Is Your Goal to Love?

FLORENCE DISNEY BAPTISTE

To attain the goal of loving spiritually, we discover that there must be prayerful, even persistent, effort. Most important of all, there must be willingness to discipline and control our thinking.

Are there not times when we have a deep and urgent desire to accomplish more spiritual growth and progress but are confronted with the necessity to first overcome apathy and procrastination? These negative conditions of thought tend to rob us of our capability to reach our chosen goal. If we are not awake to annul their erroneous and mesmeric influence, these sleep-producers would stop all spiritually mental initiative and cause the unfoldment of spiritual ideas to cease.

An important aspect of spiritual love is embodied in Jesus' commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."^{Matt. 19:19;}
