"This hour of development"

ELIZABETH ROYER BECK

What a beautiful word is "love," conveying in its spiritual meaning the bounteous benevolence of the Father-Mother, God! Imbued with tenderness, Love is ever pouring forth the richness of its blessings, fortifying the understanding and making pure one's affections.

Paul made two most helpful statements regarding the love of Love: "Love is the fulfilling of the law" (Rom. 13:10); and, "Love never faileth" (I Cor. 13:8, American Standard Version). Only in the true sense of loving— the consciousness and expression of divine Love—does one find fulfillment of his desires and freedom from fear of failure. Mary Baker Eddy points out on page 516 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" that "Love, redolent with unselfishness bathes all in beauty and light." It is in this light that one perceives God's work as finished and perfect.
