Acting in a godly fashion.

There is no meaning to life without love. Life has no significance. Remove love, the energy of love, the binding force of love, and there is nothing. The statement “God is love” is enormously profound and yet understood on the simplest of concepts. It is easy to think “God is love” means God is like the love between people, but the love which is used to characterize God goes far beyond the human form of love. The form that you know is only a small reflection of the energy that belongs solely to God but which you share in small measure with all.

Being compassionate, being loving become natural behaviors. You do not learn to become compassionate; you allow yourself to be compassionate. You do not learn to be loving; you allow yourself to be loving. You do not learn the right path to follow; you allow yourself to follow the path that is there. You do not learn to be understanding; you allow yourself to be understanding. You do not learn to be creative; you allow yourself to be creative. There is a big difference, for learning implies something new. Allowing yourself to be, to do, is connecting yourself with an energy that is already there. When you act toward another in a godly fashion, it is not because you learned how to live in a godly fashion, but rather that you allowed yourself to be led in a godly fashion. The power, the energy of love, is constant. It is always present and for that reason you can allow yourself to reach your highest potential to reflect God in your life.
