What is the power of divine love?

Spirits have the most glorious flowers here, some of them like the old familiar cherished blooms of the earth plane, others known only to the spirit world, but all alike are superb, the perpetual joy of spirits who are surrounded with them. 

They are Divine creations, each single flower breathing the pure air of Spirit and upheld by their Creator and by all in the love that they shower upon them. 

Had they no wish for them, an impossible supposition! they would be swept away. And what should we have in their stead? 

Where otherwise would the great wealth of colour come from which the flowers provide?

And it is not only the smaller growing flowers that they have here.

There is no single flowering tree or shrub that the mind can recall that they do not possess, flourishing in superabundance and perfection, as well as those trees and shrubs that are to be seen nowhere else, but in the spirit world. They are always in bloom, they never fade or die, their perfumes are diffused into the air where they act like a spiritual tonic upon them all. They are at one with them, as they are with them.

When spirits are first introduced to the flowers and trees and all the luxuriance of spirit Nature, they instantly perceive something that earthly Nature never seemed to possess, and that is an inherent intelligence within all growing things.

Spirit flowers and all other forms of Nature are created by the great Father of the Universe through his agents in the realms of spirit. They are part of the immense stream of life that flows directly from Him and that flows through every species of botanic growth. That stream never ceases, never falters, and it is continuously fed by the admiration and love, which they in this world of spirit gratefully shed upon such choice gifts of the Father.

Is it then to be wondered at when we take the tiniest blossom within our hands that we should feel such an influx of magnetic power, such a revivifying force, such an upliftment of one's very being, when we know in truth that those forces for our betterment are coming directly from the Source of All Good.

A large majority of the flowers are not meant to be picked. To pick them is not to destroy them—it is to cut off that which is in direct contact with the Father. 

But there are blooms, and plenty of them, that are expressly there to be picked, and many do so, taking them into their houses, just as they used to do on earth, and for the same reason. 

These severed flowers will survive their removal for just so long as spirits wish to retain them. When their interest in them begins to wane, they will quickly disintegrate. 

There will be no unsightly withered remnants, for there can be no death in a land of eternal life. 

They simply perceive that their flowers have gone and they can then replace them if they so wish.
