No right mind can believe that’s it’s will is stronger than God’s. If then, a mind believes that it’s will is different from God’s it can only decide either that there is no God or that God’s Will is fearful. The former accounts for the atheist and the latter for the martyr, who believes that God demands sacrifices. Both of these insane decisions will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone and the martyr believes that God is crucifying him.
Love can only exist between equals.
There is nothing complicated about the act of love. It only becomes complicated when one starts to withhold love, and then it ceases to be love that one offers.
The experience of unconditional love begins in your heart, not in someone else’s.
Unless you are happy now, you will never be happy.
Don’t try to live without fear. To try to live without fear is the most fearful proposition you can imagine. Just acknowledge the fear and move through to the other side of it.
You learn to love yourself by seeing how you withhold love from yourself. And you often see how you withhold love from yourself by seeing how you withhold it from others.
Remember this, right now, in this moment, you’re either listening to the voice of God or you are needlessly enmeshed in your own psychodrama. Right now, you are either happy or you’re finding fault with the circumstances of your life. Let yourself be present to your thoughts and ask, “Am I aware of God’s unconditional love for me right now.”
The laws of this world no longer limit the man or woman whose heart is open. And so miracles happen, not through any special activity, but merely as an extension of love itself.
The fact that God is Love does not require belief, but it does require acceptance.
