God's Love

The kind of self-love that everyone has is a sick and shortsighted love, while God’s love for you is a clean, strong, healthy love, and therefore a more farsighted and benevolent love, intent on giving you the best. What God sends your way is, of course, often somewhat unpleasant—not because He wants it so but because it is in accordance with the law of cause and effect you yourselves have set in motion by your past actions or attitudes. Your difficulties will substantially diminish when you know how to accept them and subject yourselves in this respect also to God’s laws. To fight and overcome what weighs you down will make you stronger, freer and happier; with every forward step you will understand better the meaning of it all. Only when the self-created obstacles are overcome can you reap, already here on earth, the happiness that God wants you to have. For only the victory over the self-created difficulties, even if you don’t yet understand their origin, makes you free enough to receive this happiness, makes you able to bear it and keep it.
