The world remembers God as the ultimate source of love, the Ocean of Love, the Eternal Flame. God gives – unconditionally – love that is imperishable, universal, and unique. Imperishable in that the love is unlimited, constantly radiating, and totally available. Universal in that the love holds no boundaries or preferences; loving vibrations emanate to all souls of all cultures, races, and creeds. Unique in that the fire of God’s love cleans the heart and soul. Those who tap into such love re-establish the bond of an eternal relationship. Those who experience the spiritual love of God – who “merge with the Eternal Flame of Truth” – are disconnected from falsehood. Such souls have learned the first lesson of universal brotherhood: that all souls have love for one another because they are children of the same Parent. That is called spiritual love.
When the fire of spiritual love has been ignited, individuals begin exercising the will power to set themselves free from bondages of short-lived gratification. Time is invested and effort is made to build an internal stage in which love is revealed on the face and in every activity. With the enlightenment of spiritual love, individuals are less disturbed by adverse circumstances They view dark clouds and storms as opportunities to exercise their internal strength and resources. If others do not give them love, that does not extinguish their flame. They overcome thoughts which may direct them to step away
from a particular person, place, or task. Instead, there is the faith that with effort, they will make a significant and beneficial difference. The more effort is made to love, the more love is received. The spark of effort is love, and true love for effort means to remove whatever weaknesses stand in the way of love.
An entire world can be transformed through loving vision, loving attitude, and loving actions. To create a better world – a world of truth – spiritual love is primary. In a better world, the natural law is love; and in a better person, the natural nature is loving.
