LAW OF DIVINE LOVE

March 23rd, 1915.

I am here, your own true Helen.

    You didn't think I could change the announcement of my coming, but you must know that I can do anything to please you, my dear Ned.

(question) 

    Yes you have.  I have been so very happy.  Well, sweetheart, I must tell you that I am very happy and am progressing very rapidly.  I don't expect to remain in this sphere very much longer, for my love and Faith are so great that I feel that I must get closer to God's Fountainhead in the Celestial Spheres.  Doesn't it seem like some fairy dream?  But it is all true, and I am so happy.

    I will soon be with you in a long letter, telling you of this Great Love, and how much I love God and you.

    No you won't, for you are progressing too.  You may not realize it, but it is true.  If you should come over now, you would be surprised to find yourself in a high sphere.  Well, I know how you feel, but you must believe that I can see your spiritual condition better than you can.

    Well that may be so, but when you get this Great Love in your heart in sufficient abundance, and you have much of it now, your sins will be blotted out.  This is the Law of Regeneration.  Otherwise, the human who continues without this Divine Love, and the human who receives it, would be in the same condition.  The New Birth would mean nothing.  So do not think that this Great Love is not sufficient to cleanse the soul of the results of the sins of earth life.  Best of all, it cleanses while you are a mortal.

    I know that the Spiritualists quote and proclaim the Law of Recompense, or Compensation, but there is a Higher Law that nullifies that Law.  When Love, this Divine Love, comes into the soul of a mortal, the Law of Compensation is removed from the scope of its working.  For Divine Love is the Fulfilling of the Law.  So do not let that stumbling block make you believe that this Great Love is not sufficient to remove all sin and error, and to purify your soul so that you may become fitted to live in the Kingdom of the Father and become One with Him.

    No, the Divine Love is for the vilest sinner.  No human can, by a mere act of restoration, fit themself for the inflowing of this Divine Love.  It is waiting for the sinner, as well as for the saint.  Even though your sins be as scarlet, they will be made white as wool.  I mean that you will not have to wait to make recompense to mortals before this Great Love can do the cleansing work.  Else what is the use of having this Great Love provided for human?  If they shall first make themself pure, what is the necessity for the work of the Holy Spirit?

    Only pray for this Divine Love and have Faith.  You will get it.  God is the judge of what a human shall do to render justice and restitution.  When He says that this Divine Love, with all its cleansing power, is for the sinner who seeks for it by True Faith, who has the right to say that the sinner must first do what human may think is justice between themselves and their fellow human?

    I know whereof I speak.  For the experience of many spirits who have been Redeemed by this Divine Love show that they were sinners, and had not "paid the last farthing," when they received this Divine Love.  God is the judge.  Not mortals, nor spirits.

    So, my dear Ned, do not let the idea that you must render to every human, that which you think they may be entitled to, keep you from believing in the Mercy and Divine Love of the Father.

    Oh, how I wish I could be with you a little while in my bodily form, and tell you face to face what this Great Love means to you, to me, and to all of us.  So sweetheart, believe me when I say that even though you may be a great sinner, yet the Father's Divine Love is sufficient to remove all those sins just as soon as you can receive it. Such is the Law of this Great Love.

    Faith and prayer can open the very heart of the Celestial Spheres.  Divine Love will flow down into your soul, as the avalanche of snow, that feels the warmth of the sun's bright rays, rushes from its mountain heights when winter leaves with its chilling gloom and blasting breath for other climes.

    Divine Love is not only warmth, but it is the very burnings of the soul's great storehouse of God's Divine Essence.  I am not only the possessor of this Divine Love to a large degree.  I realize that as I advance to higher spheres there is a greater abundance, awaiting to fill my soul with its great undying fires of never ending burnings.  By burnings (I mean) so great and free from everything that makes for unhappiness and discontent.  I must stop now.  So my own dear and precious Ned, love me as I love you and we both will be so very happy that Heaven will be with us and in us even while we are writing in the earth surroundings.

Your own, Helen

Let me write a few lines.

    I am much interested in you and your work, and want to do all that I can to help.

    I have heard your grandmother's message.  It is a beautifully encouraging one.  Filled with deep Truths.  Which, if you will grasp and apply, will benefit you very much.  I had my troubles when I lived on earth, but never had the sustaining power of the Divine Love that she speaks of.  Hence, lived my life as best I could, with only the help of natural powers and a rather cheerful disposition.  Had I possessed this Divine Love, I now know that I should have been saved many hours of worriment, and enjoyed many hours of happiness that were not mine.  It seems to be the fate, or destiny, of mortals to experience trouble.  As some one has said, human was born for trouble.  But this is not just true.  For human to a large extent makes their own troubles.  As humans come into a Knowledge of the Great Law of Compensation, they will realize the Truth of what I say.  But thank God, even though human makes their own troubles and the Law of Compensation works impartially, yet the Loving Father can relieve them from their troubles and make them happy.  In doing so, I want to say, the demands of this Law are not unsatisfied.  This Law, itself, is subject to another Law.  That is; that unless causes exist, it cannot demand anything from the mortal.  The Father in helping His Children does not say to the Law, you shall not demand a penalty from this Child whom I desire to help, but says to the Child, receive my Divine Love and Help, and the causes for the demand of this Law will cease to exist.

    If mortals would only understand this Truth they would not continue to believe that the Father cannot help His Children.  They would also see that in order to confer such help, it is not necessary to set aside, or suspend, this Great Law in its operations.  The Father never grants a special dispensation to relieve mortals from paying the penalties of this Law, but He does give to them His Great Love.  When they possess that, the causes that entail the penalties cease to have an existence.

    The Law of the Divine Love is the Greatest Law. Supplants every other Law, in the workings upon the souls and minds of mortals.

Well, my friend, I must not write more.  So with my love, will say good-night.

Your brother in Christ, John Bunyan
