People who have intended and loved what is evil in the world intend and love what is evil in the other life, and then they no longer allow themselves… - Emmanuel Swedenborg

Angels from the Lord lead and protect us every moment and every moment of every moment.

Goodwill has something in common with each of these categories of love, because goodwill is by definition a love for usefulness of all kinds. Goodwill wants to do what is good for our neighbor, and goodness is the same as usefulness. Each of the categories of love just mentioned have usefulness as their goal: love for heaven has the goal of being useful in spiritual ways; love for the world has the goal of being useful in earthly ways, which could also be called forms of civil service; and love for ourselves has the goal of being useful in physical ways, which could also be labeled benefits at home for ourselves and our loved ones.

Further still, heaven is where the Lord is recognized, trusted, and loved. The different ways he is worshiped — in variations that stem from the difference of activity from one community to another — do not cause harm but bring benefit, because they are a source of heaven’s perfection.
