We Are One in the Thought of Love

by Rev. Barbara Kraetsch, O.M.C.

Rev. Barbara KraetschThere is really only One Thought, and that is God. This One Thought extends Itself endlessly. It is the Thought that says, “I AM” forever and ever. There is nothing other than this. There is only God proclaiming Himself, extending Himself. There is only Love proclaiming Itself, extending Itself. Love says, “I AM.” There is nothing else. It is inconceivable to Love that anything else could be.

We are part of this extending Love. It is really all we need to know. If we merely sit with this idea — rest in this idea — all else will be made known to us. It sounds so simple and it really is.

When I sit and get in touch with the Thought of Love, feel my connection to It, and just rest in It, I feel certain of existence. I feel certain that I am. Is there anything else I need to know in any given moment? If so, I know it will be made known, for I am what there is to know.

This sense of certainty rises up in me, filling me. It feels complete. There is only Love and that’s all I need to know. Everything extends from that, I am certain.

I don’t know exactly how Love works. I don’t quite grasp that. But, it is not a concern, for Love minds Itself. The Thought of Love minds all there is. All I need do is be aware that I am connected to It, that I can’t be anything else but connected to It. This is all. I can do this, for I can be my Self. I can be the Thought of Love extending Itself everywhere through my Self.

How simple an idea, yet how far reaching, nowhere and everywhere at once. For there is nowhere Love is not. And Love is everywhere. Love encompasses me and sets my boundary of eternity, the placeless place where I can only be.

Today, I am Love. And today, I recognize that there is only Love. Everyone and everything that seems to be other than Love cannot be. For there is only Love and I am surrounded by It. There is no other way than to fulfill Love’s Presence. Let us together be Love’s Presence today, for you are only Love as well as me. And in our joining in the Thought of Love are we made One with It.
