Lesson 164

Of all these the love of such an One for me!

Excerpt

If a never-ceasing bounty should offer kingdoms, If a hidden treasure should set before me all that is, I would bend down my soul, I would lay my face in the dust, I would say, "Of all these the love of such an One for me!"

✨ To meditate on today

According to Rumi, even if he were offered all the kingdoms and treasures of the world, he would bow down and say that nothing is worth the love God has for him. Today, when you strongly desire something (a success, a purchase, recognition), pause for a moment and remember God’s love for you, which is worth more than all of that.
