Love's Invitation To Love--The Ultimate Valentine's Day Gift

Ranked #774 in Relationships & Family, #100,767 overall

WELCOME & Thank You For Stopping By!

While kicking around ideas for this lens, I furiously labored to find something original and unique. I searched through sizzling-hot personal love letters, stacks of poetry from authors who have experienced all forms of love--from the deceived & mocked to the victorious conquerors and captives of love. I even considered expounding on several tender and amusing text messages from friends and loved ones on my iPhone.

Then I thought of writing about Valentine's Day, itself, but that seemed too easy...and overdone. Besides, most who are interested have already heard the story about the priest after whom this day was named...have you heard that story...the one about the priest? It's a tasty slice of history if you'd like to read about it after we are done here, okay? :-D! That is, after we have finished our search for Real True Love

All that pondering led me to begin thinking about love itself...what a concept?! What's the real meaning of It? I mean, we have sooo very many! Where and when did it start? Where did this idea originate? That's when I had a huge "Ah-Ha" moment, which tenderly compelled me to dive, "heart-first", into one of the most surprisingly delightful research journeys of my life. I hope that you will not only just enjoy the fruits of this joyous labor, but you will be made free by it---freed to recognize real True Love... So that he fakers & phonies will never l deceive you again.

WARNING: The journey may seem long/tedious, but keep asking yourself if discovering real True Love is worth the effort?

How would you like to be embraced...no, engulfed by the most gentle, powerful, fulfilling, intimate, passionate Lover? Completely submerged and subdued, yet free..a freedom that words can not sufficiently explain? Smothered in unconditional kindness and mercy? Intrigued and completely captivated by your lover--this Lover's wit & humor...you know, that kind of Lover who can force a deep rich heart-smile from you although you may be destitute, bereft, hurting and depressed outwardly? A Lover who is strong enough to help you in any circumstance, and defend you when you are at your lowest ebb? A Lover who is comprehensive, dependable and tangible, yet surreal? How would you respond to a lover that you could not possibly "out-love" in a million lifetimes? Would you like to experience this Love from your Lover? Do you want to know the best ways to say "I Love you"? Or a great Valentine's Day gift Idea for your boyfriend or girlfriend? Would you like something special to do on Valentine's Day that won't cost you a cent? If your answer is yes, then you are humbly invited to explore with me the depths of True Love in "Love's Invitation To Love--The Ultimate Valentine's Day Gift."

BUT WE ALREADY KNOW LOVE & HAVE DEFINED IT!

...Really? Have We Perceived Love' s Full Meaning Within Our "Definition"?

If we were to ask a dozen people to define love, we would most likely get a dozen different answers! Most of those answers are "relative". In other words, "anything referring or related to the subject matter; which may or may not thoroughly encompass the selected topic, according to what we desire it to be, while being in whatever social, cultural, or economic mood we're in at the moment!"--my own special paraphrase, have some fun creating one of your own :-D! Whether our subject/topic is true or not, becomes irrelevant, because Truth is now thought to be "relative" too...What in heaven's name...? Isn't today's use of the word "relative" pure and utter chaos to our understanding as popularized in it's adjective form? Especially when used to describe something so precious and life-giving as Love? It's really no wonder that the adjective use of "relative" didn't become popular until the late 1700s!

Okay, let's dig a little deeper than just canvassing all willy-nilly...you with me?

Leading expert research scientists in the study of Love, report that "what we perceive as Love", is simply an inducible released mixture of a series, of a certain set of chemicals to the brain's pleasure center. Chemicals like pheromones, dopamine, and nor-epinephrine which helps to create those wonderful "feelings of well being." They also conclude that "Love" is no different than eating large quantities of chocolate (which has the same effect). Is that all there is to it?!

