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

The Power of the Tongue

In the quest for a life filled with joy and the treasure of good days, one biblical wisdom implores us to master the art of speech.  “For he who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” (1 Peter 3:10-11). The tongue, though small, wields a force mightier than any weapon of mass destruction. It can ignite a wildfire of destruction or breathe life into the ashen fields of despair.  “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.” (James 3:5-6). We are all architects of our destiny, crafting the   of our lives one word at a time. Our words can be the balm that heals or the arrow that wounds the hearts of friends, neighbours, colleagues, and loved ones. We must recognize that a ‘slip of the tongue’ is not merely a misstep but a call to mindfu

Habits Vs Needs: Why Habits are not Needs.

-
Image
Human behaviour is a complex subject that can be broken down into habits and needs. Habits are actions that we perform regularly and easily, and they can result from repeated actions or routines. These habits can be either positive or negative but are not essential to our survival. On the other hand, needs are the essential requirements for our well-being and survival. These include physiological needs like food and water, safety needs such as shelter and security, and emotional needs like love and belonging. Sometimes, we confuse habits with needs and justify indulging in bad habits as a necessity. This is a common defence mechanism that allows us to avoid responsibility and claim powerlessness in the face of change. However, we can distinguish between habits and needs by observing others who thrive without the habits we consider indispensable. This realization can be both freeing and challenging, as it invites us to reassess our behaviours and the control we believe they have over us
