When I...
Ponder the word Love,
I wonder that this must be possibly the most
misunderstood word in humanity's.
Each of us has such a skewed concept of love that
sometimes I retort to myself; This is nothing but
insanity!
Love is not in the least lawless.
On the contrary love is law in action and law is
loving moral strictness.
We think of God's Law as being void of love,
sympathy and empathy.
We consider His Law as being full of burning
judgment and apathy.
And so we have invented, concocted and embraced
our own poisonous soup of love;
We have rejected the truth and have devised a love
so far from the true but so cherished by the youth.
Namby pamby, it is the anthem of humanity crew.
It is a ...
Love that serenades only pleasant songs to soothe
the ears.
A love that always flatters and pumps,
It inflates with airy lies,
It seeks with painful effort not to offend or to
produce tears or cries.
This kind of love comes not from above and only
lowers the soul!
Strange infatuation! It comes from beneath!
Would you know that whom the father loves he
disciplines, corrects and chastens?
Foolish, sinful man thinks so much that he is all right
when he is so wrong.
Have you not heard that true love cuts to heal?
And that anything opposite is as a thief who comes
to steal?
For so are lies that kill.
Have you not heard that love commands when it
seeks to save?
Have you not heard that love rejoices only in the
truth? And with hot passion hates lies, all things evil
and uncouth? And because truth is often bitter,
sometimes love is bitter?
But a huge boost to the liver!
Love is extrovert; she doesn't mind only her own
business.
Love is vocal; she doesn't keep silent when she
should speak.
To save, she lifts up her voice to its peak!
Love is firm; she doesn't bend because of
circumstances.
She shapes them!
Love is frank; she tells you exactly what the matter
is.
Love is a master artist; she paints the picture as it is.
Law and love have kissed each other.
They are married and never to sunder.
Therefore what God has joined together.
Let no man dare put asunder!
