Often times we hear that we either feel love in our heart or we don't, there is nothing we can do about it. Love either already exists or it doesn't we can not create it, in other words. Well, I am not sure if that is entirely true.
How about if we don't eat for long hours of hot summer days because we want to make our heart feel there is something for which we deprive our self from the most basic needs. We willingly take on an apparent trouble for our body to go beyond the martial needs, to hear the voice and to see the light that we would otherwise don't. It starts from our will, from our wish to change, to make our heart change, to force our perceptions sense a world beyond what the five senses show us, to see the unseen, in truth. As a result of this seemingly physical action we feel different, our heart feels totally revived. Keep repeating such actions, or even not, we feel the love that has engulfed our heart and we see the light that has enlightened the world. Ramadan Mobarak, this is the time we can rejuvenate our heart.
Do we have to inflict upon our self 18 hours or so of fasting while we find it unbearable considering our personal circumstances? I don't think so. We are only expected to try our best for God. What matters, first and for most, is to keep trying good deeds for him ,to the extent that we can afford, which will shape our true nature for the after life.
53:39
And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

"Indeed, this is for you a reward, and your effort has been appreciated."
20;15
Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.
صدق الله العلي العظيم
