However, we must realize that happiness comes only as a result of our choice to love God with a pure heart of love. We truly need nothing else to be happy beyond measure (See Diary #576).Īre you happy? If not, what do you blame for your lack of happiness? It’s easy to point and assign blame. This is the greatest satisfaction in life. The joy that fills us as a result of loving God with a pure love, becomes so strong that it overflows into a profound and sincere love for others. We will discover that, as a result of our pure love of God, we are also filled with a joy so abundant and powerful that we need no other reward. When we can love in this way, selflessly and focused only on God’s greatness and beauty, then we will discover something else quite glorious. When we love God with a pure love, we will find that we are drawn to God for His sake, because He is glorious and worthy of our love, and because loving Him is right and just. Pure love looks only at the one being loved. For love to be pure, it must be freed from all selfishness. And, more specifically, it is first to love God with a pure love. The ultimate purpose of your life is love.
