The most important pursuit

What is the most important goal in your life?

Is it the pursuit of fame, riches, position, title, companionship, family, or spiritual knowledge? There is nothing wrong with having any of these accomplishments, but the most desirable achievement of all is love. For without love one can have headline fame, billions of dollars, the CEO position, a faithful partner, kin galore and reams of spiritual knowledge, but still feel empty and lacking.

Love is Life.

Love is content. Love is comfort. Love is power. Love is might. Love is fearless. Love is confident. Love is happy. Love is ever-faithful, ever-present and always satisfied. Love does not fail, does not waver, does not wane or disappear. Love is a constant. It defines our value and worth. Love is the sum total of supreme goodness, and it belongs to us all.

Without love, wealth is emptiness. Without love, popularity is a fraud. Without love, status is lonely. Without love, family and marriage ring hollow. Without love, there is no companionship. Without love, truth is a flat-footed intellectual exercise. Without love, there is no life.

Love is the most important thing.

God is Love. When you have God, you have Love, and you have all worth having.

Riches are spent, titles are relinquished, fame fades, people come and go, truth is argued and debated, but Love lasts through it all.

Love is what makes life worth living. Love is the living. Love is the Life.

Live Love. It’s the one thing most worth pursuing.

God is love.” John

Evan, I like what you are exploring here because in considering Love you have removed the "person" from love and Love. Even having a faithful spouce does not abdicate us from understanding Love...and practicing that understanding with everyone we meet. Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!
