When Love is Needed

WHEN do we need love most, if not when we deserve it least? When we are satisfied and happy the need of love is not keenly felt, but when clouds gather and we are inclined to be fretful and fault-finding, patience and love in those about us count at more than double their normal value. We should keep this fact before us in dealing with others, and check the impulse to close our hearts against them when they manifest discord or enmity.

As Christian Science marches on in human consciousness to higher and higher planes, greater and greater becomes the demand for love—that love of which Paul tells us, the love which suffers long and is kind, which envies not, which is not easily provoked and endures all things. We need this love both in our home and public relations, and nothing will serve as a substitute for it.
