GOSPEL OF LOVE VIDEO SERIES (55) - LOVE IN SEPARATION

The devotee of God lives in the world, but they are not of this world. They love others but they do not make anyone else their supreme beloved. Their beloved is God. That is spiritual life. Lord Jesus Christ is teaching this in the first and foremost commandment that we should love the Supreme with all of our hearts, all of our minds, with our entire being. That we should we give everything we have in love to the Supreme. And we will not be losers, we will actually gain God, we will gain everything.
Such a condition of heart is very rare in this world. Please consider for a moment, have you ever met anyone who was in this condition? Who loves God so completely that they have no other interests in life? That this love motivates them so much that they completely dedicate their life to the service of God, that such a lover of God feels such compassion and sadness for the suffering of all living beings in this world. And this compassion motivates such a pure loving servant of God to always think of ways to try to help the living beings to somehow want to come back home to the loving embrace of the Supreme Person.
We may feel very far away from being able to follow Jesus’ first and foremost commandment. We might feel unqualified, but we should never feel hopeless that we cannot begin and try to follow Jesus’ instructions. Depending on the condition of a person’s heart and mind, it may seem very difficult, but by the grace of the Lord everything becomes possible. Today’s sinner can become tomorrow’s saint.
