What would love have me do?


The third step is thus one of protection for your mind, allowing you to identify only with the center, where God placed the altar to Himself. Altars are beliefs, but God and His creations are beyond belief because they are beyond question. The Voice for God speaks only for belief beyond question, which is the preparation for being without question. As long as belief in God and His Kingdom is assailed by any doubts in your mind, His perfect accomplishment is not apparent to you. This is why you must be vigilant on God’s behalf. The ego speaks against His creation, and therefore engenders doubt. You cannot go beyond belief until you believe fully. T-6.V.C.7:1-7

The third step or lesson of the Holy Spirit is “Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom.” This step has to be taken whole heartedly without any distraction from the world of the ego. The ego wants you to believe that it can make you happy. This belief is what is being referred to in the Our Father prayer which says “...lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil…”


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning which is to be found beyond the world of the ego and in the Kingdom of God.


Today it is suggested that we eschew the temptations of the world of the ego and focus instead on the question, “What would love have me do?”
