God, divine Love, cannot be in physical space or confined to a location, a situation, a person, or a group of persons, for God is ever-present Spirit.

One who loves God and looks to Him as a trusted friend, finds increasing love for mankind. He is soon aware that he is indeed his brother's keeper, in that he must keep in consciousness a concept of his brother that will lighten his brother's burden, not add to it. The individual in need may be unknown to us, but if he crosses our path, we can bless him and ourselves through prayer. "If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us."I John 4:12;
