Beaming love
![](https://sentinel.christianscience.com/var/sentinel/storage/images/_aliases/fullwidth/media/images/122/07/field/11104043-1-eng-US/field.jpg)
You’ve always been a gift—
God’s gift, a beam of Love.
The very talent you have to share
is the gift of love,
found in the giving.
Strange as it sounds,
the love that’s within us
can only be found
by sharing.
And our God, the giver of all good,
knows exactly where your
gift of love is needed.
What a wonder that we can stop seeking
happiness by winding the strings of our lives
around people—being tossed out
and tugged back as if we were a yo-yo,
riding highs and lows of emotion.
No, Love is a constant presence.
Love never changes.
Love never fails.
You can release that string—it’s not you.
You are a steady ray of light
sent from divine Love.
Never wavering.
Constant.
Natively free.
Never held back.
Eternal.
In no way limited.
As Spirit’s substance you are …
not snubbed.
You’re approved.
Not tugged into darkness.
You’re light.
Not constricted.
You’re shining.
Not harnessed.
Spirit alone directs
and guides you
to freely radiate love
in the company of
brother and sister rays.
—Jobie Townshend-Zellner
