UNSELFISH LOVE RECEIVES DIRECTLY THE DIVINE POWER
“Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love receives directly the divine power” (p. 192). Wow! If my actions are unselfed, I can count on God’s power for help.
“Unselfed love” is the key. It is strikingly different from unselfish action based on human do-goodism. To me it means getting beyond a limited mortal sense of identity separate from God, and recognizing that, in fact, we actually express God’s nature as His beloved immortal creation. Even though our motives for human action might be well-meaning, they may not be as effective as when we consciously recognize our inseparability from our divine source. When we put aside any sense of acting independently, on our own, we open the door to the expression of God’s goodness and love, which empower us in our efforts to help others.
Our efforts for good, when coming from a place of unselfed or spiritually pure love for others, are not only nice things to do, but have the power of God, divine Love, behind them. Christ Jesus is a wonderful example of this. During his three-year healing ministry, his unselfed love for others opened the way for the divine to be demonstrated through his wonderful healing works. He understood God’s great love for mankind and knew that this love was a power available to all. Today, 2,000 years later, we are still feeling the impact of that unparalleled example of unselfed love.
