Love Will Save Us

Love alone will save us. It does not matter how much faith or hope you have, without love there is no salvation. What does it mean to have love? One should ask God to help them to love others without ceasing. There is so much suffering around us, that we can get overwhelmed. My recommendation is to ask oneself whom God has put in our lives to be the recipients of our personal love. None of us can take care of the whole world and all people directly. God has put in our lives family, friends, and others who are within our reach to love and lift up. You are doing the most you can when you make those whom God has placed in your life the ones you should love. It is best to love greatly one person or a few people, than to spread oneself extremely thin through haphazardly trying to rescue and console everyone whom is suffering. There is a tendency among altruistic people today, to try to save the whole world in one fell swoop, to try to construct some sort of global scheme for helping and taking care of all the world's suffering and poor. But really, without the close love within families, everything falls apart. Some people can help more than others, but God will put those whom He wants us to love in our everyday lives. Don't go looking for people far and wide to help. Look to your immediate surroundings, and ask God who He is putting in your path to be a recipient of His saving love through you and your actions.
