I greet The Indwelling Beloved Lover Loving.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Love Part Six – Agape; unconditional love. Affirming love’s characteristics. The Spiritual Love which goes out from us to God came first from Him. Where Agape is, the Presence of God Is, for God Is Love. When we have cleaned house, new useless illusions rush in, but when God arrives, Agape fills our consciousness and the half gods are transformed into His service. The need for the beloved is not love. The desire to be loved is not love. The delight in being loved is not love. When Agape enters our natural loves, Philia, Storge, Eros, Primal-love and Self-love are transformed into God’s loving service. Agape is a Gift-Love. Each of the natural loves is a reflection of Agape, but all fall short. Natural loves are need-loves where Agape has no need. God’s Love works both ways. He gives us His Love, and He causes us to be able to receive His Love. With this come the ability to love others, and also the ability to receive love from others. It enables us to love Him back. With Agape we need humans less but delight in loving more. With Storge, Philia, Eros and Self-love we have a problem receiving the unconditional Love of God because we are so conditional. Humans want to be loved and special in the eyes of God or others. We are created in our Father’s image and likeness, which is love and so are we. Thy Love, Thy Will Be done.