Why argue science? Whoopee! so we discovered a few chemical cause & effect patterns and how they effect our brain...Oh my! But that does not explain "why" nor the "extent of connection" to our emotions--along with zillions more questions that this proposed "conclusion" offers. However, if that conclusion settles the matter of Love for you, beloved, then you are on the wrong lens (I am the original choc-a-holic, and understand completely)! I've got the perfect lens for you though...go see my buddy, Valentine Chocolate Gifts here at Squidoo...that lens is chocolate "hook-up" heaven: it will make you want to slobber on your computer...I'm telling you the truth! Go eat a bunch of chocolate & call it Love! However, if this "conclusion" leaves you feeling a little more hopeless inside, read on--you can indulge your sweet-tooth a little later_ :-D!

And precious evolutionists tend to sweat bullets, to give a plausible explanation of True Love! In a nutshell, they say that when we evolved from the primordial ooze, men & women simply lived together for the benefit of their offspring. That sounds pretty good, until you start digging a little deeper into the Darwin's theory. Some have become so jaded and frustrated, that they have stopped believing in True Love period. They happily embrace sex as True Love, with seemingly no regrets...but--if that's all True Love is, then America should be the happiest place on earth!

Do this: Humbly ask a staunch evolutionist how & when did human reproduction actually start? And watch the veins start to pop out of their head as they try to explain! We all know where babies come from right? Okay so, Mr. Evolutionist, you would like us to believe that both the male & female functioning genitalia "formed by accident or coincidence" or in Darwinian terms, "by the process of natural selection"...within 30 to 40 years of each other--- then within another obscure time-frame the two found each other in a vast expanse of this primordial ooze that overlapped both land and sea---they happily"discovered" that those parts fit nicely together!---And in the next 2-5 months the female ate all of the evolved growth she could find, while her stomach stretched to the size of an extra-large pumpkin--- and in a total of about 9 months the screaming, panting female squat & "spit" whatever it was out on the land (or did she give birth in the ooze?), no doubt to the absolute horror of the male!--- And this process repeated itself in different parts of the primordial ooze all over the world--And all this happened in the midst of ravenous dinosaurs?! Okay...so...what is and, where is True Love in this scenario? I mean, hasn't Love been around for at least as long as we have...Is that fair to say?

(***NOTE: I am not interested in hurting anyone's feelings here, but I am a seeker of Love and Truth...are you?) We need to sidetrack here a moment, so please bear with me :
The primary technique used by the United States Secret Service to combat counterfeiting is to concentrate all of their time, efforts, talents, and resources on studying REAL US currency. There are too much fake/phony American currency to study all of it...so trained agents concentrate on learning the look, feel, smell, sound (as it ruffles, folds, wadded), and even taste of the real deal! There are times, however, when studying a counterfeit masterpiece is necessary. Why? Because it could potentially fool the best-trained observer and cause severe economic damage if allowed to continue unchallenged! ! If we perform such vigilance for money, shouldn't we at least do the same for True Love too? Also, we innately understand that if there is a fake, then there must be an original! (Say this out-loud 5 times. "If there's a fake, there IS an original!"...keep that in mind as we dig for the True Love) Let me say that again slowly...It is impossible---to contrive a phony---unless--- there is--- an original. So how do we discover the original amongst the pretenders of True Love? I'm glad you asked...are you up for a thinking quest :-D? This might just blow your mind...

Searching for True Love in sex, pornography, shopping, science, technology, evolution, or even religion...we simply will not find it there. In addition. a complete answer to "what Love is", let alone "where to find it", depends on the vocabulary and/or charisma of the speaker or writer. They may use words to convey a limited understanding or experience with True Love that's usually "subjectively relative", yet exquisitely articulated--12-syllabled, mind-numbing, barbiturate induced monsters--wielded more for the speaker's ego, than the hearer's understanding...which often times scintillates our own intellect (we pretend), as we stroke our chins (and try hard not to appear just dumb as dirt) as we slowly proclaim, "I see...!" -- NO...WE DON'T!!! If we did, then there wouldn't be this universal confusion about True Love! Can we all just lay down all our toys and gadgets, our egos and what we think we know...get in our quiet place, and at least become that honest with ourselves...just for a little while, please? Are you still with me? Then let's move on...

