The Love You Seek

The Love You Seek
The love you seek is also seeking you. Love is in your heart, at the very center of your being—an inherent part of you because you had your beginning in God, and God is love. You are created by God’s love, which is unconditional, all-encompassing, and totally fulfilling.
How wonderfully reassuring to realize that your desire for happiness and fulfilling relationships is but the love of God in your heart seeking expression through you! Every moment of your life becomes an opportunity to prove God’s love by expressing it in all your thoughts, words, and actions.
God’s love will satisfy every need of your mind and heart. You may have found some experiences in your life difficult to understand, but in every season of trial or change, the love of God is with you to strengthen, sustain, and guide you.
“In all these things,” the apostle Paul assures us, “we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither … things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God” (Rom. 8:37-39).
You live and move and have your being in God. Your acceptance of God’s love is the determining factor between a barren life and a joyful, love-filled, victorious life. Whether or not you express love, God’s love is always seeking you, always surrounding you.
When you become still in prayer and meditate on God’s love, consciously seeking to let it flow through you, your life undergoes the metamorphosis that love always accomplishes. Realizing that you are a living, responsive, radiant expression of God’s love uplifts your heart and fills your life with the goodness of God. By your glowing face, positive speech, and loving attitude toward others, the world knows that you are God’s love in action, giving and receiving love continuously.
In joyous awareness of God’s magnanimous, outreaching love, we pray. Our love enfolds you as you grow in your awareness of God’s love within you and let it radiate through you into every phase of your life. We rejoice that you are fulfilling God’s will of love in your life.

Blossom of LoveBy James Dillet Freeman
There is a golden flowerMost beautiful to see;It is the gentle bloomingOf love in you and me.
There is a golden flameWhose warmth is felt     nowhere,Save in the outstretched heartThat turns to God in prayer.
There is a golden thoughtAs shining as the sun;It is the understandingThat God and you are one.
