Harnessing the energies of love
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the Roman Catholic theologian, once wrote:
“Sometimes after the mastery of the winds and the waves and the tides; after the mastery of the sun and the sea and the laws of gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And when we harness the energies of love, for the second time in human history, we shall discover fire.”
What if we harnessed atomic fusion? Wow! But what if we harnessed the energies of love? The world would then be transformed.
I trust that every person who reads this is living to bring about God's realm in the world. The trouble comes when we forget that work is our focus. We plod along trying to do the right thing and share the love of God but we sometimes forget we are a part of a major movement. We have been charged with living everyday in ways that bring God's realm into being. The work you do, the thoughts you think, the love you share, all contribute to God's work. Thank you!
And may your week be blessed.
