Trusting God is a step toward the solution of any problem, because trust gives us access to the love of God, and the love of God is a harmonizing force that is mighty enough to heal any adverse situation.

The love of God expressed through us looks past all outer appearances of limitation to the good that is innate in everyone.

The love of God is compassionate, yet positive and strong. It does not resist strife and contention but dissolves them. The love of God transforms resentment and dissatisfaction into appreciation and replaces criticism with commendation.

There is no situation so inharmonious that a realization of the love of God will not be helpful.

When things about us are disturbing, let us turn to God and divine love. Since God is part of all creation, God abides not only in us but also in our environment, our surroundings, and the circumstances of our lives.

When we have knowledge and understanding of God's love within and around us, our entire outlook changes. We see ourselves and our world through spiritual eyes, no longer seeing disorder or inharmony but recognizing divine love and peace in the minds and hearts of all. And we express divine love, changing our world from what seems to be a world of inharmony, doubt, and fear to a world of faith, love, happiness, and fulfillment.

Know that you are a perfect expression of God's love and that as you become more attuned to God's love, your life will be a song of happiness. Your contacts with others will be joyous and harmonious.

The love of God will go before you and smooth your way. Wherever you go, people will be glad to see you because of your loving attitude. Whatever you do, you will do easily and successfully. Whatever you need to decide, you will decide wisely, for the love of God will open to you inner sources of wisdom and guidance. Your mind will be open and receptive to God's love, and you will receive:

“The spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge.”
—Isaiah 11:2 The love of God will keep your heart peaceful so that you can focus your attention on the harmony and happiness you desire.

The love of God, radiating through you, will bless everyone you contact. The love of God, expressing itself through you, will attract its own and draw to you many, many blessings.

“If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

“Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”
    —1 Corinthians 13
