This is an incomplete post

Stream of consciousness through a faulty voice transcription app...
Direction--. So, if you believe love,
Will fix most things right?
Like enough love ( will fix most problems ) or
psychologically, that kind of thing. (Enough love will fix mental disorders, emotional struggles and interpersonal issues)
Love plus a retraining (of the person's mind and behavior)
then the god-level is God's love plus retraining... i.e. sanctification.
For the purpose of:
Reordering
redirecting,
renewing
making a new life out of new thoughts,
A new reality,
new habits, that kind of thing.
And then the result is established.
It is Becomes the new state of being ...
The New Normal.
So what we if we believed that love- God's love- would change everything?
Then, how would that in turn affect our life?
We would give our time to it (God's love, use our time seeking more of that) and attention and devotion, right? (Refocus life's efforts)
We would Be looking towards love or finding love.
And most people are looking to be loved or looking for that which they do "love"
whatever their concept of Love is
whether that's an emotion,
a feeling, an activity,
a substance, a person, you know, whatever they're looking for now.
Maybe they're seeking those items from a lack of Love, okay? (Deeper soul lack of love is the drive)
But if they believe that ( they need to have greater love inside, and that love fixes life's problems... ) then they would go and you know, be putting their efforts, their life, their will and what limited time they have towards that. ( first and foremost and as an End goal)
Maybe in trying to meet their "need" through self-fulfillment. Those types of things.
[ An aside on the recalibration of values and priorities ]
So looking towards (someone or something), right?
That's attention right?
And then after attention, you are facing (someone, something,) right?
You're facing it when you are looking in a certain direction, okay?
( Looking around, 360, first.. then something catches your attention ... then you stop, give it your attention and focus.
A byproduct is you are now facing the object of attention /intrigue/ desire. A decision to advance requires effort, whether mental, emotional, or physical... if it is a real person 100m away, then physical to walk over...
If it is a goal, then mental effort to begin to advance.
If a relationship, then emotional effort to communicate...)
And then you put effort, then, you're moving right in that direction.
And that focus should be Christ for the Christian. We should look to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Who is full of grace and truth and the image of the invisible. God.
And we should advance to Him.
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
Philippians 3:12-14, 16 NKJV
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
I John 2:6 NKJV
