Title: God Playing Hide-and-Seek Post by: guest88 on Nov 03, 2019 04:30 pm Though this is specifically about the loss of a loved one after their passing, the same can be applied when considering our selfish motives by hoping to force something in an environment that is not conducive to those wishes. I.E., "Love me in this manner because I need it." "Recognize me in this way because I am owed it."
II:30 p.242-243 Quote The grief of most human beings over the deaths of those close to them is due to selfishness, because of a personal loss of some form of service or comfort. Very few people love others without a tinge of selfish interest- that is the nature of human love. Most people grieve, not for the beloved, but for their personal deprivement! Divine love recognizes all good persons who enter our lives as expressions of God's love for us. Every friend- in the guise of relatives, friends, beloved, spouse- who is with us now or who has left this earth is a medium through which God Himself symbolizes His friendship. To ignore of abuse friendship, therefore, is an affront to God. In all our harmonious relations we must remember that it is God who is playing hide-and-seek from behind the living hearts. We should never ignore or forget any kindness or service extended to us by a friend. Ingratitude and indifference wither even the stoutest oak of friendship.

All mankind are not only our friends, but our Self! Friends are God in disguise. God the Friend behind all friends! God the only faithful Lover! God gives us friends and beloved relatives that we may have the opportunity through these relationships to culture elementary love, the first stage of expansion beyond self-love towards divine love. But because man becomes attached to dear ones in a limiting way, the divine law takes them away, not as punishment, but to teach the law of universal love.

As an example that we both know; Nikki who was an administrator on the board here and helped create this site. I still feel her presence and sometimes more than when she was here. Most likely because she can express more easily from Spirit now and not thru a limiting physical body. It would not surprise me at all if she showed up in some way on the site again. I can say this about other friends as well.

From this Now, the Divine, comes all manner of splendor and magic!! =) =) Here's to INTOBLUE! Thanks for the comeback here. The idea of developing the expansion of universal love has been on my mind most of my life. God gives us friends and beloved relatives that we may have the opportunity through these relationships to culture elementary love, the first stage of expansion beyond self-love towards divine love. But because man becomes attached to dear ones in a limiting way, the divine law takes them away, not as punishment, but to teach the law of universal love. |
