DLW 297 - useful endeavor is love produced through wisdom

DLW 297
. . . love has as its end
and intends
some useful endeavor,
and that it produces the useful endeavor through wisdom;
for love cannot produce any useful endeavor of itself,
but only by means of wisdom.
Indeed, what is love unless there is something that is loved?
This something is useful endeavor.
And because useful endeavor is that which is loved,
and it is produced through wisdom,
it follows that useful endeavor is the containing medium of love and wisdom.

It can be seen from this that . . .
the Divine element of love,
the Divine element of wisdom,
and the Divine element of useful endeavor -
are in the Lord,
and that in essence
they are the Lord.
