Does Love motivate your behavior?


I have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond to the same Mind to do this. This Mind is the Holy Spirit, Whose Will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep me as the model for your thought, and to behave like me as a result.T-5.II.12: 1 - 3

Jesus is clear in this passage in saying that we should behave as he behaved. Waking up is not just a matter of thoughts and feelings, waking up is manifested in behavior. The behavior is motivated by the Mind which provides a model for how Love is physically enacted.


In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. UUs are encouraged to make these values manifest in the world. This is what Jesus did.


Today, it is suggested that we monitor our behavior and guide it by Love.
