Authentic love springs from one source. It flows through how we love ourselves, others, and God, interconnected and inseparable. Jesus's call to love our neighbors as ourselves reveals this unity. The love we offer is not about quantity but about sharing the same divine source. Many struggle with this, attempting love through willpower alone, forgetting the first commandment. True love transcends duality, linking us to God’s boundless love. Suffering often follows deep love, pruning our egos and deepening our faith. In this lifelong journey, love becomes an ever-open door, enriching our mind, body, and soul.
May we embrace the divine source of love, finding unity in how we love ourselves, others, and God, allowing this boundless love to enrich our lives and deepen our faith.
