Divine Love

Full Measure of Divine Love

                                              

“God is not some remote, inaccessible, and implacable Being who demands instant perfection from His creatures and of whose love we must make ourselves worthy.  He is not a tyrant to be obeyed out of terror, nor a policeman who is ever on the watch, nor the judge ever ready to apply the verdict of guilty.  We should relate to Him less and less in terms of reward and punishment and more and more on basis of thankfulness for His divine love.”

(Open Mind, Open Heart - Thomas Keating p.160)

Gods’ divine life is present within us right now in the measure of our faith.
