Embracing the Transformative Power of Love

-

Loving ourselves and others is a profound journey that shapes our existence. How do we love? Completely, sincerely, unreservedly? We grapple with the essence of love, confronting our fears and doubts. Yet, within this journey lies the transformative power of love, an essence embodied in the divine.

It is the love of God, personified in Jesus Christ, that illuminates our path towards unconditional love. As we receive, learn, and embrace this divine love, it permeates every aspect of our being.

When we allow this love to flow within us—nurturing our minds, hearts, spirits, and souls—it creates an overflow that extends to touch the lives of those around us.

God’s love knows no bounds; it is boundless and eternal, embracing us unconditionally despite our imperfections and weaknesses.

As the Apostle Paul reminds us, “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come...shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39). It is this divine love that breaks through our barriers, gently flowing without constraint, filling the voids within our shattered hearts.

In our brokenness, we come to see ourselves with clarity—the depths of our being filled with the love of God. This mystical love shatters our pride, dismantles our prejudices, and strips away the facades until we are laid bare.

It is only through brokenness that we can shed the fear of loving and embrace love effortlessly, and authentically.

As we embrace our brokenness, we learn to love ourselves sincerely, recognizing the inherent beauty in our imperfections.

With spiritual eyes unveiled, we begin to see others not as separate entities, but as fellow travellers on the journey of life, each bearing their scars and vulnerabilities.

In this shared brokenness, we find unity and compassion. Our love transcends expectations and perceptions, embracing others in their entirety—their weaknesses, scars, and emptiness.

Transformed by God’s love, we enter into a new realm—a realm of pure compassion, kindness, humility, and grace—a paradise where love reigns supreme.

As the world beholds our love, it yearns to emulate it, seeking to understand the depths of unconditional love that bind us together.

Heaven itself rejoices at the sight of brethren dwelling in unity, showering blessings upon those who embrace the transformative power of love.

For in love, we find redemption. Just as Jesus, broken and vulnerable on the cross, exemplified the ultimate act of love, so too are we called to love one another.

May the love of God fill your heart to overflowing, igniting a cascade of love that touches every soul it encounters.

Imagine the joy in heaven, the abundance of blessings, and the richness of life when love becomes the guiding force in our world.

Blessings!

A Replica of the First Passover

-

Acts chapter 12 tells the story of Herod's cruel acts towards the apostles. After killing James, he arrests Peter and imprisons him during the Passover festival. However, an angel of the Lord miraculously frees Peter from the prison (Acts 12:3-4). Similarly, Exodus chapter 12 recounts the first Passover, in which God liberates the Israelites from Pharaoh's harsh slavery. Peter's miraculous escape from prison is like a replica of the first Passover, where an angel delivers him. During the night, an angel of the Lord appears to Peter while he's asleep and instructs him, "Gird yourself and bind on your sandals" (Acts 12:8). Similarly, God gives the same instructions to the Israelites on the night they eat the Passover lamb: "Thus you shall eat it with your belt girded around, and your sandals on your feet" (Exodus 12:11). These powerful instructions bring about the miraculous and urgent liberation of the Israelites and Peter from bondage. It's truly

Gold vs Glitters

   In our search for happiness and fulfilment, we often find ourselves at a crossroads, faced with a choice between the temporary and the eternal, the superficial and the substantial.  The words of Matthew 16:26–27 serve as a powerful reminder: "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" The allure of glitter and material possessions is strong and tempting. They offer immediate gratification, but are fleeting and do not last. Our bodies are mortal and our time on earth is limited. We can accumulate wealth and possessions, but we cannot add a single moment to our lives. We should focus on pursuing gold, which has enduring value, instead of temporary glitters that distract us from what truly matters. As believers, we will face challenges in our journey. Even if the world goes against us, we must stay true to our faith in Jesus, as He is our ultimate reward. Without Him, we will feel empty, n

Rise above the crowd

The crowd is loud and persuasive. It can tempt us to follow its opinions and actions, even if they go against our values and goals. It can make us forget who we are and what we stand for. But we don’t have to succumb to the crowd. We can rise above it. The crowd is like a raging river. It can sweep us away from our true destination and leave us stranded in a place we don’t belong. But we can swim against the current. We can find our way back to our path. When we realize that we have made wrong choices that led us astray, we may feel scared or ashamed to turn around. But we must not hesitate. We must act quickly and decisively. It is better to lose some time or money than to lose ourselves. We can resist the crowd by asking ourselves some critical questions: Does this honour God? Is this in line with His will? Is this consistent with my purpose? Is this valuable? Does this reflect my principles? Will this compromise my integrity and character? Then we can adjust accordingly. Child of Go
