At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet
Plato

Despite the fact that we live in imperfect world, isn’t it wonderful to know that we serve a God whose Love for us and Will for our lives is perfect.

He knows what is best for us even when we don’t know what’s best for ourselves. He loves us even when we don’t have an ounce love for ourselves. He covers and protects us in the midst of our disobedience and rebelliousness. God loves us unselfishly and unconditionally… flaws and all. How wonderful it is to be loved by Him.

The great Philosopher Lao Tzu said that being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

If only we could learn to be more like Him. If only we could learn to love more like Him and find a way to treat one another more kindly. Oh how much better we would treat one another. Oh how much better this world would be.

Trust God when you can’t trace God. He’s there. Even when you think He’s not. He hears you. Even when you think he doesn’t. God answers all prayers…even when sometimes the answer is no.

Nevertheless… no matter the answer, regardless the situation, no matter the outcome… Always remember that a delay is not necessarily a denial.

Please don’t give up on God.

For He will NEVER give up on you.

Prayer for Love - An Excerpt from Don Miguel Ruiz's book entitled - The Four Agreements

This is an excerpt of an extremely inspiring and motivational piece of masterfully written literature. One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever read. Far too beautiful to keep to myself. My gift to you: We are going to share a beautiful dream together- a dream that you will love to have all of the time. In this dream you are in the middle of a beautiful, warm sunny day. You hear the birds, the wind, and a little river. You walk toward the river. At the edge of the river is an old man in meditation and you see that out of his head comes a beautiful light of different colors. You try not to bother him, but he notices your presence and opens his eyes. He has the kind of eyes that are full of love and a big smile. You ask him how he is able to radiate all of that beautiful light. You ask him if he can teach you to do what he is doing. He replies that many, many years ago he asked the same question of his teacher. The old man begins to tell you his story: “My teacher opene...

Emotional Servitude ©

Bondage is - subjection to external influences and internal negative thoughts and attitudes  W. Clement Stone The ties that bind. I never really gave much thought to that statement as a youngster. However; as I am now an adult and have matured somewhat, I truly understand the importance of establishing and maintaining enlightening, healthy, positive, supportive and uplifting relationships – albeit formal or informal. I personally have had people come and go through my life like commuters through Grand Central Terminal. Some of them leaving an imprint on my life that will last a lifetime while others have barely registered a blip on my emotional radar. All of them nonetheless helping to mold me into the man I am destined to become. However, I’m still a work in progress. We all are. In some shape, form or fashion we all are incomplete to a certain extent. I think that’s the way the Creator intended it. To stave off complacency. To keep us hungry and ever evolvin...

My Other Love Letter ©

A relationship is placing one’s heart and soul in the hands of another while taking charge of another in one’s soul and heart  Kahlil Gibran "I love you. I love you for all you are to me. I love you because of who you are, and what you represent. I know that people use the word love so loosely these days. Sometimes with little to no meaning behind it …… just Lip Service. However, I assure you that when I say I love you, I mean it. I never thought that I would ever find this kind of love. I didn’t think that this kind of love even existed. The very thought of you makes me smile. The sound of your voice makes my heart skip a beat. When I see you it’s like the first time every time. I love the way you treat me…. like royalty. I know that there have been those that have come along and told you that they love you but treated you so horribly. I believe that it is because they didn’t have a clue as to what exactly they had in you. They did not know your value. They were so...
