Love as the Meaning of Pain

Love gives meaning to pain. Love rises above all pain. Pain exists only because love also exists, because without love it would be unjust to suffer. Love gives meaning to pain. Love—the infinite feeling of belonging—makes the insignificant feel important.

Love is the proof of the personal nature of God, even in the face of the vastness of the universe. For amid trillions of planets, trillions of stars, trillions of galaxies, infinite universes, endless timelines, and countless quantum superpositions, the feeling of love that God places in our hearts removes every sense of insignificance, every feeling that nothing matters, every feeling that nothing makes sense.

Because love is the feeling of belonging, of significance, of importance. Nothing would make sense—every possibility unfolds across the multiverse; time bends and unfolds, flows and is manipulated—but at the end of all this, God speaks through love: even though you are dust, you are My diamond.
