Where do I find perfect love? Each of us has been given an inner room within which is the depth of our being where there is calm stillness in the presence of perfect love.

Lord, help me to always aspire to act in Your perfect love. I cannot see the world through the divine providence of Your eyes of love. You see and comprehend all things. You know every thought, need, and desire of every heart, of my heart. Help me be whole and holy in Adoration of You.

If I am honest with myself, I really don’t want “to do” anything hard or experience any trouble. I want to live in the illusion of my mind’s perfect world with no trouble and strife. But of course, that is not reality. To truly live life, I must accept and live in reality.

Are you aware of the things you do that keep you disconnected from God? As I contemplate the alienating effects of sin in my life, I realize how my simple behavior keeps me from God’s embrace, disconnected from resting in His perfect love.

The great spiritual principal is detachment. The heart of the spiritual life is to love God and to love everything else for the sake of God. As I seek to find God’s goodness day by day, there are four things I stive to love for their intrinsic value:  God, my neighbor, myself, and my body.

I have a teacher that shows me how to love. I also have a guide who is always with me that helps lead me to a divine love. Not as our culture defines love, but a love that is marked by kindness, compassion and mercy that wills the good of the other.

Are you drawn toward the good? If not, don’t lose hope. I believe we are all are fundamentally drawn to God’s goodness, but it can be a struggle. I don’t think many of us make the decision to be evil. However, the dark forces are constantly pulling us and attracting us. It takes supernatural strength to resist the lull of becoming numb and asleep to the comforts the world provides.
