“Love for others – and from others – means so much in personal experience because we have not only found that it enriches life, but it has the power to bridge the chasm of time and distance. We love, or we perish!” –Fruit of the Vine

Query: How do you experience today the continuing agape love of those who have lived before you? In what ways do you cultivate – and allow God to produce – qualities in yourself that will live on in the memories and lives of those you love?

Seek knowledge and increase.

Seek Spirit and let go.

By letting go of self,

self-fulfillment is possible.

Once fulfilled,

you can influence

without wanting to control.

–Jim Teeters, from “48” in Because of This
