Love is not something we do; it is something done to us and we participate in. We love when we fall through life and into our truth.
There are several different words for love, but for the Great Love we fall into, the Great Self, the God Self, Paul used the word “agape,” unconditional or divine love. It is a love we receive as a gift, it is a love we can only participate in; a life bigger than our own.
Paul speaks of the fruits of the Spirit, and love as the greatest gift of the Spirit. Love is something we fall into—usually when we are out of control. When we give in to a power greater than ourselves—that is when we fall into the Great Love that is God.
Love is the realm for perfect seeing. We will not have a judgmental, negative, or critical stance. From somewhere we do not completely understand comes this capacity to forgive, to embrace, to compassionately understand, to let go, and to hand over our small self to the Big Self, to our Higher Power.
With love, we are fully known and fully seen all the way through. We are known, loved, and seen for what we are. All we can do is return the compliment to the rest of reality and know back the way we have been seen and known.
1 Corinthians 13:12 “Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.”
