lief hebben

All created things say love. 

But the sun, that with its light and with its heat has the supremacy over everything, is the sower [zaaier] of My Love. 

As it rises in the morning, so it begins its sowing of love. Its light and its heat invest the earth, and as it moves from flower to flower, with its pure touch of light it sows the variety of colors and of fragrances, and it pours the seed of love, of the different Divine Qualities and of its loving fragrances. 

As it moves from plant to plant, from tree to tree, with its kiss of light it pours, in one place the seed of the sweetness of Divine Love, in another the variety of Our loving Flavors, in another the substance of Divine Love. 

In sum, there is not one plant, flower, herb, that does not receive the seed of Our Love that the sun brings to it. It can be said that it spends its day sowing love and irradiating all the earth, mountains and seas with its light. Éverywhere it sows the love of the Eternal Light of its Creator.

But do you know the reason...

for this continuous sowing, never interrupted, that the sun does of Our Love over the face of the earth, and in so many ways? Perhaps for the earth? For the plants? Ah no! All for the creatures. Oh! yes, for love of them, and to have the requital of their love. 

And, oh! how wounded and embittered We remain when We see that creatures make use of flowers, fruits and other things without recognizing that in everything they take, there is the seed of Our Love, that through the sun We have poured over each created thing. 

And after so much love, an ‘I love You’ is denied to Us.
