For Love

Voice : You went out of your way to help that person. That is good. 

Me : He was very happy with my help. 

Voice : And you ? 

Me : Oh I was glad I could be of use to somebody.  

Voice : What about that neighbour of yours who you call names like 'a@##@**e' 'mentally challenged' and what's that word - 'dumb#@* ? 

Me :  Ok, sorry about the name-calling. I just keep a safe distance from those species. 

Voice : Your name-calling doesn't bother me. In spite of being the same One, I have been called by innumerable names since the beginning of time. 

'Voiceless Voice' is one. But often it's much worse.  

Me : Ha Ha 

Voice : You think those 'dumb#*@ people' could do with some love from you ?

Me : Forget it. I only get more abuses, hate and indignation in return.    

Voice : Could it be that they are in need of more love than anyone else ? 

Dive deeper in your heart and you will discover something that everyone successfully dodges instead of choosing the more difficult response.

Me : What ?

Voice : You have been there for others who thank you for your help, who appreciate and love you for simply being there for them. Their love is your reward. But, what about those who condemn you ? What about those who are unfair to you and those who seek to vilify you in their bitterness ? What if your reward was hate in return ?

Me : Why would I care about them ?  

Voice : By wishing them well in your heart, you would be doing the greatest act of service in God’s love. Just by having deep loving thoughts about them, you are creating an impact beyond your understanding.

And how pleased I would be if you quietly and silently did things for someone without getting anything in return, especially for those who dislike you. 

Remember, this is a God given opportunity for every lover of Mine. But, only a few handful seize this opportunity.  

Me : Hmm

Voice : Maybe you will receive no acknowledgement or more abuses and nothing else in return. But, in this lies the truest and highest service. 

When you choose love, you choose Me. 

How many can live with this highest ideal ? How many truly want Me ?  

Me : So do everything for love ?

Voice : You do things - not for love, but out of love. Remember the difference.

This will define God's love in the world of separation.
