How You Can Talk With God

[Guest guest]

Man's Love is His Sole Gift to God

 

The whole creation was designed as a test for man. By our conduct in

this world we disclose whether we want the Lord or His gifts. God will

not tell you that you should desire Him above all else, because He

wants your love to be freely given, without " prompting " . That is the

whole secret in the game of this universe. He who created us yearns

for our love. He wants us to give it spontaneously, without His

asking. Our love is the one thing God does not possess, unless we

choose to bestow it. So, you see, even the Lord has something to

attain: our love. And we shall never be happy until we give it. So

long as we are wayward children, pygmies crawling on this ball of

earth and crying for His gifts while we ignore Him, the Giver, we fall

into many pits of misery.

 

As God is the Essence of our own being, we cannot truly express

ourselves until we learn to manifest His presence within us. This is

the truth. It is because we are Divine, a part of Him, that we are

unable to find lasting satisfaction in anything material. " Naught

shelters thee, who wilt not shelter Me. " (The Hound of Heaven, by

Francis Thompson). Until you attain contentment in God, you will not

win contentment from anything else.
