The Dynamics of Love
"Dynamics" is a word not often associated with the thought of love, for it is usually considered as a branch of mechanics. But it can also refer to moral or intellectual forces, and in this sense it may be used to signify spiritual power. In fact, the Greek word translated "power" in many passages of the Bible is the same word as that from which our word "dynamics is derived.
In "Miscellaneous Writings," speaking of the true interpretation of God, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, says, "It explains the eternal dynamics of being, and shows that nature and man are as harmonious to-day as in the beginning, when 'all things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made.'" Mis., pp. 258, 259;
"The eternal dynamics of being" constitute a power that is evident in the lives of Christian Scientists as they go about their various duties with a gentle strength and constant good cheer. These dynamics are evident in homes which are marked by the loving consideration of the members for each other; in fact, they are evident in every activity in which individuals are selflessly expressing gratitude for an understanding of divine Love. Mrs. Eddy says; "Divine Love is the substance of Christian Science, the basis of its demonstration, yea, its foundation and superstructure. Love impels good works." pp. 357, 358;
