So, God withdrew love (which is God's very nature) from humanity, because God got busy doing something else?

Btw, this I do know, God is going to, once again, withdraw the privilege of receiving His Divine Love, but the time is known only to Him. This doesn't mean He doesn't Love all of us, it's just that those who don't jump on the Divine Love bandwagon will have their natural love purified to a very high degree and they will be extremely happy living in the highest Natural Love Heavens. But they will not be able to enter the Celestial Heavens (the Kingdom of God) and will not be assured of immortality.

And a some point, the hells will be emptied as those spirits become purified in their soul either in their natural love (this is known as spiritual development) or by Divine Love (this is called soul development).
And God is going to withdraw love again, at some point in the future, because God will get tired of loving people? Or tired of offering love (Godself) to people? Or...?


It just isn't making any sense, sorry.

To further clarify, God's Divine Love is a "soul love." It's not the natural love we're all born with. So He has the right to do with it as He wishes... to either offer it to us or not.

God will always love all of His children no matter where they are. Those who don't choose to follow the way in Divine Love, will be loved by Him. They just won't become divine, i.e., at-one with God and live in His Celestial Kingdom.

Only God knows, perhaps, at some point in time, He'll offer it again to those who weren't interested in receiving it this time around. Then there might possibly be a second Celestial Kingdom.

If you're interested to learn more about God, here's a link which isn't click bait or contain ads:

I don't think the nature of divine love could be such that it is ever not present. It's not something that is offered or not, it just IS. It's not capricious, undependable, nor could it ever stop "flowing" or not be present. That simply does not compute.

.

In fact, it is present right now. It surrounds each of us. It just isn't inside our souls, though, until we ask for it. When we take this step, God hears our call and sends His Holy Spirit to deliver Divine Love into our soul. When we receive it, we know it. This is the simple process.

For those interested to read further, here is more information about Divine Love:

Truth for all people - The Divine Love of God

I want to add a couple more things here.

Soul longings will also bring about the inflowing of Divine Love into our souls without the need for prayer.

People may receive Divine Love not realizing what it is or where it came from. For instance, some Christians who possess this Divine Love wrongfully believe that it's Jesus.

The point is, I don't believe there ever was, or ever will be, a time when God's love isn't present or would be withheld. The nature of love, as I understand it, does not allow for such.

As for asking for God's love to fill us, I'm not against it, certainly. But, I do think that what's far more important is understanding that we each have the ability to allow God's love to flow through us to others. If there's anything keeping us from experiencing God's love, aisi, it isn't because God has withheld love, but that we've stopped the flow. Sort of like a light switch, maybe? Turn the switch on and shine the "light/love" that is always there onto others. Turn the switch off, the circuit is broken.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on that point.

If you're already receiving it... that's awesome. I definitely believe in sending the Divine Love that's in my soul out into the world. Matter of fact, I'll send you some now. Blessings.

Which point, if you don't mind me asking?
