I really liked this speech and thought it was cool how it started out. I liked when it said, "When love is established in the heart of a servant of god, there is no place there for remembrance of men or demons or of Paradise of Hell, or for anythings except the remembrance of the Beloved and his grace". I think that as we have good things in our life it is much harder for bad things to over take us when we are associated with good things that uplifting. I also like how it said, " This is the description of the lovers of God, who do righteousness, who are gifted with heavenly wisdom, who are on their guard both day and night, pure in thoughts, those whom God has prepared for his service, whom he has preserved by his care, whom he has invested with his own authority". Those who love God and have a true meaning of what love means really strive to go about doing good and helping others with a positive attitude. They know what love is and therefore want to share the love that God has given them with others around them. I really like how it continues, " They are completely satisfied, for they live the good life, their bliss is eternal and their joy is made perfect and they possess an everlasting treasure within their hearts". I think those that serve others dont need a reward but rather enjoy seeing those who they help serve express joy and happiness. They have a everlasting treasure within their hearts and that is they joy they get from helping others.
