Jesus said to his disciples: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him, “Master, then what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me. “I have told you this while I am with you. The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name — he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” —John 14:21-26

When I lived in the presence of the Holy Spirit, His power cut through me, and I knew it was undefeatable. His love and mercy poured out on me and covered me. The power, love, and mercy were beyond emotion and sentiment as they are here in this world, and unlike anything I had experienced to that point. They touched me as rays of sunshine touch our skin. I felt them not only in my soul but on my flesh.

God’s love is greater than any other force in the universe, and it is the driving force of life itself. The love in your heart comes from Our Lord; the more you let it flow out to others, the more Christ replenishes it, for God’s love is inexhaustible.
