THE LAW OF LOVE

MADGE REINHARDT

It is for each one of us to decide whether he will accept the world suggestion of strife and division among men or resist and overcome it by individual demonstration. One's decision and victory do not depend on the other fellow, but on oneself.

The belief in matter is the element of disunity or separateness, for mortal mind would argue that men are material beings, including both good and evil. Human beings go through alternating phases of attraction and repulsion in their dealings with one another. Their supposed unit may give way to faithlessness, disloyalty, revenge, hatred, or any belief which is the antipode of the Christ.

The spiritual counterfact of disunity is the oneness of God. God cannot be divided. Neither can God's attributes be divided. The attraction of Godlike qualities is an unvarying law—the law of divine Love. The Christ reveals the true idea of man, best exemplified by Christ Jesus. The Christ-nature is the true nature of all of us. When an individual expresses such God-derived qualities as humility, love, unselfishness, joyousness, and devotion to Principle, he demonstrates the Christ. When human relationships are based on a recognition of the Christ, they are unvarying, loving, loyal, and progressive.
