Dear friends: I post on another Board. On that board is a man from the British Isles who asked me a question that made me dig into the depths of my experience in God for a response. I have made the response to him which I will post later for any that are interested. If you are not interested I will post my response regardless LOL.
How would YOU respond?
"On your Pilgrimage - what would you say are your top five lessons you've learned that you would pass on to other believers?"
1. When you possess true agape love (God's love) you cannot willfully harm anyone in any way.
2. None but Jesus possesses true agape love so we must work to overcome and endure under His grace.
3. Agape love is a "state of mind" and NOT tied to any specific so-called prohibited behaviors.
4. Agape love promotes behaviors that are contagious, enhance life, encourage reciprocity, and build community.
5. Survival and our carnal needs frequently oppose and constrain the requirements of agape love. That is why we are warned about the danger to our spiritual life by being overly concerned about saving our physical life.
You don't even have to be a believer to do right and be a good person.
1.The most important rule is the golden rule. Treat others like you would want to be treated.
2. Be grateful for all the things you have and the people that have helped you rather than fret about what you don't have and people who have harmed you.
3. Don't be jealous.
4. Don't be greedy.
5. Never feel sorry for yourself.
6. Enjoy your life.

The power of love is that of forgiveness; donkeys don’t talk.
Love your neighbor as yourself; and do not condemn them.
Be at peace with all men; and don’t crucify the innocent.
A snake crawls on its belly; get off your knees and walk.
Help those in need, feed the hungry; and don’t be selfish.

Dear MysticPhD:
Agape love may be more than a state of mind, but a "state of being". That state most surely begins in #1 enveloping all dimensions of one's being, consummating in being made one with our Creator and His "heart".

How do you know when you're loving agape style? When you poot do rainbows and sparkles appear as confirmation?
When you consider that all life is significant and you no longer condemn others.
Instead, you search your own heart and seek out ways to benefit everyone.
