What if?

Hello, friends.

It has been quite some time since I last posted here on LoveHeals.us. Life gets busy, seasons change, and sometimes we grow quiet. But the core purpose of this space has never gone away.

Recently, I felt a strong pull to reactivate this site. That pull started on a sidewalk in Encinitas.

I was putting up a new message on the reader board outside our church, the Christian Science Society of Encinitas. I wanted something that would stop people in their tracks—not with complexity or dogma, but with radical simplicity.

The message I chose was a question:
“What if God is simply Love?”

It looks so unassuming on the board, but that tiny phrase holds immense power…enough power for people to pull out their i-phones and take a photo or scan the QR code to go to our website. In a world that often feels chaotic, divided, and overly complicated, we tend to overcomplicate the Divine as well. We add layers of judgment, rules, and human expectations onto the concept of God.

But what if we stripped all of that away? What if the ultimate reality, the Christ, Truth, the source of all healing and being, is pure, unadulterated Love? Not just “a loving God,” but Love itself!

Exploring the Definition of Love

This question sparked a deeper dive. If God is simply Love, then understanding what Love actually is becomes the most important thing we can do.

Over on our Society’s website, mindheals.us, there are some wonderful resources exploring this exact topic. I highly recommend checking out the Christian Science Society of Encinitas page. There is a particularly interesting article featured there titled,
“Love, what a word.” It invites us to reconsider the depth and breadth of a word we use every single day.

An Unexpected Perspective

In the spirit of exploring this age-old question in new ways, we decided to try something very modern.

We posed that same sidewalk question—“What if God is simply Love?”—to ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence.

It might seem strange to ask a machine about spiritual matters, but the response was surprisingly profound and very interesting. It offered a perspective on how that single shift in definition could fundamentally change how humans relate to themselves, to others, and to the universe.

You can read that AI response, alongside the other articles, over at the mindheals.us website.

Moving Forward

I am excited to be back here writing for you. I hope this simple question on a sidewalk sign resonates with you today. 

If God is simply Love, how does that change your day right now?

With love and renewed connection,

Marsha Pecaut, CS.
