Welcome to another encouraging deep dive into finding purpose and understanding the true definitions of faith and love. In a beautifully succinct video, creator Jared Warren Gardner breaks down the profound connection between these powerful human experiences.
If you are currently searching for meaning or feeling isolated on your journey, let’s explore the wisdom shared in this short video and see how you can apply it to your day-to-day life.
1. Purpose Begins with Understanding
The video opens with a fundamental truth: the purpose of life is love. However, this isn’t a passive emotion; it requires active pursuit. Jared reminds us that “you have to know it for yourself through understanding this creation and life.”
True purpose is revealed when we look at the big picture—the beginning, the end, the eternal, and the spirit. To truly tap into this understanding, a combination of belief and action is required. It is not enough to just believe; we must have the faith to actively do what we know is right.
2. The True Nature of Love is Charity
What is the highest form of love? The video defines it clearly: loving without hoping for anything in return.
In theological terms, this pure, unconditional love is known as charity. When we give love with strings attached, we are seeking transaction. When we give love freely, we align ourselves with a higher, spiritual frequency.
3. Turning to the True Source of Love
For those moments when you feel entirely alone, the video offers a comforting reminder: Christ is always there for you.
"He is the source of all love. Go to the source."
When human relationships fall short, or the world feels isolating, turning to a spiritual foundation allows you to refill your cup from a limitless source of love.
4. The Power of a Broken Heart
One of the most profound paradoxes mentioned in the video is that a broken heart and a contrite spirit are essential for those who want to love deeply.
Why? Because experiencing our own pain and bringing it before God makes us deeply aware of the suffering of others. Empathy is born from vulnerability. When we acknowledge our own brokenness, our capacity to understand and care for the people around us expands exponentially.
5. Choosing Love
The ultimate question posed at the end of the video is simple yet life-changing: Do you choose love?
Choosing love means:
- Allowing yourself to be truly loved by God.
- Letting go of control and accepting grace.
- Extending that same profound, unconditional love to the people around you.
