In my meditation on the Prayer of Saint Francis this morning, when I sought "to love rather than to be loved," I knew that my ongoing desire to feel God's love was the very proof of God's love, that my conscious desire must needs be not to eyebrows-up know but to soul-feel my love for God.
I can believe that is the meaning of Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven, and all these things shall be added unto you. Our love for God is the kingdom of Heaven. In that love, "all these things" are nonexistent...in our love for and from God, there is naught else. Then we fully realize we have all there is to have.
The Sermon's agree with your adversary quickly is the basic instruction for seeking to love rather than to be loved. We agree with our adversary in order to come to common ground, not agree so we can avoid an argument. We can never gain common ground through avoiding, but only by coming together.
In coming together, we become One. There. That is where God is.
Thank you.
