There is nothing more beautiful than the love of Jesus. The love of Jesus is a perfect love; it is not corrupted by the human ego. Even when we fail, Jesus continues to love us. Jesus never grows tired of us. Jesus never turns His back on a child who cries out in His name.
Jesus has a love that, when we are in His presence, completely overwhelms us; in Him, we feel the completeness of our heart, because we feel how true His love is and how His love does not depend on the circumstances of our lives or on any condition whatsoever.
Jesus loves us because He sees us as parts of God. Our impermanent imperfections do not matter, because what matters is the essence He sees within us, and the value He gives to each of these essences is infinite.
Jesus sees us as we see a baby we love: with such pure and unconditional love. He is not upset by our behavior because of any displeasure with us, but rather out of compassion for what we are feeling and suffering.
Many times, we are able to feel compassion for a baby when it falls or gets hurt, but Jesus has compassion for us even in our tantrums. He always looks at us with a loving gaze; He has compassion for all our pain, even when we are stubborn and choose to do things our own way.
We often ask what the meaning of life is, and in the presence of Jesus’ love, nothing needs to make sense, because the very love that burns within us, in His presence, is what fills us, giving meaning to everything and a perfect sense of wholeness.
That is why there is nothing more important than our love for God in this world. That is why the first of the Ten Commandments is to love God, and why Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our understanding, with all our soul, and with all our heart. The more we open our hearts to God, the more we allow ourselves to receive and feel the love He has for us.
