Love is always reflected in love (Part 4)

"Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors."
And Love is reflected in love.

What is this "debt" of love that you owe, other than to fulfill the two great commandments that Jesus said fulfill "all the law and the prophets"?

And what are these two great commandments?

To love God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
And, to love your neighbor as yourself.

This is your debt. This is what you owe to God: You must love.

And if you love enough to forgive, then you will understand that you are also so wonderfully loved by God as to actually be forgiven.

The unconditional love of God is never "earned" - it is always freely pouring out on us. Jesus said God makes His "sun to rise on the evil and on the good" and sends His "rain on the just and on the unjust." God's love is completely unconditional. But when we hate, dispise, ignore, we are certainly not in a position to even recognize - let alon receive - that free gift of God's unconditional love! With our heart closed in a knot of self-ishness, how can we possibly be open to love?

But if you open your thought - and your heart - to even the possibility of love, then be ready!

His Love will do its perfect work in you, as you. And you intuitively know that Love is the most natural thing in the world.

In fact, living His Love is your purpose.

Living His Love is why you're here.

Get busy!
