And this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight so that you may be able to discern what is best, and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God
-Philippians 1:9-11
As expressed in this passage, real love is rooted in knowledge and understanding not merely an emotion. As a follower of Jesus I am to approve and practice what I know to be morally and ethically best. Also, my goal in this life is to be without any mixture of evil and not be open to any defilement because of moral and/or spiritual failure. The ultimate goal and purpose of my life is to bring glory and praise to God.
When I glorify and praise God, everything is as it should be. That's my main mission in life. For I know in the core of who I am, my life is given to me to bring glory to God and to live to honor Him. That's it.
That's all.
When I live for Him alone, I will see glimpses of heaven in my life, radiating through me.
All my eyes want to see is His glory magnified. All I want is Him.
