Truth and Love

Dear Members and Friends,
When it is hard to discern the truth one can ask, “What is behind the statement that is being made?” “What is the underlying motivation?”
Is truth ever destructive? The Truth that we know that streams from God is drenched in Love, God’s Love for us - sacrificial Love. At Eastertide the resurrection forces are all around us in the outer world. During Michaelmas those forces can be revealed to us in our souls. At Michaelmas, as the natural world slowly turns brown and the etheric forces recede back into the earth, the resurrection forces that were so powerful at Eastertide can now be born within us.
We are becoming human. We are not yet our truly human selves, but we can get a glimpse of our true humanity through these resurrection forces within us. In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians we are instructed by Paul to put on the armor of God, with truth wrapped around the center of our being, a breastplate of right relationship with God at our heart and our feet wrapped in the peace of Christ that we may speak, the truth filled with the love of God, spreading peace in the world. For truth without love is destructive, and love is the power of Christ. Only through Christ we will become our truly human selves.
With warm regards,
Rev. Victoria Capon
