		"God, being Love, is also happiness"

  Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it. Nor can it
be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. And
therefore joy is everywhere as well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so,
believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing pain instead 
of joy. This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining love as
limited, and introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite.
  Fear is associated then with love, and its results become the heritage of     minds that think what they have made is real. These images, with no real truth
bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love, He must be joy. This
basic error we bring to truth, and teach ourselves:

		"God, being Love, is also happiness.
		 To fear Him is to be afraid of joy"
