What would Love have me do?


To think you can oppose the Will of God is a real delusion. The ego believes that it can, and that it can offer you its own “will” as a gift. You do not want it. It is not a gift. It is nothing at all. God has given you a gift that you both have and are. When you do not use it, you forget that you have it. By not remembering it, you do not know what you are. Healing, then, is a way of approaching knowledge by thinking in accordance with the laws of God, and recognizing their universality. Without this recognition, you have made the laws meaningless to you. Yet the laws are not meaningless, since all meaning is contained by them and in them. T-7.IV.6:1-11

Peace and bliss is experienced when we bring our will into alignment with God’s will for us. The above passage does not negate free will. We are free to deny or ignore God’s will for us. We can choose the world of the ego or the Kingdom of God.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning which is seeking to discern God’s will in all that we choose to do.


Today it is suggested that as we go about our day in the back of our minds we continually ask “What would Love have me do?”
