Love is the antidote. And what is an antidote, but a substance given when one has been affected by poison. There are so many poisons in your world … hate, anger, jealousy, judgment … all of these things which are the direct opposite of the qualities of God. You have [...]
When others do not think as you do, when others complain or make a fuss where you would not have, this does tend to ruffle your feathers, but this kind of reaction in yourself is habitual. Habits can be broken. If you find that you habitually react to others who [...]
