Reflections on Love

These thoughts of the Divine came to mind as I was riding in my car earlier
today. They seemed inspired, so I decided that I should share them.

Love. We believe God is Love.
Everything that is of worth and that will stand is birthed out of love.
I think about children. Those not birthed out of love are called bastards.
Then, I think about all labor. All labor not birthed out of love is fruitless.
I was thinking of all the bastard work that I'm doing! All the work I just
do out of selfish reasons, not out of love.

But, labors of love seem to take on a life of their own and
take care of the people that create them.

Yes, love is the the most powerful creative force in the world.
It's taken me a long time to block out the things in my life that
were birthed out of greed, envy, lust, and pride. Those things
won't carry me far. God has one law, that is to love.

Funny we segment it, and only apply love to relationships, but if you
really think about it. You have a relationship with all the things that
surround you, and you have a choice to create with Love or to create
out of other things that will not stand.

Productive work is work that is done out of love for those that will benefit.
That is why sharing the Gospel is the most productive work that a person
can be doing.
