I gave only love to the Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you believe you are determines your gifts, and if God created you by extending Himself as you, you can only extend yourself as He did. Only joy increases forever, since joy and eternity are inseparable. God extends outward beyond limits and beyond time, and you who are co-creator with Him extend His Kingdom forever and beyond limit. Eternity is the indelible stamp of creation. The eternal are in peace and joy forever. T-7.I.5:1-6
A Course in Miracles (p. 244). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
The “I” in the passage above is the Jesus of A Course In Miracles. Jesus said that he extended the unconditional love of God because that is who he believed he was. Jesus tells us that we can do the same thing as he did and it brings great peace and joy.
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and the encouragement to spiritual growth. This spiritual growth involves nurturing our souls into the eternal where there is no time and space and only peace and joy forever. This is our faith and the faith of our Universalist forebearers.
Today it is suggested that we remind ourselves who we are and why we are here. We are here to extend the unconditional love of God into the world of the ego to dispel the ego’s grip on humanity so we can shift our focus on the Wholeness from which we have emerged and to which we return.
