The extension of God’s Being is spirit’s only function. Its fullness cannot be contained, any more than can the fullness of its Creator. Fullness is extension. The ego’s whole thought system blocks extension, and thus blocks your only function. It therefore blocks your joy, so that you perceive yourself as unfulfilled. Unless you create you are unfulfilled, but God does not know unfulfillment and therefore you must create. You may not know your own creations, but this can no more interfere with their reality than your unawareness of your spirit can interfere with its being. T-7.IX.3:1-7

The Blues Brothers said that they were on “a mission from God.” The mission of God is extending God’s unconditional love into the world around you. You are a conduit. The gospel song’s title is “This little light” and the verse is “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.” The verse is a bit misleading because it is not “my mine” but Thine which I am simply extending by sharing.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and the encouragement to spiritual growth. We encourage spiritual growth by extending God’s conditional love to others.
Today it is suggested that you bask in the radiance of God’s unconditional love and then extend it to others.
