THE DIVINE CONNECTION


"We have a connection with the Divine, and our inmost being is such that we can receive the Divine and not only receive it, but also make it our own by acknowledgment and love, thus by reciprocating.

Since we are implanted in the Divine, we can never die. For we are in what is eternal and infinite, not only because it flows into us, but because we receive it."- Emanuel Swedengorg

WHAT IS TRUE LOVE?

When we have no love of serving God and other people, then, from being heavenly, those loves become hellish."-Emanuel Swedenborg
