Love never sees anything wrong in that which it loves. If it did, it would not be pure love. Pure love is without discriminating power. It simply pours itself out upon the object of its affection and takes no account of the result. By so doing, love sometimes casts its pearls before swine, but its power is so great that it transforms all that it touches.
Do not be afraid to pour out your love upon all the so-called evil in the world. Deny the appearance of evil, and affirm the omnipotence and the omnipresence of love and goodness. Take no account of the evil that appears in your life and your affairs. Refuse to see it as evil.
Declare that what seems evil has somewhere a good side, which shall, through your persistent affirmation of its presence, be made visible. By using this creative power of your own thought you will change that which seemed evil into good.
… Always remember that love is the great magnet of God. … To focus your love about self and selfish aims will cause it to draw around you the limited things of personality and the hollow shams of sense life. …To focus your love upon anything less than All-Good will eventually cause you to fall short of your highest aspiration.
… One with strong love and the right focal idea may control turbulent multitudes by his silent thought alone.
You may trust love to get you out of your difficulties. …But do not talk love and in your heart feel resentment. This will bring discord to your members and rottenness to your bones. Love is candor and frankness. Deception is no part of love; he who tries to use it in that sort of company will prove himself a liar, and love will desert him in the end.
…When love, the universal magnet, is brought into action in the consciousness of our race, it will change all our methods of supplying human wants. It will harmonize all the forces of nature and will dissolve the discords that now infest earth and air. … The earth shall yet be made paradise by the power of love. That condition will begin to set in for each one just as soon as he develops the love nature in himself.
