Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 LOVE NEVER FAILS (Excerpt from Chapter 11 of Ponder's " Dynamic Laws of Prosperity " ) No matter how many prosperity laws you know about, if you are not able to live and work harmoniously with others, all else seems of little value. It has been estimated that your financial success is due only to 15 percent of your technical ability, and 85 percent to your ability to get along with people. The talent for getting along with other people through exercising impersonal good will, which is love in action, cannot be over-emphasized. Perhaps you may have wondered about the causes for employees getting fired—is it due to incompetence, tardiness, dishonesty? Personnel managers seem to agree that more that two-thirds of the people who lose their jobs do so because " they cannot get along with people. " Approximately ten percent are discharged because of inadequate preparation for the skills needed. The rest are discharged because of " personality problems. " Do you wonder why impersonal good will and the ability to get along with others has such power? Do you wonder why it is that unless you are able to get along with others, both in a business way and at home, all your other training, abilities and efforts are generally futile? The Bible asserts that " love never fails. " (I Corinthians 13:8) Jesus pointed out to the lawyer that love fulfills the whole law ( 22:40), meaning the whole law of healthy, happy, harmonious, successful living. Love has unequaled power, because love is the power that unifies the whole world and everything in it. For instance, the law of gravity is love in action. Love is the equalizing, harmonizing, balancing, adjusting force that is ever at work throughout the universe. Working in these ways, love can do for you what you cannot humanly do for yourself. At Harvard University, world-renowned sociologists conducted research studies on the power of love. The university established a research center, staffed with serious scientists, who spent their valuable time studying the subject of love. Their findings were that love, like other good things, can be deliberately produced by human beings! According to their findings, there is no reason why we can't learn to generate love as we do other natural forces. Ponder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
