FREELY GIVE AND ABUNDANTLY RECEIVE

ALFRED MARSHALL VAUGHN

The great Master, Christ Jesus, said (Luke 6:38), "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over."

If we are not reflecting Love, giving out love, it is because we are not realizing that man, our true selfhood, is the manifestation of divine Love. As we turn earnestly to the fact that man is the image and likeness of divine Love, therefore ever reflecting Love, and endeavor to realize it, we spontaneously express unselfishness, kindness, gentleness, patience, meekness, and other Christlike qualities in abundance. As we express these qualities we receive good; and it comes to us in many ways.

Joy, health, abundant supply, a pleasant home, friends, and above all a more Christly nature come to the one who realizes that man is that through which divine Love is unceasingly expressing its glorious qualities. These fruits of right thinking inevitably accrue to the one who realizes the true relationship between divine Love and man, for this realization causes him to express and radiate love in every way, and thus to dwell in the consciousness of Love.
