Love by Christian Science Author ~ Clarence Steves ~ 1963
When Mary Baker Eddy discovered God to be Love, and thus divine Principle, she wrote, “LOVE. What a word! I am in awe before it.” (Miscellaneous Writings) Why does she say “in awe before it”? Is this a Promised Land, a universe of Love, which we look for, and hope with longing prayer some day to be able to experience? Mrs. Eddy also says, “I have a world of wisdom and Love to contemplate. . . . “(Ibid) Where is this universe of Love before which our Leader stood in awe? Was it not her own conscious identification?” “What does the word awe mean? It has the meaning of sublime, wonder, majesty and reverence. She saw that this universe was her own universal body and that man is this wonder of eternal Mind, – that man is the sublimity of Truth, the majesty of Principle, the freshness of Soul, the unalterable fact of perfect being. Then, cannot we too stand “in awe” before this word Love? Man is not something outside, contemplating Love. We can acknowledge here and now that man is the universe of Love. Man lives in and as divine Love. Man moves in and as divine Love. Man has being in and as divine Love. This is the oneness of Father and son, Mind and its infinite, indissoluble manifestation.
