"Divine Love is waiting for every man to possess who sincerely and with true soul aspirations seeks it. It is not a part of, but surrounding and enveloping every man, but at the same time forming no part of him unless his longings and prayers have opened up his soul so that it may flow in and fill him with its presence." - Jesus
"Man is never compelled to receive Divine Love, as he is never compelled to do other things against his will ...
"Let men turn their thoughts and aspirations to God, and in truth and sincerely pray to the Father for an inflowing into their souls of His divine love, and have faith, and they always find that the Father will bestow His love upon them, in accordance with the extent of their aspirations and longings – which are mediums of opening up their souls to the workings of the holy spirit, which, as I have before written, is the messenger of God for the conveying of His Divine Love from His fountainhead of love to the souls of the prayerful and aspiring men.
"In no other way can the Divine Love be possessed by man; and always it is an individual matter between the particular man and the Father. No other man or body of men or church or spirits or angels can do the work of the individual. As to him, his soul is the only thing involved, and only his aspirations, and his prayers, and his will can open up his soul to the inflowing of this love which makes him a part of its own divinity." - Jesus
"You need not wait for occasions or opportunities to formally pray, but all during the day and evening, let your longings for the love ascend to the Father ... The longing may be rapid as unformed thought, and as effective for the Father to catch, as I may say. The longing is quicker than thought ...." - Jesus
"It is no easy matter to have these longings possess the soul, and men should not remain satisfied with these mere mental desires for they will not be benefited by such desires, except as I may say, in the way of having their natural love purified. The longings of the soul comes only from a realization that the Divine Love is waiting to be bestowed, and that the soul must become active and earnest in its endeavor to have this Love come into it, and then the transformation takes place." - Ann Rollins
"Now let me, as a spirit and as a man who worked on earth and prayed on earth, say with an authority that arises from actual experience, and knowledge that comes of observation, that of all the important things on earth for men who are seeking salvation and happiness and development of soul, prayer is the most important, for prayer brings from the Father not only the Divine Love and blessings, but the condition of mind and intent that will cause men to do great works ... Works are desirable, and in some cases necessary, but prayer is absolutely indispensable." - Apostle John
"God sends us His Love daily, in every second of our existence. He never requests our permission to do so. He simply sends His Love. But He never compels us to accept it. Even those who already consciously possess His Love frequently reject new portions because they close the doors of their souls temporarily. To pray for the Love of God and to ask him to send His precious Gift is nothing other than to open up the soul to the reception of the Father’s Love. It is an act of faith; it is the child’s trust and certainty when he goes humbly to his father, knowing for sure that his father will accommodate him. The father is always willing to give, but what is manifested now is the child’s will to accept the father’s offer." - John Mark
