What Love can do

CAROLYN B. SWAN

No situation is beyond the help of divine Love. Nature abounds with endearing hints that Love supports our every right endeavor.

Take, for instance, those "shepherds" of the sea, the dolphins. Perhaps because their young are born underwater and must be lifted quickly to the surface to begin breathing, dolphins have gained the reputation of instinctively helping other struggling creatures to surface and stay afloat. Sailors shipwrecked far from shore have reported being buoyed up and shepherded to safety in this way. And amazing as such deliverance may seem, Love can do more.

Divine Love is able to rescue and deliver those who find their lives figuratively shipwrecked by sin, sickness, or sorrow. Therefore no one anywhere or in any condition is left without hope of healing. Love is infinite, omnipotent Spirit, the one Mind which knows and constitutes all real being, and all good. Love meets all human needs. But we must spiritually awake to realize this.
