Gloria to God:

Dear Father of All, I came across Matthew 6:7 in a Bible Crossword puzzle: "When ye pray, use not vain repetitions." It doesn't mean not to say repetitive prayers, does it?

God:

It means not to just mouth the words but to be present with them, to repeat a prayer with your heart impulsing it.

If you pray without heart, it is like your hand giving a penny to one who asks while your eyes do not look upon the one you toss it to.

More of What Love Is About

The expression "Love everlasting" isn't quite correct because there is no corollary to the permanence of love. It cannot unlast. It can only be. It is all that can be. Nothing else is nor can be. Love can be kicked around — it is kicked around — and yet it is still love and it is unaffected.

The Floodgates of Love

You have ideas about love. Love doesn't need your ideas. Love cannot be reduced to your descriptions of it. What occurs on the surface of life is extraneous to love. Of course, you thought that surface expression was what love was about. But, whatever goes on with love on the surface of life is but an inkling.

Love

Every day a child is born. Every day there is rejoicing. Giving birth is great cause for rejoicing. It proves that even the physical body is an instrument of God's Will. The arrival of a new baby gives you a great inkling of the spiritual realms. You know the baby is more than its physicality, and you know that your baby is fresh from a Godly realm. You know it is a child of God you hold in your arms, and you feel a great surging of love in your heart, and you know you are blessed with the love of God and a fruitful life.

So That All the World May See

Your intellect keeps you back from full enlightenment, and so you are busy with your brain and less attuned to your effulgent heart. You may have heard that you are already fully enlightened, but that is not your experience. In order to experience it, you have to be aware of it. You experience through awareness. I would say that you are aware of too many other things that get in the way of Reality and Self-realization. Knowledge becomes ignorance. The intellect takes twists and turns. A treasure lies buried among debris.

The Light of Your Love

The truth is that all of your concerns are for naught. All the things that you get into a tizzy about are nothing at all. Certainly, they seem momentous, even gigantic to you, but in the light of love, they evanesce. In the light of love, all is light. Love leaves no room for shadow. The love light in your heart is not dependent upon any object you place as responsible for it. Love issues from your heart, and it remains there. No matter what the direction of your love, no matter what it focuses on, love is love and exists irrespective of the objects it emanates to.

From Where Love Comes

Don't mind so much that thoughts flit in and out of your mind. That is their nature. They will be gone soon enough anyway, and others will fly in to take their place. You don't have to keep your train of thought.

Sometimes you think that your thoughts hold you and the universe together, but it is Being that holds the universe together. It is Being that holds everything together.

The Bell of Your Heart

Your body houses you but you do not own it. Nor does the body own you unless you build an altar to it. If your body is foremost in your mind, then you have given your allegiance to it. You have made it the master and you the servant. When the perfection of the physical is the basis for love, the physical owns you.

Let attraction for another be more than the shape of their limbs. Hone your eyes to the sustenance of the beauty that lasts. Let two souls touch, and then the body follow. Let there be love more than usage.

Let Your Heart Grow to the Sun

The only purpose of darkness can be to emphasize the light. In this sense, darkness is a nurturer. Consider that it is. Consider that darkness is a blessing. Hidden from view, blessing nevertheless it is.

Where can you go from darkness but into the light? In that sense, darkness is a direct path.

From the illusion of darkness comes the reality of light.

It is not that you adjust your eyes to darkness. It is that you see beyond the darkness.

A Heart Full of Love

The Human heart is drawn to beauty. Beauty, love, joy are the food for the Human heart. It cannot thrive without them. It can survive without sensational drama and worldly accomplishment, but not without love. Love emanates to and fro the Human heart.

The Human heart doesn't need despair. It needs no restriction. Your Human heart desires love because your heart knows what it is for. Your heart, without interference from you, knows not hesitation. The Human heart is a thirsty horse who goes right to the well.
