Divine love

Leslie Fuhrmann considers the nature of divine love

by Leslie Fuhrmann 6th June 2014

Oxford English Dictionary definitions suggest that divine love is strong feelings of affection having to do with God. It is usually felt to be a gift of universal love from God to mankind. Are all Friends of the Truth at ease with this broad statement?  Is love a universal gift? The energies proceeding from God are universal, but is divine love universal or, indeed, real? What of the calamities that affect good people and bad alike: war, disease, pests, famine, storms, floods, droughts, forest fires, earthquakes and poverty? A universal love from God? Something doesn’t fit. Perhaps we should consider alternative views of divine love.
