In the spiritual sense, power and force are different. Power is something that radiates from you, the source is within. Force is violent, a trespass on the freedom of others.
Love is power. Naturally there is no power higher than love. But love is not force. Power never becomes force. It becomes bigger and bigger; it can become universal, but it still remains power.
