Just love

Have we not all asked the question, “What is the difference between human affection and divine Love?”  Mary Eaton records Mrs Eddy’s reply given at the “Class of Seventy” in 1898: “In human affection, you seek something to love, but in divine Love, you seek nothing, but everything”; and then she said in a commanding tone, “Just love!”” p. 336 We Knew Mary Baker Eddy Amplified Edition Vol II.

Miss Eaton also records: “Mrs Eddy gave us her concept of God.  She said, “It is like the father protecting and caring for his child; it is like the mother taking the little one in her arms and feeding it with the milk of the Word; it is like the tender shepherd caring for his flock, going out into the marshes after the lost lamb, calling, calling – listening for its little plaintive voice, taking it in His arms, carrying it home, and doing it over and over again”” Ibid p. 337.

“Have more faith in God – talk with Him” Ibid p. 343.
