Years ago I read a touching
account of a woman who, as she was coming back to her
hotel-room, found a burglar rummaging through her bureau drawer where she had her jewelry
and a considerable amount of money. He had a gun pointed at her.
She talked
to
him quietly, told him to go right ahead and help himself to anything she had,
as obviously he needed it more than she did if he had to be stealing
it. Suddenly, the man let out a low cry and ran from the room taking
nothing. The next day she received a note from him in which he
said, “I’m not afraid of hate. But you showed love and kindness. It disarmed
me.”
--From Pitirim A. Sorokin, The Ways
and Power of Love—
The mandate for you and I to love our enemies, stretches human
capacity to its limits, but, is based on the higher and larger law, justice,
and mercy of God, and His great love for each of us.
–Eva-Maria—
In mathematical
computations wrong answers are the results, not of any flaw in the governing
rule or law, but of ignorance of such rule or law or improper application of
it. The right answer is always assured through correct knowledge and
application of a rule or law governing any situation, be it mathematical or
otherwise.
--Russell L. Farmer
I am like a green
olive tree
in the house of
LOVE – in the house of GOD!
Song of Love
Beloved, let us love: for Love is God;
In God alone hath love its true abode.

| E-M |
Beloved, let us love: for they who love,
They only, are His sons, born from above.
Beloved, let us love: for love is light,
And he who lovesth not dwelling in night.
Beloved, let us love: for only thus
Shall we behold God who loveth us.
--Horatius Bonar—
… thou art greatly loved:
… thou art mine!
--The Bible, Daniel 9:23 & Isaiah 43:2----

Love that binds
As you and I learn to know Love
and its healing power
we experience its gentle tranquility;
purity, and grace, where
harmony and joy superbly flower.
Here, we rest safe
in the Christly consciousness of good,
where Love reflected by you and me
is silently understood.
Aware that Love bright with light
exposes evil’s tales, we see
unkind, selfish, fearful thoughts
as error-woven,
tattered, unreal veils
--evil as naught.
We feel spiritually bold, strengthened
by God’s unerring law—
accepting gratefully divine Love
and its shadow-dissolving
radiant glow.
And hear Love’s voice, sublime,
gently saying, “All, all are mine.”
We behold
God-derived brotherly affections
spiritually bind.

Christian Science Journal, October 1997— |

"Lo, I am
with you always," -- that is, not only in all time, but in all ways and
conditions.

the Scriptures, p. 317
-- by Mary Baker Eddy--
Love is fragrant with unselfishness ……….

Love is not love
Which alters when
it alteration finds.
Or bends with the
remover to remove:
O, no! It is an
ever-fixed mark,
That looks on
tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to
every wandering bark …
–Shakespeare—
Since thou wast precious in my
sight,
thou hast been honourable,
And I have loved thee:
I, even I, am the Lord;
--The Bible, Isaiah 43:4, 11-

The Dove of Peace
With
every gesture of love
we
make
with
every word of love
we
speak
a
dove of peace is born--
engulfed
in light
it is
lifting high
above
hate and discord
into our heart’s space.
--Eva-Maria--
I am listening to the
voice of LOVE! When out-doors or indoors listening to the songs of birds,
to the wind, to the rushing-sound of trees, and ocean waves, and yes to the
pulse of the city, listening to the voices near and far, to music, to different
sounding languages (I live in a multi-language city) listening to those who are
needy, listening to the heart expressed in words, listening to a friend,
listening to Love, listening in silence, I have learned so much from listening,
and it gives me joy, especially when listening to the still small voice
within!
--Eva-Maria
Blessed, Thine
Delighted, Father-Mother, because
I am gratefully pondering good today,
Considering how You, dear source above,
Enrich me, that I may
Know my being deep in Your love.
Revealed as the image of Truth divine,
I behold through healing staff and rod
That I am blessed, blessed,
Blessed, Thine.
Eva-Maria

With my best wishes to you,
Eva-Maria
