What would Love have me do?


Joy is unified purpose, and unified purpose is only God’s. When yours is unified it is His. Believe you can interfere with His purpose, and you need salvation. You have condemned yourself, but condemnation is not of God. Therefore it is not true. No more are any of its seeming results. When you see a brother as a body, you are condemning him because you have condemned yourself. Yet if all condemnation is unreal, and it must be unreal since it is a form of attack, then it can have no results. T-8.VII.15:1-8

The above passage can bring one to laughter if the reader gets it. St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “If God is with you, who can be against you?” We use our free will to ignore God’s will for us and when we do we can be asked, “How is that working out for you?” We cannot ignore God’s will for us, which is unconditional love, forever. We think we can, but that thought is just stupid and laughable.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This search ultimately comes down to discerning God’s will for us and all God’s creation.


Today, if we are attempting to know God’s will for us all we need to do is ask “What would Love have me do?” and be open and honest in listening for the answer which comes from the Holy Spirit.
