Daily Meditation: The Source of All Love

Friday June 13, 2014 The Source of All Love Without the love of our parents, sisters, brothers, spouses, lovers, and friends, we cannot live.  Without love we die.  Still, for many people this love comes in a very broken and limited way.  It can be tainted by power plays, jealousy, resentment, vindictiveness, and even abuse.  No human love is the perfect love our hearts desire, and sometimes human love is so imperfect that we can hardly recognise it as love. In order not to be destroyed by the wounds inflicted by that imperfect human love, we must trust that the source of all love is God's unlimited, unconditional, perfect love, and that this love is not far away from us but is the gift of God's Spirit dwelling within us.   Comment on this Daily Meditation.
