Live divine Love...

SUSANNE BECKER

... and love divine Life! Expressing love is one of the most important activities of Life, God—in fact, Love is the substance of Life. If we want to progress spiritually and be of the highest usefulness, we must love Life; love man as the expression of Life; love God's universe. Only then will we find it natural to express love to our families, neighbors, to all people. Loving them for their true selfhood, we love God.

God has created only spiritual perfection and goodness in the universe and man. Living divine Love requires seeing only this perfection and goodness. It is our perception of reality that counts.

The opposite of love—destructive criticism, hate, and fear— have no place in God's universe, and therefore they have no place in you and me as God's expression. Fear and hate seem so true, yet they are illusion. They can have no power even in belief if we do not let them enter consciousness. We overcome them by understanding their nothingness and the actuality and omnipotence of God, good—by knowing there is no place in our God-reflected consciousness where they can be entertained.
