Hi everyone, I decided this to post this in this section a post about love and being kind to eachother.

It seems to me that sometimes something seems to be going on in the world for some people. Some people seem at unease with knots and hairline cracks. For any offer of help of consolation they will be nervous and not know your good intentions and be scared to accept them and not knowing that you want to do good to them. They may have been hurt by the poor experiences of others and not know how to trust a genuine human being. Some may be also seem scared or frightened to say something wrong and to be judged and fear judgement.

People are misreading others intent and shutting doors in some people’s faces of offer of help and perhaps being too proud to take the offer of help. Some people to are hurt for being judged for not being Christian enough by others and this is not good. People too can be self seeking and prioritising themselves over others and asking them to do things that may hurt their faith.

At times it may seem that a brother may be taking a brother up to the council for judgement, which we need to reject in our Biblical faith and lives as it tells us."Family members, including brothers, will betray and turn against each other due to conflict and persecution for the faith, as stated in (Matthew 10:21).

People I think have been hurt from the last many years of unsettlement in our world as well. They may feel that they do not know what is going on in the world. We sure have experienced many hardships.

With the Holy Spirit's guidance we also can importantly grow in the Fruits of the Spirit which, with these fruits we can use them to model ourselves on as Christians (Galatians 5: 22-23). The Fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.

Love seems missing somewhat in the world which is the missing ingredient for some though some they appear still full of love. For some they have lost their flavour and salt that we need as Christians. and with them it may seem seasonally bitter at times. The pain of the afflicted resides on us in sways whilst God’s grace is on us as well, God spirit gently soothes us. Remember this God’ is the creator and we are in his capable hands as always.

We need to see love again on each our bodies and speak it.

You are loved by God and God's actions show his love for us (John 3:16). God giving us his Beloved Son was a display of the affection and his love towards us and the link remains there.

Let us be loving to each other though with Jesus’ Christ’s spiritual law and values on us and resting on our souls. Let’s pick up our banner and remember to do good to mankind always in an unrested world and our vows are with God, who always does good.

Hold on in sorrows and doing good always your aim. You may fall naturally as humans at times but you tried and try again, being angry for a moment we do as humans which is written in Psalm 30, Only Jesus is the Perfect One and Complete one who will come again (1 Corinthians 13:10). Remain upright and righteous as Job till the end.

Love again, start small and remember your family network and the true things in your life. Smile again and give each others blessing and grace for being human in a difficult time.

At the end remember it is Jesus Christ-the right gatekeeper with the keys to heaven and the door to eternal life. Your magnet is to heaven where you are linked and placed but are on earth now.

I want to offer you a rose and the light the reflection to shine on you. You can speak of your sorrows to if you need to and gently rock to ease them and your sorrows will ease. Jesus told us to do unto others as you would do unto yourself and love God above all as our first commandment. Jesus also asked us to fogive others and to work on the resolution of disputes so that God can forgive you(Luke 6:27).

Do not hold onto petty things and unecessary things of worry as the Bible tells us. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow (Matthew 6:34) (Hebrews 13, 1-8, 15.16) " My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14, 27-29).

I remind you in all this- Hold on, things are going as they should in the world and you are where you are supposed to be as we know (Acts 17:28).

Remember to Trust in his understanding and not your own as the Book of Proverbs gently remind us (Proverbs 3:5-6) "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths."

Remember to in all difficulties the bearer of the Yoke and pain of sin is Jesus Christ. Give yours to him and let go of yours and walk to him to be in his light and love on your bridge to him. Your face will shine. A new you is his promise in him always as the Book of Corinthians tells us-

" Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" To a world under distress. I wish you all health and love and sustenance by God’s power and divine grace (2 Corinthians 5:17).

You are bought free through Christ alone. Through Jesus Christ with the remission and washing away of our sins we can have God's grace and mercy. Agape is the unconditional love God gave us by giving us his Son for a way for a way for us to eternally connect us to him.

God's promise for you remains as always written for you-
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) and remember God has plans to as well prosper you in this world as spoken in Jeremiah (Jeremiah 29:11-13).

On that rocky boat to life eternal. "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; When you pass through the waters, I will be with you" This is a passing through (Isaiah 43).

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it."( Song of Solomon 6:7).

In this time why not surround yourself in good things for his remembrance to and be patient for now and remain steadfast

Attend church to if you can to withstand affliction and sorrows.

This article by CS Lewis who was a Christian is a good article to read on the different types of love that we have.

Thank you everyone for your kind replies.

i want to add these to-
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

If somebody wrongs you Jesus told us to forgive them seventy-seven times" (Matthew 18:21-22) so that God can forgive your sins through Jesus Christ.

God the Father divine love to his prophet Jeremiah showed that God loves us with only the best intentions towards his children (Jeremiah 31:3l).

Today, love is overused and undervalued at the same time. We love everything from various foods to cars, from movies to retailers, from people to God himself. We may not consciously distinguish one use of love from another, in part because our speech is becoming more and more informal, but ...


When an atheist repents and accepts Christ, he or she receives the Holy Spirit and thereby has the power to love (Romans 5:5), but becoming rid of sin is a lifelong learning process called sanctification.

No one achieves moral perfection in this life (Phil. 3:12), but no one who lacks divine love will reap eternal life with God (Gal. 6:7-8). Thus, a person who claims to be godly but who is behaving in an ungodly (unloving, untruthful) manner may be in one of the following categories:

a. a normally loving person observed during a rare moment when he/she acted uncharacteristically (Phil. 3:12-16),

b. an immature Believer, who is making progress–you should have known him/her a year ago! (1Cor. 3:1-3, Eph. 4:11-15)

c. a truthseeker who has not yet learnedthe correct interpretation of God’s Word (1Cor. 6:9-11, Eph. 5:8-9), or

d. a pseudo-Christian (Matt. 7:21, 1John 2:19), who may affirm morality while rejecting its divine rationale.

e. an apostate (Heb. 6:4-6, 10:23-39), who once believed but became blasphemous or foolish and ship-wrecked their faith (1Tim. 1:19-20)

Thank you for posting the above, I put it in quotes as it was not showing the reply. I put it in quotes to make it easier to see. Thank you for posting again and this topic of love is making me to make some strides on healing hurt in my life by applying more love particularly. I am so glad that I am doing this.

The Greek has 3 or 4 words for love from what I know, the one most often used in the New Testament translates pretty much to- "Seeking the highest good of the other person, and doing what is possible to do to meet that need".

Thank you everyone for your kind replies.

i want to add these to-
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

God the Father divine love to his prophet Jeremiah showed that God loves us with only the best intentions towards his children (Jeremiah 31:3l).

therefore ask Father, Daddy, PaPa to install 1 Cor 13:1-4 in you too, then see verses 8-12, subside and just be in love as God is in love with us all first in verse 13, forever. To see to Get off the milk and into the meat talked of in Hebrews 5:12- Chapter 6 for us to grow up and see the Law as good for us to abide in and not be under it anymore
Upholding it, thank you lord

True love is a gift from God Father of in risen Son Jesus for us all to choose to believe God in
Then receives this love of Son that forms us all as new from God for us, to love all without reason, no more needing that, not loving just a few, anymore. Then, one, anyone that responds to "God loves you", you, and all people to see how to let go of troubles we have all been in and could be again.
To see Romans 2:1-4, Romans 14:1-4, John 8 and react in trust to God to get us all through it all in love and mercy given to us all to choose to believe God or not in it, without having to figure it out anymore. How freeing, thank you
