There is no such thing as forced love. To truly love, one must be free to not love. When we want someone to love us, we may offer our best inducements. We call it wooing. I am sure God does His share of this. When He woos us, He is telling us that to love Him in return is worth it. In the end we must accept His proposal to share life together. This self-choice is also what we must absolutely grant to others if true love is to flourish.