(***A SPECIAL LOVING NOTE: To the beloved Hindu, Buddhist, New Age Seekers of Love and all practitioners of "Prana" (whatever it is named in your culture--through "Life Force Energies", "cycles of life", "mother earth", "the universe", "god inside" and etc.) regarding this writing---You openly acknowledge the "love/power/or energy" you access, but what of it's source? How long would it take for you to walk away (taking all that you are with you) from something that accessed your love/power/energy at will, renamed it for their own selfish benefits and/or culture, claimed it as uniquely their own, and denied your existence? I wonder...

THE GREATEST DECEPTION OF ALL...

Self-Deception!

The blind leading the blindWe have to really deceived ourselves into believing some of the phony conjecture we hear about Love...I mean really? (isn't the primary purpose and implementation of deception is to avoid the Rule of Authority? So who or what are we trying to avoid?) We follow wealth, health, celebrities, the media, any leader, or self-proclaimed prophet in a $1500 suit or anybody who appears to have more than us...ANYTHING, except Love. We truly have been "looking for Love in all the wrong places." Could it be that somehow we just "know" there is an Authority to evade? For example like the way we say that we "just know" our own gender? And how do we prove it to someone else? I mean, we ask transgender people to do it all the time, why not us? Ouch...Still wanna take this journey to find True Love?

Yet evolutionists and scientist reluctantly concede this little known, fact: That human babies who are fed properly, but not held or touched during the first few months of life, slowly retreat into the fetal position and DIE! To rephrase for clarity--These inhumane experiments discovered that human babies die FROM THE LACK OF LOVE?! They originally thought it was simply the infant's "perception" of Love expressed through contact (our sense of touch). They, in turn, defined "touch" as a lack of skin stimuli to the nervous system where the brain "perceives" that the body has been "touched") . Experiments were conducted on humans in Germany (during the Holocaust), monkeys and other mammalian creatures, for the purpose of accelerating the "Darwinian process of natural selection" in a genetically engineered superior species. These types of experimental processes are scientifically called "eugenics". The purpose? To create a species of genetically superior super-soldier who would obey without question and without the emotional element of compassion when ordered to kill. Too strange to be true to you? I began my research at the US Holocaust Museum I invite you to do the your own search--maybe I missed something.

It was first thought that perhaps the lack of stimulation to the epidermis (outer-most portion of the skin) was the direct cause of death. However, w/in the past 25 years, a revised form of the same genetic-testing resumed---by means of artificial intelligence, overlapped with synthetic flesh-like skin, simulated the sense of "touch"---sadly, it produced the same outcome as all previous testing--Death. (Conducted in China, Africa, and Russia, where too few people care about children, especially children born with HIV. When scientist without "conscience", determine to prove something--any amount of loss-of-life is placated as "acceptable for the greater good".) Although these scientific methodologies, which laboriously depend on "critical thinking" (see the rule of logic) to prove "validity" or truthfulness are presumed failures, the general consensus among them strongly indicates this conclusion: that there seems to have been "a lack of transfer---of-an-as-yet-to-be-determined/unidentified---VITAL ENERGY" to human infants. Despite necessary nutritional intake (food is not enough) "...until the candidate's appetite began to wane shortly before death."

Those same evolutionary, "process of natural selection" ideologies have never died. They are pimped to us daily (i.e. "Rule The Air") with the sweet delusional icing of controlling our world, everyone and everything in it... except self. We've been sold this fare as absolute Truth...we vote for more with our dollars, eat it up and licked the bowl clean...self-deception.

As a matter of reference, history bears out that fact in many instances...like this one; the origins of Planned Parenthood are heavily rooted in "eugenics" in accordance with founder, Margret Sanger's, "world view" or belief. A belief that she deceived herself into thinking was Truth from the Nazi era. Her truth fueled her need to feel special and superior---it fed her ego, resources and money began to flow into her coffers serving as confirmation that she was right and righteous in her cause, the upper-class wealth "reasoned" and agreed, applauded and invested in her self-deluded vision (because this kind of truth needs support to stand). Soon the media began covering her actions because inquiring minds...(you know the rest) Oh, no doubt she was a "mover & shaker" of her time. She could afford the "finer things" in life now...all of this and more allowed her to proceed "with a clear conscious" to use "her truth" to justify the commission of genocide on the black race here in America around 1916. A practice we now call, "abortion". As a direct result, over 55 million American lives have been discarded like refuse. Wonder why Social Security is bankrupt? We killed our workforce, literally. Self-delusion=Death.

