# Seek the Light of God's Love **Spirit:** [[Spirits/Augustine|Augustine]] · **Medium:** Al Fike · **Date:** 2016-08-26 *God does not command you to love Him but God beseeches you to know His Love.* --- Your teacher Augustine. May each one of you come to truly recognize the touch of God within your souls, that you come to recognize how God may touch your souls over and over again bringing about transformation, bringing about greater awareness, opening your eyes, awakening your beings, all from the touch of God. His Love brings within you great change, an evolution, a transformation that will radiate out from the center of your being into your consciousness, into your mind, into your body and into your spirit. It causes harmony, peace, joy, and a great capacity to love, to love all in creation, to love all your brothers and sisters, to be in that flow of Love, that Divine Grace that you all seek, that your souls are compelled to seek. This change within, this shift also brings a strengthening of your being, a resilience so that when all that around you changes and your comfort and your sense of security is gone you're able to have this strength within you which allows you to feel comfort, to know security in God. This is the only constant in a life that can be relied upon - your relationship with your Heavenly Father, your relationship with the Truth that is Love. When you build within yourself through your prayers, through your longings, through the openings of your soul, through the embracing of God, who embraces you, you have true security, you have true strength, you have a clarity of vision and an understanding of truth, which makes you a Light in the world. And those you admired who had been Lights in the world have all found this security, this strength, this Light and this is available to all, no matter their position in society, no matter their condition in the world, it is available to all and it is what you must seek. God does not command you to love Him but God beseeches you to know His Love. It is your choice to come to this understanding that you are truly loved, that God truly wishes for you to be immersed in this condition of Love and in this way you're healed, you are re-made, you are given true strength. It is a simple opening of yourselves to this blessing of Love, to accept and acknowledge God's Love for you, to be in this grace always no matter the conditions you encounter, the challenges, this Love will always be a constant, this Love can always be relied upon, and this Love will always be gifted to you, my beloveds. If you so desire this, it shall be given. If you so seek in your prayers and your longings, in your connection with God, there will be this response. Powerfully, beautifully, simply. All else is secondary to this relationship. Love is the highest gift. Love is the greatest gift. Love is the most healing gift that can be given. And to nurture this flame of Love, you set yourself upon a course that shall bring to you all the wisdom, all the knowledge of the universe, all that you seek both within your minds and your souls will be given in time as you walk this path of Love and receive ever greater inflowings of this great gift. Beloved souls, some of you have sought this gift for many years, some of you have never heard of this beautiful blessing but all of you are equally loved and all of you have an equal opportunity to receive this gift and with this I beseech you: *“To seek Love always, to place this as your great desire in life, and with this all else will follow.”* God bless you, beloved souls, and thank you for hearing my words and I love you, the angels love you, God loves you. God bless you. I am Augustine. I was once the Bishop of Hippo. I am now an inhabitant of the Celestial Kingdom. I am an angel of God. God bless you. --- > [!abstract] Description > Augustine describes God's touch upon the soul as an evolution working outward from the centre of the being into the consciousness, mind, body, and spirit, and names its practical fruit as resilience: when comfort and the sense of security are gone, the soul built up in Love still holds strength and knows security in God. He calls this relationship the only constant a life can rely upon, insists it is available to all whatever their position or condition, and reminds his listeners that God does not command their love but beseeches them to know His Love, leaving the choice with them. ## Related messages - [[2015-05-18 Recognizing Your Two Selves, the Soul and the Material Mind|Recognizing Your Two Selves, the Soul and the Material Mind]] > [!question]- Questions this message answers > - Where do I find security when everything in my life is changing? > - How do I stay strong after losing everything I relied on? > - Does God ever force us to love Him? > - Why does God ask instead of command? > - Is God's Love available to me if I have never heard of it? > - What changes inside me when God touches my soul? > - How do I build a relationship with God I can actually rely on? > - Can someone in my circumstances really receive God's Love? > - Why do I feel so unsteady when my comforts are taken away? > - What does the Bible mean when it says God is our refuge and strength?
