The real deal on love

Picture
Real love is indestructible. The greatest injustices perpetrated against one haven’t the power to alter the innate capacity to love. Love is a spiritual faculty, deep and constant. As the image and likeness of God, we each reflect the divine Love that is God. There is no avoiding Love. There is no stopping love. Love loves, so we love.

Love is power. Love heals. It’s a fact that hate can’t persist in the presence of the pure goodness and unselfed love of divine Love. Discerning the true spiritual nature of man as the image and likeness of Love, we witness Love’s power, we experience dominion over evil.

Real love is practical. It isn’t wishy-washy, colorless, or flat. It isn’t lukewarm. Love is a spiritual force, active, resilient, prompt to respond. Love is tender and firm.  Divine Love is our Mother. She nourishes, clothes, shelters and protects us. Love is our Shepherd searching tirelessly, finding us when we are lost. Love is our Father. He has graven us on the palms of His hands – that tender spot where we are safe and secure. We live uncrushable lives in Love.

In a short essay titled "Love", Christian Science discoverer Mary Baker Eddy wrote,

 "What a word! I am in awe before it. Over what worlds on worlds it hath range and is sovereign! the underived, the incomparable, the infinite All of good, the alone God, is Love...

"Love cannot be a mere abstraction, or goodness without activity and power. As a human quality, the glorious significance of affection is more than words: it is the tender, unselfish deed done in secret; the silent, ceaseless prayer; the self-forgetful heart that overflows; the veiled form stealing on an errand of mercy, out of a side door; the little feet tripping along the sidewalk; the gentle hand opening the door that turns toward want and woe, sickness and sorrow, and thus lighting the dark places of earth."  MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS, 249-250

god's Thank you for a fresh insight on our Divine Principle, Love and your reference of God the Father who "has graven us on the palm of His hands-that tender spot where we are safe and secure."
Your statement helps me see that our creator is lovingly, tenderly, holding and remembering each of His/Her children, including me.
remembering of each of His children gives me such an expansive view of Love!
In researching the reference that god has graven us upon the palm of his hands in last week's Lesson Sermon, one reference (NICOT) said that that was the opposite of normal practice. Instead of the master's name written on the servant's hand, the servant's was on the Master's. MacArthur said that it referred to the Jews' custom of puncturing their hands (tattooing?) with a symbol of their city and temple as a sign of their devotion.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your research with us.

Betty, I love what your research has taught us about the servant's name in the Master's palm.
Michelle, I love the way you explained how we are always remembered, held and kept safe in the palms of the Lord -living an uncrushable life in the Lord

Excellent.....and since there is no stopping love, it must be true that when a loved one passes on , that love felt and expressed must still continue.

Your comment has me thinking of the people involved in the mudslide in Oso, WA, and those on MH flight 370. Love is eternal. No one is lost. They are in Love. Still graven on the Father's hand. Living their uncrushable life. Still loving. Still loved.

Thank you for commenting, Christy.

    Michelle Nanouche, Christian Science teacher, spirituality, healing, prayer

    ​






    I have practiced Christian Science professionally in
    some form since 1979.
    But my journey with
    Christian Science started
    in a Sunday school
    where as a young child
    I was taught the Scriptures and some simple basics
    of Jesus' method of
    scientific Christian healing.
    A significant experience
    at the age of twelve
    opened my eyes to
    the great potential
    of this practice. 
    After impaling my foot
    on a nail,
    I prayed the way I had learned
    in Sunday school.
    Within moments
    the pain stopped
    and healing began.
    By the next morning the wound had disappeared completely.
    Having experienced
    the great potential
    ​of Christian Science,
    there would be no
    turning back.