What?! You didn't know that? Are you shaken just a little? And rightly so...We cannot, with a clear conscience practice "eugenics' without first subscribing to Darwinian theory...that way leads to death--not Life and certainly not Love. Do you see that? You see beloved, some things we just miss and end up hurting ourselves and others. Oh, one more little tid-bit of information, everyone involved in those studies mentioned were/are self-proclaimed atheists. Discover more here.

(***Again, no one is here to condemn any woman who has chosen this way, nor the people who participate in it...certainly not, I. However, if you can admit to even "possible" deception...there is GREAT NEWS & LOVE WAITING FOR YOU, if you can muster the strength to keep reading. :-D!)

Do those scientific findings help confirm that Love is more than just a warm-fuzzy feeling or a chemical reaction in the brain? It does for me, how about you? They considered the experiments failure, for their intent and purpose, however, they inadvertently proved--that "this Love" is a life-giving force"...whether it's "identifiable or not" is irrelevant. Do you think that's fair to say? (Okay, Get your shovel ready...here was my "jumping off" point. for some of this research, and I caution you that you will have to dig hard to view the archived medical reports from the US, Germany, China and Africa and shared information with Russia . Be careful of the Wikipedia references as well, it is not as objective as it appears at first glance--remember, their are people who have "world-views" creating content. Did you know what prefix "Wick" means, even if the "c" is dropped and the additional "i" added?)

Furthermore, we can safely conclude, using the same technique that science, evolution, agnostics and atheists apply, that "this Love" has proven itself so far, through man's best "critical-thinking" efforts that 1) IT DOES EXIST...AND... 2) THAT IT EXISTED BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF MAN (remember the "touch" experiments)...AND...3) IT IS THE SINGULARLY MOST IMPORTANT KEY ELEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN LIFE.! Given what we've learned so far, is that fair to say?

Now, let's slow down right here & think about this carefully, then apply it to evolution. If we know that mammalian life cannot maintain itself without this Love-energy source (as validated by the method evolutionist so vehemently subscribe)---How is it then that the first man that "evolved" out of the primordial ooze survived and flourished? A-N-D what makes us believe that it was a M-A-N that "evolved" first? (Remember--our Secret Service fake/original lesson in the previous section?). Seems to me that by it's own methods evolution derails itself as a phony--a pretender to True Love. Oh, dear hearts, we humans already "can prove" a whole lot more than we are willing to admit!

So, Beloved, this Love is that important--it's Life-giving! Therefore, don't ever let ANYONE or ANYTHING make you feel bad, silly, stupid, dependent, or weak for seeking TRUE LOVE--the key element of Life!!!

And now, given this information of this Love journey...what do you think? Interested to see more? Cool...Let's go a little deeper...

"...TRUE LOVE IS WHERE YOU FIND IT!"

What the Heck Does That Mean?

We even write songs about it, "I found the greatest love of all inside of me..." If that were true, can we please let's just hurry-the-heck-up and project this "greatest love" outside ourselves toward each other and thereby end poverty, hunger, homelessness and all the horrors around the world? Belief in oneself is important, but it's not "the greatest love of all" Nice song though...

It can all be very confusing, like searching for 5-carat canary diamond in a dumpster full of premium imitation topaz surrounded by waste--will we settle for the emulation, or summon the tenacity and patience to sort & sift until we discover the real? That could be the reason True Love seems elusive for so many---who really wants to stick their bare hands (not to mention private body parts) in waste? So when we finally admit that we need this life-giving Love force & we yearn for True Love...how far are we willing to go find it and how do we start?

