[Marsha's thoughts]
Self-help books which attempt to teach us about love will usually talk of the various faces of love. In the divinely metaphysical studies of which I partake there is no division in this attribute of God which we reflect as Its image and likeness. This Love does not judge. No one is more worthy of Love than another. No one is more capable or less capable of expressing this Love. Now this certainly is not what seems to be true in the world we see. But God is "no respecter of persons", which means that we are all the same. Can I begin to fathom what that means? It would seem not in this material illusion we call life. We must have a "clean and open mind" to understand these truths. We tend to rebel when we think someone is trying to take some long-held belief from us. The idea that all the varying degrees of love we feel is not real could tend to be upsetting. But let's not take this personally! Today's lesson states: "What the world believes was made to hide Love's meaning." In thinking about what this means, I will attempt to set aside everything I believe as I hold to this larger view of Love, this all-encompassing goodness which leaves no room for blame or guilt. We are asked to hold the following Truth at least three times an hour: "I bless you, brother, with the Love of God, which I would share with you. For I would learn the joyous lesson that there is no love but God's and yours and mine and everyone's." Every instance where I catch a glimpse of this true Love is a moment to treasure.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Love is infinite. Therefore all that really exists is in and of God, and manifests His love.”
