Biblical Answer

When the world is against us, it can be challenging to prioritize love. However, the Bible teaches that our love for God should be the paramount love. This means that when our love for others or ourselves comes into conflict with our love for God, we must yield to the higher relationship. This is not to say that we do not love others, but rather that our love for God should guide our decisions and actions. In fact, Jesus teaches that we should love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30).

However, the world's understanding of love is often antithetical to true love. The world's version of love is often rooted in sinful lusts and selfish desires, rather than genuine selflessness and sacrifice. This is why we need to further explore the power of human love to feed our divine love. By loving others, including our spouses, children, and neighbors, we demonstrate our love for God. As the Bible teaches, "Whoever claims to love God yet hates his brother or sister is a liar" (1 John 4:20). By prioritizing our love for God and demonstrating that love to others, we can overcome the challenges of the world and live a life that reflects God's love.

In order to prioritize love, we must understand that our love is not just a feeling, but a choice. We must choose to love God and others, even when it is difficult or unpopular. We must also recognize that our love for others is not just about tolerance or a warm feeling, but about actively demonstrating our love through our actions and decisions. By prioritizing our love for God and others, we can live a life that is guided by God's love and reflects His character. As the Bible teaches, "We love because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19). By prioritizing our love for God and others, we can experience the transformative power of love and live a life that is filled with joy, peace, and purpose.
