Love is the essence of all that is. It is therefore all encompassing. It is the power of the universe made manifest through various expressions. Love is the unifying force that brings perfect harmony from the cells of our bodies to the various elements of the universe. It is, however Man’s perfect self-expression. It is the free flow of the divine essence in Man. Love is the underlying cause of all that is.

Love is essentially divine. It is the pure energy that causes us to move, to live and to have our being. Love is of God. It is the original consciousness from which all things and all lives emanate.

Love is the informative intelligent life principle that is currently at work in your body. It is what is causing you to breathe, making your heart beat and directing the movement of every cell, organ and tissue in your body creating perfect bodily function. Love is the invisible force that is causing the trees and the plant to grow, the sun, the moon and the seasons to alternate and the earth to rotate. Love is the every where present principle of Causation that harmonizes everything around us giving us joy and contentment.

Love is you, love is me. It is inherent in our 'beingness'. Love needs to be recognized and not sought after. Love is within and not without. We are the expressions of Love for we are of God. We came forth from love and can only love.

Love is our natural inclination. You will notice that in a case of a natural disaster people are often moved with compassion to donate and to help however they can. However we can allow that free flow of the divine essence to continuously flow through us and not just in certain unfortunate cases. We only need to recognize and remove those things that often block Love's awareness in us and others. Those are envy, jealousy, hatred, unforgiveness and the likes.

The truth is nothing can separate us from the love of God. Apostle Paul wrote:

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God for cause and effect are inseperable. God is our First Cause and we are the emanation of God. Cause and effects are two ends of the same stick. We are truly his image and likeness. In Truth we are not different from God, for we are his likeness. He is love and we are also love.

You can practice love in everything that you do and everywhere you may be. Begin by acknowledging God’s presence within, by paying attention to your breath. Recognize the pure energy that is causing you to inhale and exhale, praise the God-life in you. Acknowledge the same divine presence in others and also in the universe. When you are out in nature, or just out driving or doing errands pay attention to the trees, flowers, and people and recognize the underlying life principle that causes them to exist. These are the expressions of divine love. These are 'you' in multiple forms.

Love breaks the wall of separation and brings unity within the soul that acknowledges its presence. It unites us with God and with every aspect of creation. It causes us to see only good in others, thus awakening them to their divine nature. The more aware we become of this divine essence in us, the more aware we are of God. The more aware we are of God the more we are connected to our source and become like our source.

Today practice Love!

In Him,
