What would Love have me do?


Selfishness is of the ego, but Self-fullness is of spirit because that is how God created it. The Holy Spirit is in the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the spirit, mediating between them always in favor of the spirit. To the ego this is partiality, and it responds as if it were being sided against. To spirit this is truth, because it knows its fullness and cannot conceive of any part from which it is excluded. T-7.IX.1:4-7

The ego loves conditionally while the Spirit loves unconditionally. This is the faith of the Universalists and is a major understanding of the Perennial Philosophy.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth. This acceptance is based on the unconditional love of the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the encouragement to look past the world of the ego to the world of Spirit.


Today it is suggested that we ask ourselves continually “What would Love have me do?” Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance as we discern the loving path.
