There are pains that only the love of God can sustain: the lack of meaning, the lack of significance, the lack of purpose. We see unhappy people with “perfect” lives, people who have possessions, recognition, influence, and families that seem wonderful. But within themselves, they feel that something is missing, and that something is the completeness that only the love of God is capable of making us feel.
Many live behind the masks of the ego, feel proud, and deny God, but in pain and despair, all these masks fall away. Pride gives way to humility, and finally, they allow God to touch their hearts.
When the ego falls silent, the heart cries out, screaming very loudly, because after obtaining everything their egos longed for so much—whether money, influence, or marriages—they realize that they were feeding the ego, not the heart. Then the pain comes as emptiness, guilt, and regret for the life they lived.
We do not need to suffer so greatly in order to repent and transform our lives. We only need to connect more deeply with our hearts. We need to feel and understand where the pain comes from, where the anguish comes from, where the sadness comes from, where all the feelings we are experiencing come from.
What are the beliefs that make me think this way and generate these feelings? What perspectives do I have, and how can I change them?
If we think for long enough, we will realize that there is nothing on this plane that can truly satisfy us, except something from a higher plane. To transcend is not to deny matter, but rather to nourish ourselves, in the right place, with that which fills us with life, so that we may live material reality with fullness, an abundance of peace, love, and joy; to live a life truly prosperous in meaning, significance, and purpose.
Jesus is the bread of life, the nourishment of our soul.
Jesus is the way. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the life.
Divine love is the answer we have been searching for.
