Once that channel is opened for us to unconditionally love others, we are in union with God’s spirit.
Then and only then do we experience the genuine happiness, peace, and joy that have always eluded us.
Once united, and by our faith, God protects us, provides for us, and guides us toward everything that will satisfy us the most.

James 3:14-24 states: “What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it in your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, ‘Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well’—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing? What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. Now someone may argue, ‘Some people have faith; others have good deeds.’ But I say, ‘How can you show me your faith if you don't have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.…’ So you see, we are shown to be right with God by what we do, not by faith alone” (NLT).
Our good deeds include forgiving others so we can love them unconditionally.

Our faith, not our good deeds, makes us righteous.
However, faith without works is dead.
If we are not connected with God, we suffer.
God is not “doing” this to us.
He wants union with us, but we must allow it.
And to have that union, we must remove the blocks that are in the way of us unconditionally loving others.

Once you remove the blocks in the way of unconditionally giving to others, which is to unconditionally love others, then your faith in God grows, since He reveals Himself to you more and more, giving you guidance, direction, and protection.
And this growing union with God’s loving spirit flowing through you brings you a peace, happiness, and joy that you have never known before, and He will bring you what will satisfy you most.
You can live through difficult times and problems with faith and hope, knowing that God is guiding you.
