AC 3063, 3066, 3068 - Love

AC 3063

Love is itself turned to mercy
and becomes mercy
when anyone who is in need of help
is regarded from love or charity;
so mercy is the effect of love
toward the needy and miserable.
But here
by "mercy" in the internal sense is meant love;
and by "doing mercy" is meant an influx of love,
because it is from
the Lord's Divine Itself into His Divine Human;
for it was the Lord's Divine love
through which He made His Human Divine;
for love is the very being of life,
and no one has Divine love but the Lord.

AC 3066

. . . in all things
the love is the end and the use,
for nothing is regarded as the end and use
except that which is love.

AC 3068

Memory-knowledge without truth is an empty vessel;
and so too is truth without good;
but memory-knowledge in which there is truth,
and truth in which there is good,
are full vessels.
Affection which is of love is that which conjoins
so that they may be with in order;
for love is spiritual conjunction.