Would you agree that perhaps we need to find a "standard"...a yardstick (that would move some waste out of the way, wouldn't it? ;-D)...something to recognize and measure this so called "unidentifiable" invisible, yet life-giving True Love phenomenon by? It might help if we knew it's dimensions, that would help us identify the real thing from the phonies. But how in the world do we measure something without physical form, shape or depth--yet we know in our "know-ers" that it is a the real thing?

Hey...I have an idea, maybe we could use "Words" as our instrument! Sure, that would work, and it is an acceptable form of empirical, logical, scientific, and new age thought that should strike the chord of Truth in everyone reading this today! Like when man first looked into the starry night, with it's immeasurable dimensions, he called it "space" to describe what he was talking about...even though, at first, "he didn't know all the "what is its'", "whys" & "how comes" and yet others who looked up at night understood--Yeah, that works...let's use the Word to help us understand original, real True Love---is that fair?

To be as accurate as possible in our quest for Love, we must go back in time. Why? Because, real True Love has an origin. None of us were around when this Love began. The only thing that has been around since this Love is the Word (expression between two or more in relationship with or relating to each other) Pause and calmly think about that---maybe I missed something :-D!

The Words selected by the Author to express this Love, are like an anvil that have worn out many hammers over our existence! Men and women (of every powerful political status, wealth and who thought themselves more clever than the whole of human intellect) have tried to obliterate them into the dust, yet they still stand, as strong as the day they were delivered. Why? Could-it-be-that this Love actually set the standard of love, thereby, using Words--to give us a "yardstick" by which to measure and identify itself---so we could distinguish this Love from a masterful deception?

To date, the most perfect sequence of indestructible Words that describe this Love comprehensively, is uncovered in an ancient text that predates all others...did you know that? Prior writings only describe the feelings/emotion responses of Love, not Love itself--feel free to do your own research. ( Its possible I missed something ;-D)

Please 'listen' very carefully to this: "Love suffers long, and is kind; Love knows no envy; Love doesn't elevate itself and is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek with selfish motives, is not easily provoked and thinks no evil; does not celebrate others' weakness or stumbling, but rejoices in the Truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes for the good of all things, and endures all things. Love never fails."

WOW! Wouldn't you gladly give the whole of yourself to someone who chose to love you like that? What would you do or how would you reciprocate? What if you could not love them (no matter how hard you tried) the way they love you (according to this standard)? Would it make you just a little uncomfortable knowing someone loved you like that, and you failed to reciprocate? Hmm...let's step off the path a moment...

Did you know that the "meaning" of this uniquely peculiar Word-sequence is NEVER changed by translations of any language according to the *science of word recognition? (PHILOLOGY: A "field of study" that has only developed within the past 20 years of how we "see" words--this idea is ultimately credited to Ferdinand de Saussure, commonly recognized as the "father of linguistics"). Saussure's ideas as translated by Emeritus Professor of Linguistics Oxford University, Roy Harris, said this in the following statement: "Language is no longer regarded as peripheral to our grasp of the world we live in, but as central to it. Words are not mere vocal labels or communicational adjuncts superimposed upon an already given order of things. They are collective products of social interaction, essential instruments through which human beings constitute and articulate their world. This typically twentieth-century view of language has profoundly influenced developments throughout the whole range of human sciences. It is particularly marked in linguistics, philosophy, psychology, sociology and anthropology

WOW! Amongst all that collegial rhetoric , Harris states Words are not just descriptive, they actually have "substance". Do you see that?
( ***Note: Both of these men were self-proclaimed Atheists, although Wikipedia states under "religion-- western philosophy")

Let's get back on the path to finding our Way to Love

When people of different ethnic origins read these particular Words in their native languages...within the universal linguistic pattern of each language---philology (remember that?)---indicates this Love is a UNIQUE SUBSTANCE, AND because it's the first writing of it's kind that describes this Love--Shouldn't the "substance" referred to be accepted as the original source?

I was jaw-dropping-Ly, awe-struck once I understood it and saw it for myself...if you don't see it, don't worry, you can always bookmark & come back later!

