“The love of God and peace will be with you.”
2 Corinthians 13:11

A man that I had the honor to work with for many years, was minister and author J. Sig Paulson.

He wrote a classic piece on love that I share with you.

Love is remembering:
To love the Lord, our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, with all of our strength;
To love our self;
To love our neighbor as our self;
To owe no one anything but love;

Love is remembering:
To condemn no one, to keep no score of a wrong, to take no delight in the shortcomings or mistakes of others, to bear no grudges.

Love is remembering:
To be patient, kind, generous, resilient;
And be receptive to the highest and best in all.

Love is remembering:
To set others free, to give them living, growing space – not to be possessive or jealous.

Love is remembering:
Not to boast, not to be conceited, not to be rude or thoughtless.

Love is remembering:
To give as we would receive, to forgive that as we would be forgiven, to bless as we would be blessed, to free as we would be freed.

Love is remembering:
To let our light shine, not only when our world seems to be peaceful, harmonious, and in tune but also when it may appear warlike, inharmonious, and out of tune.
Love is not dependent on outer appearances for its operation.
In fair weather and in foul it shines, like the sun, on the deserving and the undeserving; it sends its healing balm on the just and unjust, it shares its treasures with the beautiful and the unbeautiful, the weak and the strong, the lovable and the unlovable.

Love is remembering:
To believe that there is no limit to love’s endurance, no end of its trust, no fading of its hope.
Love can outlast anything; love never fails.

Love is remembering:
To realize that love is the best way of all, that without it all other gifts are “a noisy gong or a clanging symbol.”
Without love all work, sacrifice, knowledge is meaningless.

Love is remembering:
To have faith that though now we perceive reality mostly “through a glass, darkly,” a glass distorted by fear and false beliefs, the timing is inevitably coming when we will be finished with childlike views and will see reality as it truly is.
And when we see reality as it truly is, we see that ALL is love.

Love is remembering:
To let all things be made new in love, and to give ourselves permission to become new creatures of love and life and light.

Love is remembering:
To give thanks that it is our Creators good pleasure to give us the kingdom of love, life, forgiveness, freedom, and that it is our good pleasure to accept the kingdom and share it with our world.

Love is remembering:
To remember that God is love, that in our Creator there is no darkness, condemnation, nor punishment, and that we are extensions of the infinite love.

Love is remembering:
To let go of fear, resentment, and guilt as they come into awareness, either through quiet contemplation or when they are triggered by the actions or inactions of others. Perfect love casts out fear, resentment, guilt.

Love is remembering:
To remember that our neighbor is also an extension of the infinite love, that we are created to be sons and daughters of our Creator, who is love, as we share this beautiful place called Earth.

Love is remembering:
To know these things about love, but to also know that to be blessed we are not only to think about them in the lofty reaches of prayer but to do them in the daily, down to earth relationships and activities of this very practical world where we live.
Love is rooted in heaven, but it must be lived in the earth.
Practice proves loves power and reality.
Love is nothing until it is shared in living.

Love is remembering:
To see yourself as a son or daughter of God and to treat yourself like one, not theoretically but practically, to treat yourself with respect, affection, appreciation, even admiration in the events of your 24-hour day – at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, waking, sleeping, walking, listening, talking, living, thinking, feeling.
After all, you are the handiwork of God, awakening to and unfolding to your potential that Jesus constantly reminded you about.

Love is remembering:
To see others in your life as sons and daughters of God and to treat them as such, not just in moments of deep insight but especially in the tug and pull of every day, ordinary, and extraordinary exchange of thought, feeling, and action.
After all, they, too, are the handiwork of God, awakening to and unfolding their potential.
Jesus told us to love them.

Love is remembering:
To be true to the true nature of our self which is love, to remember who we are, what we are, why we are, and where we are going.

Love is remembering:
To remember that love is our God;
Life is our religion;
Humanity is our church;
Loving our neighbor and our self is our daily worship.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, show me if there is someone in my life who would be blessed by my sharing the Christ light with them.
I know that there is always someone close in need of a kind word, a loving deed, a faith-filled prayer, or a warm smile – show me that person.
Help me not to be blind to the needs of others that are near me this day.
Help me to reach out to others with love, compassion, and care.
Help me to raise my world to a new level of peace and understanding through my actions.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

As I let my Christ light shine, I bless others with God’s love through me.
