THE GOD KIND OF LOVE

 There's no true love outside Christ, all that exists is infatuation, lust et cetera. People from all walks of life will always want something in return for their kind gesture. But true love does exist. It springs out of a

caring heart filled with grace and mercy. This the true love that bind man to God and as well man to man .This kind of a heart will always overlook whatever wrong done by any party. It is patient and enduring,understanding humanity in different dimension. It heals faster than any medicines and is devoid of dissimulation. What the world need is LOVE.
The true love is Agape. This is what Christ suffered for and it is the sure re-conciliating gift of God to humanity. The subject of love have been misunderstood with mere human affection arising from crush from which feelings are met to sprung into actions that could drastically leads to immorality among the SINGLES.

As  young adults, life should be centered on knowing God personally as well as to pleasing him at all costs. When God is fully the controlling factor in ones life, that could eventually lead to one pleasing him and not the opposite. Serving God at this end time with love in our heart could amount to his been pleased with us. love is not a function of our will but it is God working in us. leaving the loving life of God requires us to be save from sin by confessing and repenting from them. The Lust odd in the life of a true believer of God and so, one must make conscious effect to be saved by confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and totally leaving the entangling life of sin.

   THE BEAUTIFUL ATTRIBUTES THAT PLEASE GOD

One of the greatest fruit that the believer must bear is LOVE for it is that which is can serve as ladder to the throne of grace. The believer must know that service to God without love is utterly destructive as it could amount to nothing. This should be in his conscious mind that God is love and they that must please him must do so with Love in return. Love is that fruit that bring closer one to God. If one truly love God he wouldn't do anything to hurt him.

If one must glorify God with one's life, it should be centered on the agape love, for this is the fulfillment of the law 1cor 13:1-13.

Love is patient and kind; it's not jealous or conceited or proud, it's not ill-mannered, or selfish or irritable, it doesn't keeps record of wrongs.

It's Love, that ushered humanity to be engrafted with divine eternity. This our lord Jesus Christ did when he humbly gave himself to be the remedy for the lots of humanity.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life-John 3:16

Love shouldn't be just words and talk. It must be true love, which shows itself in action-1John 3:18.
This is Jesus example, those who don't know love are still under the power of death.
Christ's death is the true definition of what love is! we too then must learn to love and be self sacrificing and ought to give our lives for our brothers and sisters... 1John 3:16

                            GOD IS LOVE
Let love one another, because love comes from God, whoever loves, is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God for God is love ... 1John 4:7-8
As those who possess God's attributes, unconditional love should be highly uphold without dissimulation, presence and bluffing but should be seen in action devoid of eye services.
The concept of Love cannot be over-emphasized and exhausted, because it's life giving virtues and fruit, it's an endless commodity per se, and when rightly shown could amount to crown of life in the world next.
No wonder Paul in his letter to the brethren in Rome, make them fully abreast that God's love for mankind is inseparable.... Romans 8:35-who can separate us from the love of Christ, shall tribulations or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or perils, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our lord.
 From the above we see that God's love is Limitless, no infinity in his definition of love, this, we must imbibe to have a world of utopia.
Love for neighbors should be God Centered and Infinite.

Abraham-c demonstration of faith was birthed in his love for God that is why he staggered not at his expression of faith. Human relationships should be hinged on God's love and not the other way round, many have defined love to their taste.
It's love that gives the pauper, the physically challenged, hope.  It is love that make the well to do affects those in utter penury positively. This gives hope to the beggars at the street and children in the inner city.
Love costs less as compared to hatred. Those who keep malice throws stones at others which hurts them. Love expressions can be done in a little or colossal manner. In either case God should be the  the center purpose.Rejoice with them that rejoice without grudges, bitterness in the heart, let it be without murmuring.
Love looks not with the eyes but mind, it's compassionate, enduring and not reluctant to doing what is right.

Let's love lead in our hearts!

SELF KNOWLEDGE

                                   
Have you ever found yourself soliloquizing?, reminiscing through your entire life and you felt so badly, and you said to yourself why wasn't I created so handsome,beautiful,intelligent?et cetera, and you wailed: why me oh! God.
All of this will come to ruminate your mind when you have not find out who you are and what God has placed inside you, hence the why of self discovery; Self discovery is the most difficult of all human knowledge.Many live other persons lives because they don't know who they are.Do you want to stand out in the world?  Then take time to studying yourself. The first step to becoming better than what you are now is to get yourself  known. Self-discovery and self-knowledge are the stepping stones to self-conquest. It is quite difficult to conquer oneself, but once that is done, everything is conquered.

It is a fact that most people do not know themselves correctly and clearly , Perhaps no one has a thorough self-knowledge, but one can have acceptable degree of it. To some, real and genuine knowledge can be disturbing and humiliating, that is why some shy away from knowing who they really are.
A story was told of a couple which went to an art gallery museum, the man after giving a good compliments to creative arts done by people went to the other lane wherein lies a mirror in front of him, unknowingly to him, seeing  his look, he was filled with fury and called his wife to check it out, furiously he exclaimed "who did this painting?, how could they have kept such an ugly work here" the wife said, come on, don't be a fool, you are looking at the mirror.

This is clear truth that many are not happy with their external looks, and they say to themselves 'if am like this externally, how or what could the inside be like' they tends to shy away from looking within.
    Sometimes ago in a philosophy class, a guy was asked "who are you" at first he was  lost in his thought, not until, some few minutes later when he regain his conciousness, am Wellington, he replied! #One fact we have to clear here is that, you can have a beautiful and sweet sounding name, that does not really depicts your actual self,  I can all be an ugly and a bitter person that does not tell who I am and all that I can be; it does not describe me or reveal me. ''A NAME HARDLY REVEALS THE REALITY OF A PERSON"

Who am I, then? I may say, "I am a student, a teacher, a professor, a Pharmacist, a Doctor e.t.c, again my job is not myself, am not my work, am not the activities I does, though it may qualifies me to a certain degree. An anxiom says 'where we go and what we do advertise ourselves'  #One fact still remain a truth, that our real self cannot be totally measured by our activities......

   In each person, there is something of a mystery, something that cannot be easily disencrytpted, decipher and inexhaustible. Interestingly, we might say, I am my body, mind, will, heart, abilities, talents qualities, virtues, attitudes,  ambition (what I want to make of myself) and approaches.
 "what I am is God's gift to me,and what I make of myself is my gift to God"

If a holistic approach is not taken,it will be somewhat a hard and demanding task.......

 Below is a link for some astonishing facts:--STEPS TO DISCOVER ONESELF.
                      

 "KNOW THYSELF" is a popular axiom credited to Socrates

(A Greek philosopher) during a conversation that transpired between him and the delphic oracle(goddess), after telling socrates that he is the wisest man on earth, socrates replied her: All that I know is that I know Nothing, the best one could do is to know oneself, and he went further to say that " The unexamined life, is not worth Living" hence the essence of self-knowledge, self-awareness, self-examination and self-evaluation. 

********
To become what I am, I must be clear about what I want to become. Goals setting is absolutely necessary. I must know the target am shooting at..........

So many persons are not their real self, they play roles. whether we are or we are not, whatever....we are not an empty sham.
 A somewhat, trinity we are at some instances "the person one think one is, the person others think one is, and the one God knows one to be "...............
