Dear Friends, Here is research on some of the stories in this week's Lesson on "Love."
Before this stone was discovered, David was not thought of as actually existing except in biblical sources. There was no other extra-biblical source of his existence and some scholars felt like he was just a mythical person in Israel's history. This archeological discovery changed everything!

"The healing will grow more easy and be more immediate as you realize that God, Good, is all and Good is Love. You must gain Love, and lose the false sense called love. You must feel the Love that never faileth,--that perfect sense of divine power that makes healing no longer power but grace. Then you will have the Love that casts out fear, and when fear is gone doubt is gone and your work is done. Why? Because it never was undone." (L08565 letter from MBE, We Knew MBE - p. 90)

In thinking about loving one's enemies, here is an article I wrote several years ago that speaks to that subject. It was written after I had gone through the fire of an experience with a person who I didn't get along with. For me, this was one of the most growing times I've ever had. A physical healing and this article were two of the fruits that came from this experience.
