The Logic of Divine Love
I always responded simply: if you saved someone, took care of someone, or sacrificed something to help another, then the feeling that arises within you is similar to love.
There is a certain illness—the inability to forgive. It gives rise to many other illnesses.
There is also another illness—the inability and unwillingness to nurture.
Both of these illnesses stem from the inability to love.
You can treat a loved one gently or sternly, but you must always help and nurture them.
If you can’t nurture others, start by nurturing yourself.
A loved one should always be cherished, and in no case should this feeling be extinguished or cooled by judgment, fears, or negative thoughts.
If you fear betrayal—pray and accept it as from God. If you fear they might leave—pray, thank God, and accept His will, whatever it may be.
The more illogical and unjust the pain caused by a loved one, the more it aligns with Divine logic aimed at the salvation of children and the purification of love in the soul.
A loved one should be loved like a child, with all their flaws, while understanding that nurturing is necessary.
Many parents give everything to their child without expecting anything in return. However, love not only gives, it also takes.
A child must learn from an early age to care for their parents, to help and support them, to make sacrifices for them.
Similarly, a loved one should be asked and expected to show care, tenderness, and attention. After all, it takes two to dance the tango.
Another important beacon is our attitude towards ourselves.
If we are Divine in our essence, if we are made of love, then we have no right to think poorly of ourselves or despise ourselves.
We will always be imperfect on the outside, but we are absolutely perfect in our essence.
Therefore, we should love and nurture ourselves, just as we would a child — not only caring for our soul, but also for our spirit and body.
Love is energy. The more love we have, the more energy we should give, expanding our capacity for control and management of situations, for nurturing ourselves and others.
