Love Speaks
Hello you
This is Love speaking.
You were conceived by me in love.
I was at your beginning and I will be at your end.
I was with you before your earthly beginning and I shall be with you when you depart.
You may know me by another name for Love is God and God is Love
Or you may know me without knowing my name.
I have existed for all time and I exist beyond and outside of time, which people call eternity
I created you with love and now you are being called by me.
I am calling you so that you can return to your true nature, which is Love.
Come to me and all shall be well
Come to me and I shall make you whole.
Love is for all
I am Love.
If you wish, think of me as your mother and your father as I have no gender.
I am every gender and no gender.
You were born from me in love and I love you unreservedly.
You cannot earn my love for my love is for all time and eternity.
And is for all my creatures.
Compare it to the unconditional love of parents for their children
They love their children even when they go astray.
Or think of me like the light of the Sun.
The light shines on the good and the bad alike.
And the rain falls on the good ground and on the infertile ground.
I am here for your growth.
You cannot earn my love
I am love.
I love you more than you can imagine.
You think that you have to earn my love by being good.
You think that I will punish you when you are bad.
I like you when you are good and I love you too.
I don’t like it when you are bad, but I love you still.
You cannot earn my love by being good, but I rejoice in your goodness.
I do not hate you when you are bad, but I rejoice when you turn away from evil.
You are punished by your own bad deeds.
You are your own worst enemy.
I am your lover and your friend.
My love is constant.
Love is in your heart
I am love.
I reside at the centre of your being.
I am in your heart.
I am waiting patiently for you to find me there.
Sometimes you fail to notice me because you are too busy with your own concerns.
You are worried about what others are thinking of you.
You are busy accumulating things to own.
You think you are loving your self, but what you are loving is your false self.
You will never find happiness in fame.
You will never find happiness in what you own.
True treasure is to be found only within your heart.
I am waiting for you there.
Everything is love
I am love.
I created the world with love
Everything and every creature is made in my image.
Which means that everything to you is a brother or sister.
From the smallest particles to the largest galaxies.
It is you who make divisions and build walls.
I am one and you are also of the one.
Knowledge requires you to sort and to name.
But deeper knowledge never separates or divides.
Love holds everything together.
Every particle vibrates with the energy of love.
I am that love.
Love your enemies
I am love.
You too are love.
It gives me great joy when you love one another.
When you hate one another and fight wars then my heart is broken.
When you fight wars in the name of God then you are far away from me.
War is never my way.
Love your enemies.
This is always the way.
Then your enemies will become your friends.
War will be no more.
And love will be restored.
I am that love.
My love knows no bounds
I am love.
My love knows no bounds.
I love the least and I love the greatest.
My love, like water, flows to the lowest point.
It quenches the thirst of every living being.
Water is in every living cell
I am there too.
More than this, my energy is in every particle.
The energy that holds the universe together is my love.
You vibrate with this living energy.
My love is in you.
My love is in everything.
Love between two people
Whenever two people love one another I am there too.
My love is like a third presence.
A threefold cord is not easily broken.
The gender of the lovers matters not.
The love between a man and a woman is beautiful.
The love between a man and another man is beautiful too.
So too the love between a woman and another woman is beautiful.
Rejoice that such love may express itself in caring physical intimacy,
Above all be mindful of the beauty which resides in your hearts.
If love is in your hearts, then love triumphs.
And love is always beautiful.
The challenge of inequality
I am love
I do not like inequality.
When one person has too much.
And others have not enough, then I am sad.
It is not good for the person who accumulates too much.
Or for the poor person who suffers through want of their basic needs.
Both are poor.
One is poor in basic wants and the other lives a poor life as long as suffering exists.
We are all connected to one another.
Kindness and love lead us to share
To sleep not well until all have enough.
Love calls us to action.
Find good work
I am love.
Look carefully at your work.
Try to do work that benefits all.
Avoid work that brings divisions and fuels hatred.
Give up training if it involves killing people.
Run away from making weapons that destroy.
Find work that heals and brings peace.
There is plenty you could be doing.
If everyone chose good work, then war would end.
The masters of war would have no one to do their work
Peace would return to the earth.
Love would triumph.
Love the soil
I am love.
I love the soil.
Good growth comes from healthy soil.
If you love to eat good food then tend to the earth.
Be not too proud to learn from the humble worm
Who loves to pass the soil through the gut
And increases the life of the soil.
Farmers and gardeners delight in being partners with the worm
Doing all in your power to increase soil fertility.
Adding lots of organic matter
Look at the way nature recycles everything
I love that.
Love the trees
I am love.
I love trees.
I create them with many roots extending through the soil.
And many branches providing flowers and fruit.
They provide homes for the animals and birds.
And shade for everyone.
Try to be like the trees
Grow roots downwards firmly linking yourselves to the soil.
Grow branches upwards reaching to the sky and to the heavens.
You too can produce much fruit
And be a blessing to the earth.
I will love you for this.
Love the forests
I am love.
I love the forests of the earth.
They are the lungs of the planet.
Take good care of them.
When you cut them down for short-term gain
You are in severe danger of ruining the world
Of exposing the soil and turning it to dust.
The forest stabilises the climate
Conserving water and holding it
Protecting the earth from too much heat during the day
And acting as a blanket at night.
You are wise to love them and protect them.
Loving the body
I am love.
I love the bodies that I have made.
I have used flesh and blood to express my love for you.
When you love your body then you are loving me.
Your body is a temple in which I love to reside.
You think some bodies are more perfect than others
But I live in every body that I have made
All bodies are beautiful to me
For I see not as you see
I see with the eyes of love
I look to the human heart
And every heartbeat is precious to me.
I love your silence
I am love
I love it when you are silent
For then I am able to be with you.
I am with you all the time
But oftentimes you are too busy and noisy to notice me.
Go quietly into the silence of your heart.
Breathe slowly and deeply and take your time.
Sit quietly and make yourself comfortable
Seek out others who love to do the same.
Learn to do this every day
And I will come to you.
I will come to you in love.
I love bread
I am love
Oftentimes I come to you as bread
When you pray for bread every day
My heart leaps for joy and I love to feed you.
You love to eat and I love to supply you with food.
When the poor are without bread
Then my love fails to reach the right place.
When the poor are hungry
Then share your bread.
My love is for all.
Break and share the bread.
This is my love embodied.
