"You will learn to love your brethren more when you first learn to love their Father in heaven more, and after you have become truly more interested in their welfare in time and in eternity." Jesus, 181:2.5 (1955.6)
We often try to love others through effort alone—willpower, patience, or sheer discipline. But that love can be shallow, inconsistent, or strained. The deeper secret? Love doesn’t start with people. It starts with God.
When you deepen your connection with the Source, you begin to see others not just as personalities, but as souls—fellow children of the same divine Parent. This shift reshapes how you care. It moves you from tolerance to compassion, from obligation to eternal perspective. You stop asking, “How do I deal with them?” and start wondering, “How can I serve their highest good?”
Genuine love for others flows best when it is fed by reverence for their origin and destiny. You don’t love more by trying harder—you love more by seeing clearer.
