experience. What you imagine as a faint shadow of a magnificent reality.

“The Father in heaven has forgiven you even before you have thought to ask him, but such forgiveness is not available in your personal religious experience until such a time as you forgiveyour fellow men. God’s forgiveness infactis not conditioned upon your forgiving your fellows, but inexperience,it is exactly so conditioned.” [UB, 146:2.4]

Aren’t you eager to experience both the Father’s love and forgiveness? As you emulate these divine attributes by treating others as he treats you, you get a glimpse of his magnanimity. Love and forgiveness do not come easy to humankind. Those who make their apprenticeship a moment-to-moment practice see their efforts rewarded. They start interacting with their fellows with a compassionate parental heart instead of a critical stance. They also come to incrementally appreciate the fullness of divine love that flows everyone's way, as it is unconditional. The Father cannot help himself from outpouring it due to its unfathomable and self-replenishing abundance.”
