Message from Jesus, in the Gospel of God’s Love, page 141.
“I want to write on human’s natural love. This love is one that’s not understood by humanity in one important particular: It is not one that will give humans the highest dergee of happiness which they may obtain in either the mortal life or the life to come.
“This love is of a nature that changes with the change in the ideas and desires of humans, and has not that stability that will serve to keep them constant in their affections. No person who has only this love can ever be in condition to say that they will continue to have this love for all time; and when they think that their love can never change or leave them, they are only giving thought to a wish. This love is one that may last for a long time, and sometimes it seems that it can never die or grow less; yet in its very nature it has not that constancy which insures its lasting existence.
“I do not mean to say anything disparaging of this natural love, for it is undoubtedly one of the greatest gifts that the Father has bestowed upon humankind, and without it, humans would be in a very unhappy condition. Yet it is not the great love of the Father which all humans may recieve, if they will only seek and strive to obtain it by prayer and faith.
“This natural love is that which unties men and women in harmony while on earth, and enables them to approach nearer to a life of happiness than does any other human quality; but it has the possibility always accompanying it that sometime, in some way, it may cease to exist. The mother’s love is the strongest of all loves given to mortals, and apparently it can never end or ceast to retain all its vitality and beauty. I know it is said that love never dies, but that is not true in regards this natural love; no person can say that their love of today will remain their love of all time.
“Yet there is a love that may be called the natural love that will last forever (providing these souls seek and obtain the divine love), and that is the love God implanted in two souls He designed to become one in spirit life.” To be continued…
