TRUE LOVE IS ONLY FOUND IN AND THROUGH GOD

Treatise attributed to Saint Anthony

Everyone longs to give himself completely to someone –

To have a deep soul relationship with another.

To be loved thoroughly and exclusively.

But God, to the Christian, says,

“No, not until you are satisfied with living for Me

And have an intensely personal and unique relationship

With me alone.

I love you, My child,

And until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction,

You will not be capable of the perfect human relationship

That I have planned for you.

I want you to stop planning and stop wanting,

And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan ever existing –

One that you cannot even imagine.

I want you to have the best.

Please allow me to bring it to you –

Just keep watching Me,

Expecting the greatest things –

Keep experiencing that satisfaction in Me,

Knowing that I Am –

Keep learning from and listening to the things that I tell you.

You must wait.

Don’t be anxious.

Don’t worry…

Don’t look around at the things others have gained for themselves

Or that I have given them.

Don’t look at the things you want.

Just keep looking to Me

Or you will miss what I want to show you.

And then,

When you are ready,

I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful

Than any you would ever dream of.

You see, until you are ready,

(And even now I desire to have you both ready at the same time)

Until you are both satisfied with Me

You won’t be able to experience

The love that exemplifies your relationship with Me –

And thus is perfect love.

And, dear one,

I want you to have this most wonderful love

I want you to have in the flesh

A picture of your relationship with Me

And to enjoy the everlasting union of beauty and love.

I am God.

Believe and be satisfied.”
