Love is a powerful force, a great good in every way. It alone can make our burdens light, and it bears in what is pleasing and displeasing. It carries a burden but does not feel it. It makes all that is bitter taste sweet. Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing higher, nothing stronger, nothing larger, nothing more joyful, nothing fuller, nothing better in heaven or on earth.
Love is born of God and can find its rest only in God and all He has created. Such lovers fly high, run swiftly, and rejoice. Their souls are free and they give all for all. For they rest in One supreme Goodness from Whom all other good flows and proceeds. These lovers look not only at the gifts, but at the Giver, Who is above all gifts.
Give me a higher love.
Thank you, Lord, for Your powerful force of love.
Smitten With Goodness
