A must 'Read'; A Promise, A Law, A Gift ...God is Love

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.  God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.”¹

What a beautiful relationship, God to Love. It is as mathematical as any of the perfect provable theorems of the Science of Mathematics. As we understand Love as God, we can see all that God does and gives. It is through the Mind of Love.

If we clearly see and understand this…or it should be said, AS we clearly see and understand this, we will stop blaming bad on God. We will stop fearing bad and be perfected in Love. We will see that Love removes the bad. Love comes to protect, heal, and lift us above what we consider bad.

Bad is subjective. In that what we believe as bad, the loss of something/someone, or the violence of person or wars, or the destructions of people or weather, isn’t what God sees or creates through Love. Love lifts us gently above the sorrows and reveals Life, His Life, as perfect, sustained, maintained, Real. Love reveals to us through higher thoughts and concepts that what we treasure, count as ‘real’, are but the illusions of an evil world and evil doers.

“This human belief, alternating between a sense of pleasure and pain, hope and fear, life and death, never reaches beyond the boundary of mortal or the unreal.”² 298:17

When we stop letting the errors of our beliefs swing us like pendulums in a clock from bad to worse, from fear to hopelessness. When we stand firm on the side of God, the side of Good, we will see this Good as the power, dominion, love, joy and peace of our lives now, not a hoped for later.

Love loves, therefore what He creates is all loving. What error, the devil, aggressive mental suggestions creates is chaos, hate, and harm. But Love never created evil and Love is the only Creator. Therefore evil, devil, animality and hate are but the mental suggestions that we place upon ourselves. When we turn to Love in our own dismay we find that all that is unlike Love is  removed by Love. Love reveals to us His Life in the Kingdom of Heaven and our place in His divine consciousness. We dwell in Love.

“In order to comprehend the meaning of the text, let us see what it is to believe.”³ “You will find yourself losing the knowledge and the operation of sin, proportionably as you realize the divine infinitude and believe that He can see nothing outside of His own focal distance.”⁴

We are as little children in the world of make-believe. ‘We believe what we see and see what we believe.’ But this isn’t what God created, manifests, sees, understand, nor sustains in His vastness Goodness and Love, His Truth. When we get horrified by our own beliefs and tired of fear and its false tyranny we turn to Him… or we blame Him…

God is ever available Love. Ever waiting patiently for us all to turn to Him and be healed of our misconceptions. God is the Truth. This Truth removes all that is unlike the Truth. This Truth is the power that frees us from the aggressive mental suggestions. This Truth is the Divine Law and it removes all the false mortal beliefs of false proclaimed laws that we believe are true.

God is above our beliefs. God lifts our understanding to the Truth and reveals man as free, healthy, protected, loved. God is omnipotent, the only and All-powerful. God is omnipresent, the One and Only that fills all-space. These divine Facts remove the beliefs of other powers and evils that falsely abuse and accuse man. Love fills all space. When this is seen and understood mankind finds the divine revelation—that there is no evil—the conceivable and evident Truth of Divine Being. When we turn to the Real, the unreal—evil, fear, doubts, murderous, disastrous tendencies—disappear.  

But not until we stop believing in the unreal will we see the totality of Divine Reality. We must proclaim the Real in our thoughts and stay in His omnipresent Good consistently, persistently, completely.

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.”⁵

Let us stand for Love, live through His Christ in our daily affairs, cast off the false fears that try to hide His omnipotence and be free.  Let us see Love as a power, dominant over all evil beliefs and fears.

“If you ask a Christian Scientist how they do it, the reply will be in the form of a quotation from Science and Health [p. 494], “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.”⁶

It is that we turn to Love, Divine Love, that always has and always will meet every human need, rising His mankind above the evils of misconception and lifts us in His Divine arms, in the view of His ever-powerfulness and ever-present Love.
