What can I say About Love?

September 27th, 2009 by jenrockonbikers

What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies. So many legends surround this emotion, from the goddess Athena and Helen of Troy to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.Love comes in so many different levels, that it doesn’t appear to be the same emotion at all, but it is. There is so much to love, that it will be hard to put into this simple essay. It can tear people apart and make us do irrational things to bringing together entire nations. What can this emotion not do? It’s hard to tell, but there is a lot it can.This emotion, bring tears to our eyes when something happens to our family members, friends, and pets. When we feel love ripped from us, as in death or being spurned by another, we do things we wouldn’t normally do, such as go on violent rampages, or mourn to the extent that our loved ones have to watch us constantly to make sure we don’t try anything like suicide. Some can move on, always remembering the lost loved one after a while, but others can not let go. These are the ones that need our love and support the most.There are so many levels to love, that I can only express a few of them here. These are the ones we see most in life. Friendship starts this list off. Yes, it doesn’t seem like it, but we do feel love towards our friends, this is what helps us get along so well, and why we miss them when we don’t see our friends for a long time. It’s also why we hold certain friends over others no matter what happens. Sometimes, the bond between friends deepens to the point where a stronger bond of love is made, making them family.Another level of love, are for our siblings and other family members. Even though we do things to our family members, and sometimes we don’t like some of our family, that bond is still there. It’s this family bond level of love that brought about the phrase, blood is thicker than water. We will do things for our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and children before we would even consider doing them for anyone else. Many wars have been started because of this family level, brother avenging brother or father, father protecting his wife and children, or even vice versa. This simple family bond can even extend to include our pets, amazingly enough, and that is a good thing.A third level to love, is the bond that brings man and woman together. This level is among the strongest of them all. It is this level of love that has brought together kingdoms into nations in the past, and ended many great wars. It’s is also for the love of a woman that has started a few of our well-known wars, like the Trojan Wars of ancient times. It’s brought together families that have argued for years and years, such as in the Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet. Even though the two mentioned killed themselves in the end, it still brought their families together.The last mentionable level of love is that bond between a mother and her children. There is no stronger, nor will there ever be. This bond starts from the very first tiny fluttering of movement and never ends, even after death of the child. A mother protects her children in the name of love, and directs them through life using it as the example to follow. Well, at least it should be. It’s because of her children a mother will work at a job she hates, just to make sure they have everything they could ever want or need.The phrase, love makes the world go round is very true. It’s is our driving force, for what ever reason it may be. Poems, plays, and legends can only briefly touch the true meaning of love. We can only feel what that meaning is, and express it in ways only we can understand towards another. The true question we should be asking is not, what is life, but what is love.What is love? I don’t know, but I’ll do what I can to express it to God, my family and friends, and to every single pet I have or ever will own in the best possible way that I can.

LEADERS vs. FOLLOWERS

September 27th, 2009 by jenrockonbikers

When leaders make a mistake, they say, “I was wrong.”When followers make mistakes, they say, “It wasn’t my fault.”
A leader works harder than a follower and has more time;a follower is always “too busy” to do what is necessary.
A leader goes through a problem;a follower goes around it and never gets past it.
A leader makes and keeps commitments;a follower makes and forgets promises.
A leader says, “I’m good, but not as good as I ought to be;”a follower says, “I’m not as bad as a lot of other people.”
Leaders listen;followers just wait until it’s their turn to talk.
Leaders respect those who are superior to them and tries to learn something from them;followers resent those who are superior to them and try to find chinks in their armor.
Leaders feel responsibile for more than their job;followers say, “I only work here.”
A leader says, “There ought to be a better way to do this;”followers say, “That’s the way it’s always been done here.”

“KEEP YOUR FORK”

September 27th, 2009 by jenrockonbikers
There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things “in order,” she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. The woman also requested to be buried with her favorite Bible. Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
“There’s one more thing,” she said excitedly. “What’s that?” came the pastor’s reply. “This is very important,” the woman continued. “I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”
The pastor stood looking at the woman, not knowing quite what to say. “That surprises you, doesn’t it?” the woman asked. “Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the pastor. The woman explained. “In all my years of attending church socials and potluck dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, ‘Keep your fork.’ It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance! So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder “What’s with the fork?’. Then I want you to tell them: “Keep your fork - the best is yet to come”.
The pastor’s eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She KNEW that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the woman’s casket and they saw the pretty dress she was wearing and her favorite Bible and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard the question “What’s with the fork?” And over and over he smiled. During his message, the pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. The pastor told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you, oh so gently, that the best is yet to come.

*Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care.

GOD AND LOVE

September 11th, 2009 by jenrockonbikers

Finding true love is finding God. God is the only one who can love you in a perfect way.But most of the time you forget about God and Jesus Christ, so it means that you forget about love too.

When you want to have a good relationship always put God and Jesus Christ at the center of what ever you are going to do with your love.

You may not notice that everything we do God knows about it. God is watching us from a distance. God is the wind beneath our wings. I play this inspirational songs - From a distance and Wind beneath my wings - , every time i am sad.

God must be really watching us from a distance and He exactly know what you feel inside, He wants you to go back to Him. He can teach you every little thing you ever wanted in life.

When you are successful God is the wind beneath your wings yet you could hardly recognized God existence in your life. When you don’t recognized God - it feels like the whole world has no rules at all but then people will start to dislike you, then you wonder why.

Learn to speak the God’s way so people will really love you. God is the way, the truth and life. Without God you end up with a sad story, problems for your entire life. Search ye first the kingdom of God and all his rightiousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

LIVING WITH PURPOSE

August 4th, 2009 by jenrockonbikers

Living in purpose is the only way to really live. Everything is just existing.

         Most people struggle with three basic issues in life. The first is identity: “Who am i?” The seocnd is importance: “do i matter?” The third is impact: “What is my place in life?” The answers to all three questions are found in God’s Five purpose for you.

        In the Upper Room, as Jesus was concluding his last day of ministry with His disciples, he washed their feet as an example and said, “Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”  Once you know that God wants you to do, the blessing comes in actually doing it. As we come to the end of our forty-day journey, now that you know that God’s purpose for your life, you will be blssed if you do them!

       This probably means you will have to stop doing some other things. There are many “good” things you can do with your life, but God’s purposes are the five essentials you must do. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get distracted and forget what is the most imporatant. It’s easy to drift away from what matters most and slowly get off course. To prevent this, you should develop a purpose statement for your life and then review it regularly.

WHAT MATTERS MOST…

July 19th, 2009 by jenrockonbikers

life is all about love.

because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love. it is in loving that we are most like him, so love is the foundation of every command he has given us: “the whole law can be summed up in this one command: `love others as you love yourself `”

learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. it runs counter to our self-centered nature. thats why we’re given a lifetime to learn it. of couse, God wants us to love everyone, but he is particularly concerned that we learn to love others in his family. as we’ve already seen, this is the second purpose of your life.

why does God always insist that we give special love and attention to other believers?why do they get priority in loving? Because God wantshis family to be known for its love more than anything else. JEsus said love for each other - not our doctrinal beliefs - is our greatest witness to the world.
