In the beginning when God created the world it was formless and void. Before we get the Holy Spirit we are formless and void. There is no life. We are filled with hatred and selfishness rather then love and altruism. There is no water within us because only the Holy Spirit can fill us with water to overflowing. When you become saved "You are a new creation. The old is gone. Behold all things have become new." And "He who began a good work in you will carry it on till the day of completion."
There is no light within you before you receive the Holy Spirit. You are totally lost in darkness. Your mind is fixated on some form of sin 24/7. "The carnal mind is hostile toward God. It cannot please God or submit to his will." Then God shines his light into your soul and it comes to life. Suddenly there are trees and birds and fish. You are finally living. He breaths air into your nostrils, and you can finally Breathe. You thought you could breath before, but you realize you were merely gasping for air. You didn't know how to breath. You didn't comprehend at all how to love. Your heart was void and empty and callous like a rock. "We love because he first loved us." Apart from God bringing you to life you cannot truly love. All you care about is yourself.
But then you bask in the glow of God's love for the first time. You feel the warmth of his Son. Your heart melts and you finally begin to Know how to love.
I hope you can learn to love others like God loves you.
