God is always Love

There was someone in particular I knew I had to forgive. It really doesn’t matter who or why. I just knew I wanted more than simply the generous human courtesy of being nice to someone who had not been nice to me. I yearned for a spiritually substantial perception of things. I’d forgiven people before. But this time, I realized that true forgiveness had little to do with my human relationship with a person and everything to do with my relationship to God. So in this situation, I turned to prayer.

When I pray, I get very still, expectantly listening for a divine message of peace and clarity. In this case, what I needed came to me in a comforting way. The words “Water is always wet” came to thought. As I considered that, yes, it’s true that water is always wet—no matter whose hands are in it—I saw that God is always divine Love and embraces all of us equally, no matter who we are.

God knows our true identity, which is spiritual, and what the material senses say about who we are, where we are, or what we’ve done can never change that spiritual reality. God, Spirit, is the eternal Father and Mother of all of us, His ideas. I recognized the universal and eternal law of our relationship to God as forever in operation, blessing all. God never loses sight of man as His beloved, whole, spiritual, and holy child. His reliability, protectiveness, lovingkindness, and other attributes remain perpetually active. Being Love itself, God is always expressing immortal love in His children.
