A concentrated feeling of deep affection is love. The quest of a lifestyle satisfactory to an income earned is living. Yet having both love and a satisfactory life at the same time seems almost impossible.
So many people find love, and relentlessly look for what is wrong with that love, until wrong is found, even in places where wrong never existed. Life, and living it to the fullest is not about an income amount; this is learned only after spending a lifetime of becoming prosperous. After spending a lifetime focusing on what is wrong, we come into the knowledge that we have manifested our focus. A lifetime spent earning wealth to buy or control others is not an indication of love. It is more representative of our life’s focus.
To love is authentic living. The best living experience is achieved through love, not making money. When love is our focus, we get more of it in life. God is love, and by making Him our focus, the greatest experience of living is made available through God. The key to life is love, and by spending time with God; the greatest expression of love, the best life attainable on earth is realized. To love, and to be loved, is the one true pleasure in this life. The heart holds the power to feel what the ears cannot hear, nor the eyes see. God’s love is the only perfect love; man’s love needs only to be true, because it cannot compare to perfection.
This is a gradual realization, entire lifecycles pass before achieving an understanding of love’s value to life’s living. What matters most, is that we come to this realization before our life is over. Exemplify love of God and motivate the young, so they can live a lengthier existence with the greatest life experience known to man! Faith gives us hope of an eternal existence full of an endless reserve of a life filled with love.
