Let everyone understand that the real love of God does not consist in tear-shedding...but in serving God by serving those around us, in justice, fortitude of soul, and humility.
-St. Teresa of Avila
Peace and Love

Serving Jehovah: "You must Love Jehovah your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like id, is this, "You must love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets. Mathew 22:37-40, Deuteronomy 6:5; 10:12-14; Joshua 22:5; Mark 12:29-31; Luke 10:26-37

My understanding/experience of the love of God is: shifting your perspective and viewing all of creation through the eyes of God, and experiencing first hand, the love God feels for all that is.
I was too awestruck
to think about serving those around me, etc.
Agape can be so intense and almost overwhelming. All I could say was, 'I love!'.
