Emanuel SwedenborgAnd as the divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
Emanuel SwedenborgThe Divine of the Lord in heaven is love, for the reason that love is receptive of all things of heaven, such as peace, intelligence, wisdom and happiness
Emanuel SwedenborgLove consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
