If you find these words too harsh, then your heart is hardened to authentic love and you are deaf to His Word. Our modern-day, self-identify, twisted form of love is not true love. Authentic love is what each of us so desperately needs and wants because . . . God, who is Love, created each of us out of love and for love, in His image and likeness. This is ever clear in His Word.
Jesus tells us to love one another as He loves us. The Church teaches us that to love is to will the good of the other. So how does true love translate in today's terms? It doesn't. And that's our biggest problem.
Unless we align our understanding of love to God's definition, we shall be damned to an eternal life without love, without God. The more we turn inward, the more we demand to define love according to our ways. Thus the further we distance ourselves from God, from love, the closer we find ourselves to eternal damnation.
Today, Original Sin is playing out masterfully, just as the Evil One has orchestrated, and too many in society play along. There is nothing beautiful about self-defined ideology. The vileness of self-identity is at the heart of today's major crisis. It masks itself as self-love, but under that mask is emptiness. Returning to Love, Divine Love, is what we need to resolve every crisis. Authentic love is the Light of Love, the eternal grace of Love Himself. God's love is our redemption. Since we are created in His image and likeness, then we need no mask. We need only to recognize ourselves as God sees us, to love as He loves us.
Love is serving God first and foremost. We are to be His servants at all times, seeking always His will. In seeking, we shall find because God is ever-present, always waiting, with arms wide opened, ready to embrace us. If we abide in Him, we live in Love. If we turn away from Him, we reject Love. So be His servant, else be damned.
