love – : Tests Of A Man :

How heavy is this glass of water? Twelve ounces? Sixteen ounces? The absolute weight of the glass actually doesn’t matter, it depends on how long you hold on to it. If you hold it for a minute, nothing happens. If you hold it for an hour, your arm will begin to ache. If you hold it all day long, your arm will get numb, and paralyzed. While the weight of the glass has not changed, but the longer you hold on to it, the heavier it becomes. The stresses and worries of life are like this glass of water. If you think about them for a little while, there is no problem. If you think about them for a little bit longer, then it begins to hurt. If you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed and incapable of doing anything. Always remember…put the glass down.

G’morning all! To arrive at truth you must exit the road of illusion. By nature we are all creatures of habit. We become content with driving down the same highway of life passing the same scenery. From time to time we catch a glimpse of a sign telling of another reality but the unfamiliar brings about apprehension, so we stay where we are. Answer the beckon of truth. #BeDynamic or be forgotten!

Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.

1Timothy 1:13, 15-16

The test of man is the fight that he makes.
The grit that he daily shows.
The way that he stands upon his feet.
And takes life’s numerous bumps and blows.

A coward can smile,
When there’s not to fear.
And nothing, his progress bars.
But it takes a man to stand and cheer.
While the other fellow stars.

It isn’t the victory after all,
But, the fight that a brother makes.
A man when driven against the wall,
takes the blows of fate.

With his head held high.
Bleeding, bruised, and pale!!
Is the man who will win, fate defied,
For he isn’t afraid to fail.

“Work is love made visible. And if you can’t work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work with joy.” ~Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

My initial response to this quote was to be appreciative of the employment that you currently have, and even if you don’t love what you do, do it with love. Realize the importance of what you do. Your job is not just about you, it’s about the people you provide that good/service for and more important your family. You provide the support to feed, clothe and even nurture.

But I’d like to go a little deeper than that. “Work is love made visible”. I have been coming across relationship issues but it seems that what is missing is that work that it takes to show the love. When we love someone, you work like hell to make sure that you succeed in showing that love. Then after a while, we get lazy and “fall back”. When I say work, I’m talking about the little things that say you care. Giving a hug, peck on the cheek, providing a meal, can be really simple actions but the most important aspect of this is where these actions come from. There is a difference in doing something out of duty, and doing something out of love. The sincerity is not displayed in the action itself but in the way it is presented.

Most people don’t equate the words work and love but they are a direct result of each other. When you love something/someone you show it through the work you put in to maintain that relationship to get better and more successful. But on the flip side of that is you’ll know whether someone loves you by the work that they put in. So the next time you say or think you love someone, think about the work that you have put in to display that love…now what do you think? Be blessed, #bedyanmic
