Bringing Heaven to Earth

I prayed the Lord’s Prayer as I often do and I dropped into meditation focusing on the words “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” We all have the power to bring heaven to earth by allowing God’s will to flow through us and then acting on His will.  I was wondering how to do that when I heard God say, “ Your job is to be love and to send love to all you meet.”

To “be love” is to be a fully actualized or fully realized human. This is what Jesus was. He was a fully realized human. So when God tells me to be love He is telling me to be no less than Jesus was…a fully actualized being capable of reaching her full potential. I know I am capable of being love because I can feel that state while in meditation. The hard part is to carry it through one complete day. Jesus came here to show us how to be love in this world. He taught us by His example. He showed us how one who is love acts under even the worst of life’s circumstances. He loved unconditionally and he forgave even those who crucified him. There is no drug as powerful as forgiveness.  Forgive yourself and forgive those who trespass against you. If Jesus told us we could do it too, then we must believe that we can. He came here to teach us this example. He showed us how to “be love” in this world.

I wanted to do my part to bring heaven to earth and I was waiting for God to assign me a to-do. Instead I got a to-be. He is saying that to bring heaven to earth we must be love. After that, we can send love to others, but that will happen naturally once I become love. Can you imagine all 7 billion of us being nothing but love? If each of us were to be love, we would have heaven on earth.

What would you do if you were nothing but love?
