O None Can Be Loved Like Jesus

God lives and works today. His love will make our lives rich and happy. But who can experience His love? Whoever is willing to open his heart wide, so that God can enter in and set him aflame with love.

Then that person's life will share the blissful testimony of today's meditation by Basilia Schlink, O none can be loved like Jesus. O none can be loved as is Jesus, none like him is found anywhere. To see whom I love, whom I live for, for no one with him can compare.

To love Jesus means to love the greatest, the most glorious, and the fairest of the sons of men. To love Jesus means to become happy, yes, blissful, because in Jesus is concentrated all the love in heaven and on earth. Jesus has given tremendous promises to those who love him.

According to John 14, he will manifest himself to them and make his home with them. What must it mean for Jesus to truly make his home in a person's heart? We know that if an especially peaceful and loving person lives in a house, then that whole house radiates with peace and love. And so it is a wonderful promise that is given those who love Jesus.

Here it doesn't say, those who believe in him. Jesus places the emphasis rather on those who love him. But how do we attain this love for Jesus? The way is so simple.

Namely, we must bring Jesus that which has filled our hearts, that which we've loved most, that which has been most important to us, and let go of it. We can discover what this is by considering what causes us the most worry. Our worries show us what we love.

They show us the things that we love so much that we are bound to them. For example, our work, our health, our activities, our money, our family, our reputation, or our well-being. Whatever has prevented Jesus from having first place in our lives must be brought to him on the cross.

Do we realize how often Jesus stands before our souls like a beggar, wooing for our love? Why does he do so? Because we are his entire love. We have no idea how much Jesus longs to dwell with us, to be united with us, and to do everything with us. May the Lord grant us the grace to give him our undivided love.

Then we will become happy. Then we will be strong, even in the coming times of trouble. Then Jesus will love us in return.

What could make us happier than when he makes his dwelling within us? He is everlasting. He came to us below, that God to all his children his wondrous love might show. Love that's eternal is waiting, and bleeds with every heart.
