The problem of love

The feeling of love can not be seen, rationalised nor measured - no one can actually prove love exists. Yet one would struggle to deny it’s existence based either on one’s own experience or the account of others.

John 11:25

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.

Right time

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.

- Romans 5:6

He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.

- 1 Timothy 2:6

Isaiah 43:2

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.

the flames will not consume you.

Ecclesiastes 11:4

Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.

Isaiah 58:5-7

You humble yourselves by going through the motions of penance, bowing your heads like reeds bending in the wind. You dress in burlap and cover yourselves with ashes. Is this what you call fasting?

Do you really think this will please the Lord?

“No, this is the kind of fasting I want:

Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;
lighten the burden of those who work for you.
Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people.
Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless.
Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

Romans 12:2

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

John 12: 45-46

For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.

I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.
