Being loved and loving unconditionally.


The protection of God then dawns upon it (the mind), assuring it that it is perfectly safe forever. The perfectly safe are wholly benign. They bless because they know that they are blessed. Without anxiety the mind is wholly kind, and because it extends beneficence it is beneficent. Safety is the complete relinquishment of attack. No compromise is possible in this. Teach attack in any form and you have learned it, and it will hurt you. Yet this learning is not immortal, and you can unlearn it by not teaching it. T-6.111.3:3-10

When a person knows that they are loved unconditionally by God they feel safe forever. There is nothing to fear and therefore nothing to attack. By loving others unconditionally we enhance our own experience of being loved unconditionally by our Transcendent Source.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. In applying this principle we look for the perfect in ourselves and in every other person. Having looked for it we will find it and when we find it peace and joy arise.


Today it is suggested that we reflect and acknowledge the unconditional love of God in ourselves and others and when we experience it to give thanks.
