What’s the LOVE we really SEEK?

what's the love we really seek 2012

Love is a great thing
greatest of all goods because it renders light every burden
and bears equally all that is unequal.
Because it carries a burden without feeling it,
and renders sweet and pleasing every bitterness.

Nothing is sweeter than Love,
nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime
nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant
nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth
because love is born of God,
nor it can rest upon created things, but only in God.

Loving broken people

to believe what the eyes cannot see 2012

We cannot exempt ourselves from the world

while we are in the world,

and while we are in it

it is our lot to love broken men.

Yet how can we do it

when we are ourselves are broken,

 and need to be assured

that we are loved

that we are accepted

for being the broken people that we are.

We cannot love a person

with an all accepting, transcending and encompassing love

without being hurt somewhat,

without being disappointed,

without being failed

of our expectations.

We cannot love

without being broken,

yet we cannot continue in love

without being stronger

than our brokenness.

It is only in Jesus

where we can find healing and strength

so as to continue in this love,

so as to continue suffering again and again

yet rise again and again

in a love that is far above

any expectations,

in a love that does not retreat

from any hurt

or any frustration,

but in a love that dares to dare

in a love that dares to dream

in a love

that never ever fails!

What Destiny Awaits You?

 

For how long can you be happy in this life?

For how long can positive thoughts sustain you?

 

Will you be able to escape the aging years ahead?

Will you be able to escape your death?

 

Will you be able to escape the death of those around you

and bear the pain of their passing away?

 

Will you not grieve when your loved one passes away?

Will you not miss them?

Where shall you find your comfort in the end?

 

Shall you find it in the thought that they are not really gone,

but shall take on new personalities someday, somewhere, in another lifetime?

Personalities that knew you not

Personalities that have not your memory

nor the remembrance of your love

 

Shall you find comfort that they might go unto the Absolute

somewhere where all shall finally be merged as one,

energies pulsating, being absorbed unto the whole,

mere energies that sink and rise without end

without form

without persons you’ve wanted to love and to be with forever

 

No, you shall not.

You cannot

and even if you say you can,

you would have lost this one thing:

 

You would have lost

what true love

really means

On the Nature of Love

992545_bonding.jpg

Love is the Father
Love is the Son
Love is that which the Father and the Son express and manifest, that which encompasses both, that which communicates and conveys the most sublime.

Love is personal
Love is real
Love is the most tangible thing you’ll ever know

You lose yourself into love
but then you are never truly lost

When people hurt you, does it mean they don’t love you?

bench.jpg

When people hurt you, does it mean they don’t love you?
Does it mean they don’t really care at all?
Take heart and wallow not yet in misery.

For the words which have pierced you the most,
words which may have even come
from the people you loved the most,
were not the only words said about you.
Those were probably not the only words
they’ve said about you;
not the only words they wanted to say;
and maybe, just maybe,
not the words they should have said
had they only known how to say
what they truly mean to say.
