From Fear To Love

For Those who are in Love, the expression of Love does not seems too difficult to express. But for those who are about to be in Love, there are some area which we fear to express. For those who does not know what is Love, they do not even want to talk about it. And for those who fear to Love can't understand what the Lord's Love is all about. Little that you know the bible is also known as the book of Love.

Ray and Nancy Kane in their book states that

Each of us senses within that we were created to be in relationship with others and not to be left alone. When we love, we are willing to reach out to the lonely and brokenhearted


Thus, we are willing to provide that special touch, word of affirmation, or act of kindness. The Question is why do we fear? The only answer I had is probably we fear of rejection or we experience the pain of rejection so we never want to be involve again. We all need assurance and acceptance from one another. Sometimes it was given deliberately and sometimes it was implied.

When I think of the Theme for the month " Fishers of Men" I questioned my heart do I even love to seek and save the lost. My fear of rejection often stop me from going all the way. I was reading about the criminal who was sentence to death penalty together with Jesus.

One ask Jesus to save himself and the criminal and the other ask for pardon and for Jesus to remember him. Fear can produce 2 kind of result it either make you feel angry and upset when someone does'nt do anything you wish, or you will be so humble to know that you don't deserve the love from others but you can only beg for it.

Hm...cool huh thus, a little insights to ponder about our love for God, his Kingdom the lost and our family. Lets ponder.

JESUS never fear to love us, even love those peole who doesn't love HIM. This is what i notice about JESUS when ponder about HIS's unconditional love. I believe if JESUS doesn't love us till that point, unconditional, HE don have to die on the cross, but because HE love, HE choose to die for you & me.

A MEN!

JESUS, help us to love other like how YOU love me, the powerful but simple; unconditional love..

So many times, i read books written about love.. and yet, it still amazes me!

when i was still single (still am!), i often ponder about this topic of love. How does love actually work? How does love communicates?

in this era of wireless techno, men often boasted about their lastest discovery of the lastest technology.. but little did they aware that God have oredi created the BEST wireless technology wayyyy before time was even born.

ladies & gen, i give u...

LOVE!!!

Love - the most powerful wireless, batteryless, distanceless, priceless & even timeless entity ever existed.

why? how can it exist? unbelievable?

well.. simple!

God is LOVE!!

ponder no more, let's throw our arms to God's love that..

warms us so deeply when we are in coldness..
strenthen us so mightily when we are discouraged..
guides us so purposefully when we are lost..
heals us so miraculously when we are ill-bedded..
grants us peace when we are anxious or just frustrated about life..

and the best of all..
God's love will transform all of us..
to be welcomed into his dwelling place when our lives end one day..

Love - a true beauty never known until you truly touch someone's heart.
