The Game of Prosperous Living
Rev. John W. Adams
8. The Prospering Power of Love
I invite you to give special attention to love. It is, by far, the most important ingredient necessary for creating a more prosperous life for yourself.
Emmet Fox said, "Love is by far the most important thing of all. It is the golden gate of paradise." This is true, of course, and
it is your golden gate to more prosperity for you.
St. Paul made it very clear when he said that love is vital to everything you do. Otherwise, there would be nothing of intrinsic value in
what you accomplish.
Another reason why love is the most essential thing is that it knows no boundaries, walls, time, distance, or obstructions of any kind.
Love goes wherever you direct it, and when someone aims love at us, you can refuse to accept it, but you cannot stop it from coming or working
its magic. Although you may deny love it's freeing, healing, harmonizing and prospering power, it never denies you. Love is always present and
transforms your life and affairs as you let it.
The question is: "When love is so wonderful, quick, and powerful to heal, bless and prosper, why would anyone want to deny its perfect
expression?" Doesn't it seem silly to try and do so? Yet, it is amazing how many people do!
If there is one substance that will work miracles in your finances, it is love. Love will heal any "lack-attack" when you genuinely invoke its
wonder-working miracle energy in your financial affairs. As Frank B. Whitney wrote in his inspiring poem, "Love Will Meet The Need." (see below)
When you are fearful about meeting some financial obligation, the best thing to do is to relax, let go, and let love meet the need. Place your
faith completely in love and you will not be disappointed. You might ask, "Do I just do nothing, trusting love to take care of everything?" The
answer is, you relax and trust, but be open to whatever you are divinely guided to do. When you trust love, you are trusting God to guide you,
knowing that God is working through you and many other channels to take care of that obligation. This is much easier than worrying, doubting and
getting upset.
The same is true with the healing of your body. Love will meet that need, too, when you call upon it to do its perfect work in your mind and body.
Love is the only power that the Great Healer used in healing the sick, and in all of His healing miracles, even in the raising of the dead. Love
never fails to heal, bless, work miracles, and prosper.
In human relationships, love is the harmonizing energy. It smoothes out difficulties, defuses anger and fear. Love forgives and dissolves resentment
and bitterness. It makes all things right when it is allowed to function uninhibited. Florence Shinn wrote in "The Game Of Life" about a lady who
wanted to marry "the Cap." He avoided her until she sent him unconditional love, freeing him to be himself. When she truly released him in love, he
soon appeared again in her life, and they were married.
Whatever the need, the real need is love. Give it full and free expression ands it will giver you all the wisdom, faith, and understanding you need
for great success. Let it do its perfect work.
From my personal experience, I know that love is the great transformer. It was love that transformed my life. Love transforms your thinking and
your way of living. It heals the so-called incurable and prospers you in a divine way regardless of where you've been or what you've experienced so
far. Love is your prospering power. Invite love to do its best in your mind and in all your financial affairs. It is the very best thing you can do
and you will soon discover your prosperity increasing in marvelous way!
