REVERENCE TIPS Day23

So, what is love …? Remember? 🙂

I always loved this song. It is upbeat and sexy. But this song is not about Love. It is about desire – a feeling of the physical, the flesh, the senses – but this kind of love is not Divine Love. Divine Love is a quality and a frequency, not a feeling.

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”

Shakespeare – Romeo and Juliet (2.2.)

Shakespeare’s quote helps me understand the true nature of Love. Love generates itself. The more Love I generate, the more I have for myself.

On this day of Advent,
I remember the warmth of love freely
and generously given

All love is an expression of divine love. Love isn’t generated solely from
within us but instead flows through us from a higher Source. That
makes love inexhaustible. We live in the ocean of love that is God—love
that animates us and, through us, envelops others. We are conduits for
the Divine, expressing God as love …

—Rev. Ellen Debenport

This is my commandment, that you love one another
as I have loved you.

—John 15:12
