Just two weeks ago, I brought up Einstein's theory of relativity. A little bit more physics today.
You probably have heard of Absolute Zero, the temperature of -273 deg C. We get heat when molecules vibrate. At absolute zero, all molecular activity ceases and you reach the coldest possible temperature, for you cannot possibly get "deader." On the other hand, there is no limit as to how high a temperature can go. The sun is plenty hot, but there's no reason why there shouldn't be something else that burns even hotter.
All this makes me think of loving God. To not love God, just reject him, be like the Devil, and you reach the very low limit of spiritual death. On the other hand, if you love God very much, some saint probably loves him even more. And even the most loving saint cannot say that he has loved God enough. So we have an open high end and can say that there is no limit as to how much you can love God. Well, this is exciting because you can go as far as you want!
