The Secret of True Love

Receiving God's blessings and love to be able to go through life will help us to connect deeply with Faith. Expand your boundaries with the following article.


"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love." 2 Peter 1:5-7

Good wood is that which in its use does not lose its shape, does not change or give way, does not break. Something similar happens with our faith, that deep conviction that drives us to trust in God and to live according to his teachings.

Just as wood becomes furniture, doors, tables and structures that support a roof, our spirituality, our relationship with God, shapes and sustains our life. Our faith nourishes the love of the Holy Spirit and helps us to be beings of light in a world in need of hope.

But unlike wood, we have the ability to make choices and influence our own spiritual formation. We do not choose the environment in which we grow up, the circumstances we face or the challenges we face, but we can choose how we respond to them and what kind of people we want to be in the light of the Holy Spirit.


"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord." Psalm 31:24

Becoming "good wood" requires a daily commitment, a daily task that brings us closer to the Heavenly Father's reward. It does not depend on chance, but on hard work and constant dedication to nurture our heart with God. It requires having the courage to embark on a path of faith and self-love, knowing that success is not guaranteed, but that it is worth the effort.

The Lord desires that we put our talents and abilities into practice with integrity and love. True success is not measured by material achievements or external recognition, but by the way we strive to live in harmony with the values of the Kingdom of God.


"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken!" Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

To be "good wood," it is necessary to examine the way we work, pray and relate to others. We must reflect on the imprint we leave on those around us, in our family and in our faith community.

Being "good wood" implies being faithful to our essence, without hiding our weaknesses or pretending to be something we are not. It means being strong and flexible at the same time, able to face challenges with fortitude and to adapt to circumstances without losing our integrity.

Let us remember that our spirit should reflect the characteristics of "good wood". Our hope and faith should illuminate the moments of uncertainty on our path. When dark thoughts and thoughts far from God threaten to shatter our confidence, we should focus on the blessings that God pours out on us and on his unconditional love.


"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Prayer is the surest way to approach our Heavenly Father. Through it, we strengthen our connection with God and cultivate an intimate relationship with him. Spiritual growth does not happen overnight; it takes time, effort and constant dedication.

Have we become "good wood"? If we haven't yet, it's not too late. Let us continue to work with the guidance and grace of the Holy Spirit. Let us become strong and confident like Jesus, let us approach our family and friends with love and compassion. Let us be confident in our choices and aspire to be who we truly desire to be with the Lord.
