The Book of Life is placed before us. We are to approach it with awe and humility-defenses down, as we stand completely open before God. At such a moment as this, we too, may glimpse the ultimate truth that God's love is the power that enlivens us and shines through us. Love is the supreme meaning of our life. For if we want to give love a place in our lives, then we must come to an understanding of how love truly operates.
Love is a very enjoyable emotion, but just one of the many human emotions that one can experience.
To be sure, love is indeed a feeling. But it's much more than that. Love is a choice. It's an act of will, it's a commitment, it's a decision of the heart and mind to treat someone with caring, respect, compassion, and understanding-to name just a few of the many qualities of love. Love is a choice that we make every day.
