Infinite Way Writings

Weekly Passage - for week of 12/26/04



"As Love manifests itself in our experience, we have a measuring rod for discerning whether it is HUMAN Love or DIVINE Love that we are expressing.

"As we live in our homes, in our businesses, in our community and are called upon for expressions of Love in one way or another, we can always ask ourselves, 'Do I expect a return?' If we do, it is human Love, finite Love, and a very unsatisfactory Love....

"The Love that gives true satisfaction and joy is the Love we know we didn't deserve and for which no return is expected. It comes straight from the heart with no desire for a return.

"That is the guide for us."

-- from Joel Goldsmith's "Collected Essays of Joel S. Goldsmith"
Chapter - Love
