DAY 1870: What is a “loveless life” for you? Which kinds of love? Can anyone live loveless? A Loveless Life There is no such thing as a loveless life. If a person feels they are living a loveless life, they are deeply--and possibly clinically--depressed, and need to get some type of medical help as soon as possible. God love every human being not matter what the individual's religion, lack of religion, color, nationality, gender, gender identification, or any other label that individuals or groups may want to put on themselves or other people. "O Son of Man! Veiled in My immemorial being and in the ancient eternity of My essence, I knew My love for thee; therefore I created thee, have engraved on thee Mine image and revealed to thee My beauty." Baha'u'llah3 In the above quote Baha'u'llah, speaking in the voice of God, tells us that we are love. There are no limits on God's love, and the only thing we have to do is to believe that God loves us. When we believe in God's love, we can see it everywhere. I suspect that, some of the reasons, people think they are living a loveless life is because they don't believe they are lovable or they don't believe that God or anyone else loves them.

My question for you has two parts: What is the worst weather you’ve experienced? And what is your ideal weather? Worst Weather An Oklahoma winter, snow unabated blocks the doors and the highway. Las Vegas summer triple digit temperatures continue to rise. Ideal Weather Temperatures ranging between the low sixties and the high seventies. Clear to partly cloudy skies, with evening or morning rain: snow capped mountain peaks. |
