“The religions of [[revelation]] [[allure]] men to seek for a [[God]] of [[love]] because they crave to become like him. [ . . .] Sooner or later, God is destined to be comprehended as the [[reality]] of [[values]], the substance of [[meanings]], and the life of [[truth]].” ([[5:4|UB, 5:4.1-2]])
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “How could one [[fear]] a God of love Who continuously sets in [[motion]] from His heavenly abode myriads of perfectly premeditated [[chain reactions]] — matches made in heaven?

“By its generous nature, [[love]] exerts an irresistible pull. How else could your prodigal [[soul]] find its way from its temporary earthly habitat back to the [[hearth]] of the [[divine]] heart — its birthplace?

“All share [[Paradise]] as the place of [[origin]], [[function]], and [[destiny]], as regards [[values]], [[meanings]], and factual [[existence]].” ([[0:4|UB, 0:4.11]])

“Love is both the [[motivator]] of excellence and the most worthwhile and rewarding pursuit. Its [[passionate]] prompts motivate the creatures to [[express]] their godlike [[essence]] — uplifting them, never disheartening them.

“At its Antipode, [[hate]] is an extremely disturbing [[emotion]] that [[traumatizes]] the tender heart, causing it to shut down. It terrorizes its [[victims]], and its vicious [[intensity]] short fuses the complex cosmic [[circuitry]] of love — tampering with its natural [[flow]].

“If given free rein, hate, [[anger]], [[fear]], [[resentment]], and their toxic by-products will pollute your heart, cannibalizing the [[good]] in you. Hate is an acidic emotion that erodes your emotional heart — just like an excessive intake of acidic nutrients becomes the breeding ground for the proliferation of deadly [[cancer]]ous cells. The scornful facial expression of a ‘hater’ instantly prompts you to divert your eyes away from its repulsive [[ugliness]].

“Stand firm against the malignant takeover of [[violent]] emotions, refusing to give them your [[voice]] and your [[body]] as surrogates to enact their destructive rampages. Form the emotional hygiene [[habit]] to stand back to assess the adversarial hold they will claim on you if you give them free rein.

“[[Hate]] is a downer. Why then operate under its spell while [[love]] forever remains a [[sustainable]] option? Lovers thrive. Their [[persona]] emits a beautiful [[glow]], a tell-tale sign that they have found ‘the real thing.’ They go about doing good — as [[Jesus]] did — thus spreading the love bug.”
