Teacher Ophelius: "Today's message is about the infinity
of love. If you picture in your mind the symbol used to represent infinity
-- a figure eight on its side -- you'll see that when you write this
symbol, it contains two semi-circles enjoined, having no end, but which
also contains an intersection where the two semi-circles meet. This
is the cycle of eternity where the infinite and the finite meet, where
God reaches down to man and where man reaches up to God. This is also
how the River of Life flows from paradise to the worlds of time and
space, and back again, in an endless procession, and in an endless exchange
of love -- the perfect love of the Creator for His children and the
perfecting love of His children for the Creator.
"It is difficult for your imperfect, finite mind to understand
this infinity of love. You may understand how to love another person,
a child, a parent, a spouse, a friend, but how do we understand how
to love our Creator Father when He seems so far away from us, so intangible,
untouchable? How do we really know we love Him, and how do we know we
are loved by Him? The answers to these questions, my friends, are relativities
to our understanding of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. This infinity of
love is something that becomes more real to you as you ascend by faith
and as you bridge the gap with your Adjuster through the living experience
of doing the Will of God -- by allowing the exchange of love to flow
in both directions.
"With love, there is trust, and this trust only comes with increased
communication, with loyalty, and with devotion. When we reach out in
faith to our heavenly Father with childlike affection, we trust that
we are secure in our standing, and that we shall achieve the prize of
God-like perfection through our father-like actions. When we show love,
kindness, mercy, and tolerance of imperfection to our brothers and sisters,
here on Urantia, and on into each succeeding life station in our journey
toward paradise, we will finally understand the infinity of love, where
the intersection of imperfect love becomes perfected love, and where
we receive the embrace of the Universal Father as Finalitors of destiny.
"From this intersection of perfected understanding of love, we
go out from Paradise on that infinitude of eternal life and approach
the imperfect with an enhanced ability to know and to do the perfect
will of God in the universes, because we finally understand the law
of one, and we become one with the force of love that flows through
the River of Life that bathes the imperfect, working together with God,
to bring all the children of time to the intersection of the infinity
of love. The value of knowing perfect love is not in the achievement
of intersection, but in the journey -- the astonishment, the struggles,
the triumphs, the joy of adventure, and the discovery of what it means
to know and to do the Will of the Creator -- to be participants and
partakers in the creation of the cosmos and the realities of sublime
grandeur.
