Mr. Loveless [ A Valentine's Day Special]

The bad isn’t a day dedicated to the celebration of pure love between a man and a woman. The bad is more in the 'mis-education' and misinterpretation of love we all have around us. Who knows love? Who knows what love is? That’s my question for today.

Money can’t buy love so the girl who interprets the expensive gadget he brings to her on a day like this as an ‘I Love you’ is just so wrong

Sex isn’t love so the boy looking for love in a one night stand or the strip house has gone the wrong way.

Love is beyond the physical eyes so all who say they fell in love because of what they saw need a more substantial base

So what is love?

It breaks my heart that the people, the one group that still roams this earth, that has a lot to say about love in every form,( in fact they’ve got a whole book that speaks about one crazy lover’s chase after his beloved ) rarely speak about it. Yes Christians, followers of Christ. Mention it and a lot would cringe or remain.

Now let’s get it straight

Love isn’t sex but sex could deepen the bond when the bond is first made. One night stands and all things out of marriage go out the window at this point.

It would save us a whole lot of mess and bloodiness when we realize in perspective that the love here is a representation a metaphor of the love there.

When we try to love without God we end up in a lot of sinking sands

Love has earned a very bad name thanks to lust, its fake product from the devil’s hand

If you follow God, you must tell new love stories thereby repainting the real image of love.

The solution isn’t to hide it all from our kids, from our friends and let them discover the false stories being told out there. And also the solution isn’t to get it all out there losing all restraints.

There are two extremes denying our ‘loveliness’ and sexuality or being driven by it and there is sure a space in between. God helps us find our rightful space in between.

Stop it!

We aren’t angels

We aren’t animals

We aren’t Mr. Loveless

We aren’t Mr. Lustful

We are humans

We are wired to love

To love well and not fall at the extremes, the God of Jesus is needed in these things.

 A Happy Love Day To You All :)

The Love Letters#3 : LOVE & WAR

You seem so far but still you are near
I have made my advances
I have told you how much I cherish you as a friend
But still we have to battle with the strife
What exactly would I do to make you love me
Tell me
I would do that exactly
But still you won’t
And yet we battle with strife
Mama always told me strife aint good
It would get in the way of unity
No unity, no success
Yet we battle still with strife
God also told me strife no good
It would get in the way of the anointing
No anointing, no power
The power we need to rock this world together
But still we battle with strife
No we battle with love
We battle with love cause in the end love always prevails
Yes I know love always prevail
But the one thing I don’t understand on your ground is . . .
Just one thing
One question rather
Why does this love always feels like a battlefield?
“Question” I can hear you say
Yes. Question for you to answer
Love and war
They only go together in our world
Our world at war
But still I thought the philosophers said something like. . .
When there is love, war ceases
Here we are. We broke the rules
Congratulations!
Or did we?
We are at war but I hear me say its love
At the last parade we had
I heard you say “better go get your rival”
I was late to respond before you stormed out
Or who stormed out?
Me or you? Can’t even remember
I was late to respond that YOU are my RIVAL
Love and war
I would choose war not to gun you down with harsh words
Nah . . . no way
I would choose war to break your walls
I would choose war to fight your battles for you
In the first place isn’t that what it means to love?
Bearing each other’s burden
I would choose war so I can have a chance to lay down my life
For who?
For you of course
Greater love has no man that he lay down his life
I would choose war because our true love is greatly opposed by forces unseen
Like I said, I would choose war to break your walls
Break your walls so we can stand together as one
Stand together to fight the resistance
Then we will be together at war.
Love and war
Get your guns ready
But not pointed at me this time
We have chosen love
No. its war
No. Its love
No. Its love and war
No war no love.
Love War?
Get your guns ready
Let’s war my love.

The Love Letters #1 [I Want to Say I Love You]

Image by PeaceandLove

 

I want to say I love you

I can’t

I want to say I love you

I won’t

It’s a strong statement

A friend once said unknowingly that it could destroy

Another said knowingly that it has the ability to build

Right now I’m torn

My mind keeps ringing

‘I love her’

‘I love her not’

I want to say I love you but why am I held betwixt decisions

Why am I at crossroads?

But I thought it’s the right thing to say

The right thing to say when boy meets girl

Boy says ‘hello’ to girl

Girl says ‘hi’ to boy

Boy buys girl some things

And girl says yes to boy

Hmm . . . .

I really want to

But . . . I heard someone whisper behind me last Sunday in church that Love is patient, it is self controlled. . .

I heard an impatient listener whisper back “hush it’s not that kind of love Apostle Paul refers to in the letter to the Corinthians. The love between a man and a woman is so different . . . .

I wanted to hastily add my own comments and concerns, and then I remembered ‘husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church’

Still I do want to say I love you

As Christ loves the church

Can I give up my status and position (that’s if I have one) for you?

As Christ loves the church

Can I indeed lay down my life for you?

As Christ loves the church

Can I give up my body to be nailed to a cross for you? . . . aargh that’s extreme and out of the way. I heard the death on the cross was the most excruciating and painful death then. Let me make it more modern. So I paraphrase.

As Christ loves the church

Can I give up my body to the electric chair for you?

As Christ loves the church

Can I endure the fires of hell for you?

As Christ loves the church

Can I endure persecution and false accusation for your sake?

As Christ loves the church

Can I take whips embedded with blade for you?

As Christ loves the church

Would I take you back if I found out you were cheating on me?

As Christ loves the church

Would I take you back if I found you in the most degrading immoral act?

As Christ loves the church

Would I endure your weakness?

As Christ loves the church

Would I take the pain to pick you up each time you fall?

As Christ loves the church

Would I wait for you?

As Christ loves the church

Would I love you as Christ love the church

I want to say I love you

But still, I’m torn!

It’s a sacred statement

It’s no ordinary statement

It has the power to build

It has the power to destroy

Words of the mouth

I want to say I love you

But still, I’m at CROSSROADS

And I know why I’m at crossroads

Because true love is at the foot of the cross

But I choose the right path

The path which leads me down CROSSROADS

The road to the cross

I wait because here, love is patient

I wait to say I love you

I would wait till my single lady has THE RING on her middle finger

But for now, I rather not say I love you

I rather show you I love you

As Christ loves the church
