Everything we see and feel is created by God and continues to exist because of God. Without God they would become nothing. On the other hand, God, who is love exist on His own accord; and is eternal. Therefore, love is the only reality or truth. The world makes us believe that material things and self-interest will bring us happiness and security. This is a lie; because they are devoid of love. That is why we lose peace when we pursue our own interest and material goods. The world has even corrupted the meaning of the word, “love†by equating it with affinity or desire. However, love is not a feeling. It is the spirit of surrender, sacrifice, forgiveness and service. This love is revealed to us in Jesus, who emptied His life for us, so that we (who betrayed Him and were unfaithful to Him) may have life. It is this love that will bring us peace and joy, because when we exercise this love we will be true to what we are created for.
