The beauty of love lies in your humility to serve

Love not the beauty of the body, for its beauty is like that of a flower, a beauty that is short lived. Work hard instead, to emit the beauties that lie in the self, for the beauty of the self can change you and touch the lives of several others. Know, that beauty lies in a simple truth, beauty shines in an act of sacrifice, beauty awakens in the one that is patient, and the beauty of love, is love like that of God.

Consider Me to be your doctor, and love your medicine. The doctor may perform procedures that may be unpleasant and painful, but your faith in him allows him to do his work that is needful, without any complaints. The medicine itself is sometimes bitter and sometimes sweet, but you know that the cure for your illness lies in it.

In the same way, you may undergo circumstances in life that inflict pain and suffering, but this is just My procedure to correct your imperfections. My love, which is the cure for your mental illnesses, may sometimes be sweet and calming, and at other times, be strict with discipline. Accept all with love, My love for you.

Let your love for God be most intense, the intensity of this love can moderate all other forms of love and eliminate your passions. If your love is intense for something or someone in this world, then that love turns into a jealous obsession, and the presence of God gets masked in your insanity.

You ask Me several times as to "how do I love all?" My answer to you is practice of love. Practice love, deliberately and intentionally at first. Continual practice in My presence, with no need of praise, will allow your attempts of love to grow into a love that one day will flow automatically, without even any effort. Put love into your routines, and your everyday will become a refreshing change. Shut your ego with the love of God, and let the fountain of love from within flow. Do not let the failure in your practice discourage you. Love can face all failures, and turn each of them into a divine, miraculous success. Your success to Me, is to pick yourselves up after every attempt, and pursue your goal to love. You must walk every step in the confidence of the self. Your determination to find the truth of God in love must compel you to think like God, speak like God, and act like God, too!

God's love has no limitations, thus your love, too, must extend itself to the fullest of its ability. Love will only have limitations, when your expectations to receive love back begins to rise, and you begin to envision the rewards of what you have given in love to others. Let Me tell you, that each of you is capable of giving this divine love. Your excuse of being only "human" makes you lazy, and lets you look for an easy way out to support your imperfect ways of life. Within every human lies the virtues of the divine. However much you may stray today, each one of you, will one day, come back to Me. Even when you are lost, you are still within My reach. All will leave one day, but God stays! You can never leave Me, and I, My child, will never leave you.

The beauty of love lies in your humility to serve. Serve without a question, serve to fill in the need to help the cause. Work hard to uplift the distressed, help to heal the diseased with the cure of compassion, and share your worldly riches with the poor. Let your shoulders support the burdens of the elderly, let your spirit of selfless love encourage the youth to work with you in your project of love, and let the child born today grow in the warmth and security of a loving and caring family. I want you today to be leaders of love, models of compassion and to be the ideals of the future to come.

Your mind is a fickle companion that shifts its loyalties continuously. It may prompt you to act in one way now, but the next moment it may degrade you and make you repent for the act that it prompted. The judgments of the mind are rash and sometimes unforgiving. Your mind is heartless and does not know compassion and love.

Your heart, on the other hand, does not have a mind. It does not think, evaluate and judge. It acts promptly where the truth of love exists. The mind and the heart, both, belong to you. For you to learn the language of the divine, your minds, My dears, must go; your hearts must awaken. Follow the heart, and leave your mind behind. The heart will always speak My voice, and the mind will only doubt. Your heart beats with a strong will to find love, your mind will only fear the losses involved in finding this love. The heart serves with no purpose, it gives to gain pleasure from the act of giving. Your mind serves with the purpose of gain, it will give, only to receive at least the same value of the gift, if not more, and it suffers severe disappointments upon not receiving. Your goal is to train the mind to be devoid of thoughts. Let your thoughts become fewer and purer. The fewer your thoughts, the lesser your worries and fears. Your mind needs a focus. Whatever your mind focuses on, those are your thoughts, your desires, and it is this focus, that gives you the instant need to act and react. The mind is like a machine that needs to be fed with data all the time. It takes strict discipline and strong will power to keep the mind empty and pure.
