I greet The Indwelling Lover.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Love - The Greatest Thing In The World. Our Father, Creator is Love, which means you, and I are expressions of Love. He Created life in a manner that all must share with other forms of life. No living creature can stand alone. Sharing is love; I call that Primal love. In 1884, Henry Drummond wrote The Greatest Thing In The World, a tiny little book with a very large message. It’s commentary on 1 Corinthians 13. Most of us have asked, “What is the supreme good?” Is it Faith? Is it Hope? Is it Love? The greatest of these is love. Drummond listed nine elements of love. They have common names; things we can practice daily. The nine ingredients are: Patience, Kindness, Generosity, Humility, Courtesy, Unselfishness, Good Temper, Innocence and Sincerity; these make up the supreme gift. You’ll observe that these are into the known today and the near tomorrow, and not to the unknown eternity. Having a burning desire to better understanding and to share love inspired me to write the workshop on The Six Loves.

Even as he is for your growth as is he for your pruning” The Prophet – Kahlil Gibran. All forms of love make the greatest “Pay Forward” gift both to give and receive. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
