One of the things that we are asked to do is love others, even more than we love ourselves.  Love comes from within and is a powerful tool when used unconditionally.  The importance of coming from a perspective of love can’t be underestimated.  Jesus can’t resist those who have love in their heart.   No matter your religion, if you live life with love and your intentions are genuine Jesus is there for us.  There is no reason to make things complicated.  No reason to be scared of our future if we are living life with true love.
