ACIM Workbook Lesson #189
“I feel the Love of God within me now.”
I was visiting with friends and talk turned to traveling and problems which arise concerning transportation. Someone made the observation that we remember the really bad things and the really good things. In listening to their recounting of events, I noticed the line between a bad experience and a good one is very thin. One woman told about the frustration of muddled connections being smoothed out by someone offering to make her a sandwich. She was tired and hungry, and this loving gesture from a stranger made everything all better. I would love to write a book called "The Art of Loving People". It would be based around all the beautiful stories of us being kind to each other. The Love which is God is everywhere! All we need do is allow ourselves to feel it and express it.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Love inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way. Right motives give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to speech and action. Love is priestess at the altar of Truth."
Science & Health Page 454:17-21
I like this idea of yours - to write that book!
ReplyDeleteI'm struck on reading this and noting the Lesson: "I feel the Love of God within me now", how important it is that we feel that Love and then move to express it.
Much of my life I have been a Pleaser - which comes from a fear that someone won't like me if I'm not pleasing to them. I am coming to realize that Pleasing isn't Loving and yet Loving is always pleasing.
Acts of Love, which you describe are priceless and rare and so welcome. You can feel that Love when it comes through someone and it feels quite wonderful.
