One of my favorite metaphysical statements of all time:
“…Divine Love cannot be deprived of its manifestation or object.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 304:9–14)
(Just think about that for a minute…or, you know, a lifetime…God cannot be deprived of His/Her manifestation!!)
This is the “perfect love” that St. John spoke of (I John, chapter 4; highly recommend). Not “love,” the abstraction, but divine Love here and now meeting every human need, unconditionally. St. Paul could write of this kind of love and with boldness say, “Love never fails.”
His authority—and ours, as we accept the fact and live like it’s true that Love never fails—came from the Old Testament promise: “Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; NOT ONE FAILETH.”(Isa. 40:26)
You cannot fail because divine Love does not fail.
