“Here you and I live intertwined by the invisible thread of perfect love. There is no longer room for the temptations that one day led my beloved to think that she had to focus her life on survival, recognition of others, acceptance of peers, life plans–things that had nothing to do with the blessed expression of her being.” Choose Only Love, bk.7, 1:I. Message from Jesus.
“My beloved” in this quotation is the intimate way that Jesus speaks to us, and in this case he uses the feminine pronoun. But he does not mean to exclude the masculine. He speaks warmly of the perfect love that we share with him, a love that moves his heart as well as our own.
Many of us have sought kudos in this world–the perfect career, popularity among our peers, acclaim–but these are false values borne of the ego. A true, loving expression of one’s being does not extend to egotistical acquisition. A true, loving expression of our being is all that is ever asked of us. And we know when we are being true to ourselves, when we are being truly ourselves.
Success is not measured by the world’s standards, and the closer we walk with God, the more convinced we are of this. Jesus would have us work with good values, and truth and love are at the top of his list.
