Which emotion causes the lake waters to swarm, to roll in wave after wave, that causes crickets to rub their legs to a consistent rhythm in the night, which emotion guides a mother to raise her children, which emotion keeps a family together, keeping a father continuously going to work everyday to bring in a paycheck for his family.
Which emotion is it that guides someone into happy gleeful moments. How are we caused to laugh, to chuckle, how is it that we are able to smile, what does a summer day do to our emotions, to bring us to run and jump rope, to take long walks on sandy beaches. To be in touch with our friends by email or greetings card on holidays. When we hear a Cantor singing the daily prayers and Shabbat prayers, which emotion causes us to join him and be in sweet beautiful song with him?
When we pray and G-d answers our prayers, which emotion does this cause? When we are given the greatest of all gifts, the contact with the supreme G-d, to thank this G-d and to praise Him, which emotion does this spiritual connection stir within us?
Love, of course, is the answer, it is love that keeps the wheels spinning, it is love that shines like sunshine on the leaf of a flower so it blooms into a beautiful bud. Love is the strongest and most proficient of all emotions, stronger than anger which just serves as a destructive not creative power, love is the emotion that builds the strongest of all bridges, that mends and that heals.
Love is G-d and it is G-d's love that keeps us alive, without love, unconditional love, we would perish.
Thanking G-d for His power to love us, even when we need to be forgiven for transgressions, His power of love never dies, love is the greatest most powerful of all emotions.
You have a choice, you can love or you can hate, choose love and live forever in an eternal life with all things that will give you love in return and in doing so bring you happiness.
Give love unconditionally and those around you will love you back.
