“Without love good works are worthless, but with love they become wholly rewarding no matter how small and insignificant they may seem. Indeed. God places more importance on the reason you work than on how much work you actually do. A person does much who loves much; he does much who does it well; he does well who serves the common good rather than himself.
The person who has pure and perfect love seeks self praise in nothing, but wishes only that God may be glorified in everything. Such a person envies no one, for he sees God in everyone.
He believes that God is the source of everything; like a spring, all good flows from him.
-Thomas À Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
Dr. Lonnie Edwards tells us that the Rosicrucian Order, through its teachings, intentionally plants seeds of love, harmony, compassion, and kindliness into the consciousness. The harvest of this sowing may come in this or in future incarnations, fostering the progress of human evolution, particularly our spiritual evolvement.
I would like to encourage you, as we close out the year, to take a few moments and reflect upon your contributions to the fostering of love, harmony, compassion, and kindliness in your personal lives and in the greater world.
Consider the moments when you did this, and also the moments when you could have acted and didn’t, as well as the moments when you acted in opposition to these ideals. Resolve within your heart to ensure your actions are always impeccable and true to your mission, to live in Light, Life, and Love.
So Mote it Be
