More on love

Love’s the only way to know things. We can’t even interpret things without Love. And believe me, we need to know how to interpret things now. Love knows. Love brings understanding. Love is our hermeneutic, or method of interpretation. St John taught us, that we cannot even know one another, apart from Love, for as He put it: “God is Love.”

But love is also practical. Love is making things whole, or more truly themselves. Love is then the healer in every direction. It heals us, as we offer it to others. It heals them, or makes them more whole to the degree we are truly inside of Love. Love is a place in God.

St John taught us that we can even tell who people are by their love. And whether they are in life. Love is the key to discernment.

We can’t understand the daily news without being in Love, and we can’t discern another’s heart or bless them apart from Love. Love, as St Paul put it, is the highest “way”.

Love does more than assume the best, it calls it into being in one another. This is why heaven is made of Love. Love is an active orientation, and places us inside of God. Love is a metaphysical space in God, as is Peace. We are told to abide in these parts of God’s Spirit. Love is therefore the highest commandment—to know God is to love Him, for He is made of Love. For God so loved the world…

Love sees you into your brightest spot. As we love, we are ourselves transformed. Love is not an ideal, it is a metaphysical space in God, we are commanded to dwell in. It’s the actual living poetry of His Own Being. All other true poetry comes from that place. It is the estuary of song and being. The origin point of all that is Real. Love is our home already and forever.
