What motivates our words, our deeds, or our lives?

A person may have all the knowledge and skills over many subject areas; a person may be an expert or specialist in a specific field of expertise; a person may be wealthy and has lots of possessions; a person may be well-connected and know lots of people; a person may be famous and popular among the masses; a person may be successful in all his or her pursues… But if we have no Love, we are nothing.

Truly, anything that was done not out of Love - the Love for God, others, and self is pointless and worthless in the end. Love came down from Heaven to redeem us. Love is the essence of life, both of which come from God and are to be fulfilled in and through us.
