on love

I think it is right and just that all creatures be free. Indeed, that God Himself has ordained the world and our relationship to him in such a manner. Love therefore cannot be coerced, it cannot be conditional, it should not require preference upon another, it must exist strong and true; penetrating all frame, faculty and nature.
Love must be free, for love that is not free is not love at all. In such a state of mind I require that onto others; that they be free. And as apparent dichotomy time and again prove itself the founder of truth, in freedom will exist absolute security. Within this security evolves the greatest form of acceptance, adoration and love for the creature in it's rawest state, as God originally saw fit. It is this that I wait for, and for this that I hope.

"The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free."
-C.S. Lewis
