True Loving

ELLEN CHORLTON

Throughout the history of the world there has always been among mankind a keen desire to help one's fellowman. Men and women of all ages and climes have expressed this desire, and many beautiful stories, true and fictional, have shown that the dominant factor in whatever happiness is experienced in mortal existence is gained through loving. Love, however, which is expressed merely from a human concept of things, is not free selfishness, and is prone to changeableness. The love which is of God is the only changeless, unselfed love, the love which is spiritual and eternal, and which reflects the all-power of God.

Jesus understood and expressed this love, and with it he solved all the problems which were brought to him during his earthly mission; and it will solve all problems again to-day, in proportion as men recognize man's unity with God, who made man in His own image and likeness. Jesus recognized the unity of God and man, not only for himself but for all with whom he came in contact.

During his close companionship with the master Christian, John, the beloved disciple, witnessed the results upon suffering and sinful humanity of the power of divine Love as expressed by Jesus, results which brought peace, joy, happiness, and freedom to all who came consciously in touch with it. No doubt it was with this in his thought that he wrote in his first epistle, "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
