These times are very troubling. The miseries regarding our coming elections are discouraging; the fear of terrorist attacks keeps everyone on edge. It is no surprise at all that people of good hearts are calling for more love to emerge every day. I agree; I agree with Emmet Fox when he writes that “there is no disease that enough love will not heal” and “no wall that enough love will not through down.” I also think that most of us do not have much of a clue about what to do with the love energies that lie within us.
The dynamic energy...
I have long
believed that love is way more than a fine, floaty feeling that makes us feel
good when we think about it. I think
that love is the dynamic energy that comes into life with us…in our minds, our
genes, in the very cells of our bodies, and this means that love can be quite
physical. A good friend once said that “Service
is love in work clothes,” and it is…if we know how to allow it to serve. On the other hand, love misunderstood, not
recognized, turned on its ear becomes hatred and often violence. Love, by its divine nature, is healing,
attractive and creative, but turned upside down, it becomes diseased, ugly and
destructive.
The forefront of our lives...
Looks like
our essential task now is to bring love, its force, and its flow back into the
forefront of our lives and never let it leave.
Perhaps we should always be asking ourselves: Does what I do demonstrate healthy love? Since we can never be free of it as a natural
energy, we will either use it for good, or we will use it for ill. As self-aware, spiritual beings living in a
demanding world, we will activate the love energies because we cannot keep from
doing so, and we now know that love is not only an essence but a “thing” to be
reckoned with.
Let us
insure that…
Love builds bridges, not fences.
Love heals as it reveals.
Love must always be creative,
not destructive.
Love makes forgiveness possible.
Love makes forgiveness possible.
Love’s nature is freely unconditional.
