LOVE IS ACTION


I don’t believe in mushy love that adds no value. 

I believe love means seeing value and giving value.

To love is to see the true instrinic value and worth in someone or something; and to engage the object of love with pure and unselfish benevolence.

Love is selfless and sacrificial benevolence.

Love is selfless devotion not senseless emotion.

I believe in providing practical and sensible value.

To love is to serve, teach, help, support, guide, provide for, protect, enhance and do good to. 

If I love you, I support, protect and promote you.

If I love you, I will tell you the truth with goodwill.

I don’t just go saying: “I love you.”

Many deceivers and manipulators do that.

They say that privately to you to deceive you.

They don’t openly admit unconditional love for you. 

They only tell you things in the secret to get you thinking that they really care when they only seek to manipulate you .

“Open rebuke is better than secret love.”

Better to give honest critique as feedback to help correct or guide a person aright than to claim you love them but only to gain their affection. 

“Love must be without pretense or insincerity.”

Do not love just with words but in daily practice.

Love is not just words but actions and attitudes.

Love is essentially a verb—that is, an action word.

As Shakespeare said: “Action is eloquence.”

À bientôt!

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f...

SUPPORT NOT SUPPLANT

Image
  Do we have genuine connections? I’ll give a quick definition of the word supplant. So I can dwell more on the concept of support. To supplant means to take the place of, to displace, to replace or to undermine.  To support is to be actively interested in and concerned for the success of a person or thing, for example: supporting a particular sports team. It also means to provide assistance to, or give approval, comfort, or encouragement to.  It is a product of goodwill and belief in someone or something.  Many of us support different football teams which we gladly and passionately refer to as “our teams”. Observe the enthusiasm, excitement and in some cases excessive zeal or fanaticism with which we promote, defend and celebrate people who do we not personally know, or an enterprise from which we may not even earn a single penny or cent—except for those who are into sports betting.  That’s the power of connection. That’s the power of camaraderie. That’s the po...

OPEN LETTER TO EX AND WARNING TO SINGLES

Image
WARNING TO SINGLES ASPIRING TO MARRIGE AND OPEN LETTER TO AN UNSCRUPULOUS EX To whom it may concern. Don’t marry a man whose leadership, integrity, vision, commitment to and love for you you don’t trust and afterwards rebel against his authority.  Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t meet your standards or requirements, who is not committed to you, who pretends a lot, is deceitful, inauthentic, lacks healthy self-image and is led by or under the control of third parties or public expectation. Marriage is for adults.  Don’t let your parents or peers choose your spouse for you when you are not really into that person or if your values don’t align. Don’t be desperate to get married. Take responsibility for your choice.  Don’t also pretend before marriage so that your target marital candidate chooses you.  If you have already defaulted in these areas and married wrongly, hold yourself accountable and don’t put the blame on one person. Do not deploy sinister schemes to make th...
