The Law of Love

       


          Now is the time that we are being brought together, to share our Truth with the world. What could this Truth possibly be but love? All the children are brothers, and you should love them all as you love Me. For as you do unto the least of these, you do it unto me. If you bear in mind the truism “as you give, so shall you receive”, you will realize that you also do it unto yourself. And now we are getting at the meaning of giving out of true Self-interest. We do not know our own best interests…until we do, and when we do it is only because we have recognized that our interests are shared. This recognition, or this knowing again of what the mind had dissociated, means that we have now decided to be under God’s law instead of the laws of this world. His law is the law of Love, embodied in the phrase, “My gift unto my brother is my gift unto myself.” Give Love then, that you may have it.

          It is true indeed that no one likes to be fearful, nor does anyone like any of the myriad of other negative emotions that arise out of the ego, such as worry, resentment, and anger. Although they are many—legion--to Me they are one, and the word that best sums them all up is fear. None of them are from Me, for if they were, I could not help you, because I would then be subjected to the same Error as you, and so would be but an erring spirit and a false guide. But you know from experience that when you have turned to Me, you have been helped. The corollary is that when you have ignored me, you have not been helped, not because I was not willing, but because you weren’t. Fear not but that all these errors will be undone, and you will be quietly translate back into the Kingdom, your eternal Home.

          Self-control is like Dante in the novel Paradise Regained, it can take you to the edge of the forest of illusions, but cannot lead beyond it. Christ-control contains all of the virtue of self-control, and provides for that which it lacks. (The Channel is now open…but be sure to let Christ direct it…he knows where it should flow, and to whom, and when) My control can take over what does not matter, and what does not matter in the working of a miracle are things like, who is around or how many, what people may think of you, your questioning of your abilities, and so on. This allows me to guide the miracle along the proper channels, so that it is received by the miracle recipient where it needs to be. And the result is always a return to their right mind, for as I have said, if a miracle does not entail healing, it is not a miracle. The beautiful thing is, they do not need to know who did it, or how, nor do they need to feel gratitude for their healing. None of these things matter, or will reduce the miracle’s efficacy. If you recall what I have said, miracles themselves do not matter, because they are the natural law, which again, is based on God’s One Law of Love.