The language of this ancient text is originally Hebrew, which uses no vowels, is also the most condense & precise language worldwide (it takes up the least amount of space for accurate communication, compared to all other languages) Linguistics experts agree. And for those who poo-poo ancient languages, NASA frequently utilizes it for concise data transfer.

"Why is all that stuff important to help understand these particular Words?" I'm glad you asked :-D!

It might be easier for us to see it this way:

  • We agreed to use Words as our "yardstick" to discover real True Love, right?
  • We learned that the Word is only necessary between two or more. (side bar: what is relationship?)
  • We discovered the first comprehensive description of Love using Words in our collective history in an ancient text (they are ORIGINAL)
  • We learned that that texts' particular Word pattern are strung together in a completely ORIGINAL & UNIQUE way, where as...through ethnic translations, although the sounds of the Words vary, the linguistics indicating THE SUBSTANCE referred to NEVER CHANGES! (leaves no room for interpretations or variances)
  • We confirmed through philology, that Words are not just descriptive, but Words actually contain SUBSTANCE
  • We also discovered via philology, that these particular Words contain ORIGINAL, UNIQUE, SUBSTANCE, because they are the first and only comprehensive description of real True Love.

Is it then fair to conclude that within the Words, linguistics and structure, lies not only a description of Love as feeling---but the FIRST, ONE AND ONLY ORIGINATOR (THE SOURCE) of True Love?

Another question: Based on what we've learned so far, Do you honestly think an ancient man named, Paul, fully understood the complexity of the Words as he wrote about this Love? Oh, sure, he was extremely well-educated--in modern terms he would have held several degrees--but was he this smart? Do you think it was luck, coincidence or chance that he is the only man in the history of man, who wrote this description of this Love? Hmmm...Want to see more?

FIRST ORIGINAL UNIQUE SUBSTANCE...

...True Love Takes On A First, Original, Unique, Substance Form

"Love suffers long, and is kind; Love knows no envy; Love doesn't elevate itself and is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek with selfish motives, is not easily provoked and thinks no evil; does not celebrate others' weakness or stumbling, but rejoices in the Truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes for the good of all things, and endures all things. Love never fails."

At first glance, those Words sound like a beautiful poetic fairytale, don't they? I mean, can anybody really live up to that? According to this description, the idea of True Love doesn't cost a dime...it looks like a wonderful way to say "I love you"...if we could love each other with this type of Love, doesn't it?

"NO HUMAN BEING CAN LOVE LIKE THAT, THAT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE!"

Really? You think that our "yardstick" is impossible and no human being could possibly live or love like that? Okay, alright, I concede defeat, I surrender--Do you? Can you admit that you can't love like that? Let me make it official in writing: 'There is NO WAY in my lifetime that I could love like that EVER'...there, I said it---can you admit that out loud right now? Go ahead, we'll all wait for you...doesn't it feel good to admit the truth? Now, take a deep cleansing breath and relax--

"So why waste time considering something that seems impossible to us, what's the point?"

Firstly, do you honestly consider discovery of true Love a waste of time given it's life-giving force in light of all we've learned here today? Next, simply because neither you nor I can love like that, doesn't mean there isn't someone who can. Someone who would gladly give to us the gift of this Love on Valentine's day or ANY other day we choose!

"Why someone and not just some-thing?"

Remember philology? Combine this strategic approach w/another scientific process called Statistical Semantics. By the way, this same combination type of forensic language study is widely used, accepted and respected form of evidence submission in judicial systems worldwide, in other words, it's a well-respected science applied to Word evidence in court! ("Warren Weaver (b. July 17, 1894 in Reedsburg, Wisconsin d. November 24, 1978 in New Milford, Connecticut) was an American scientist, mathematician, and science administrator. He is widely recognized as one of the pioneers of machine translation, and as an important figure in creating support for science in the United States."--Wikipedia) HE WAS ALSO AN EVOLUTIONARY ACTIVIST! (That's important for later.)

Here is why: When I settled myself down and really studied these Words within the light of all I learned from research, something more interesting became clearer ...what if I showed you another mystery that is buried within the words itself (in accordance with the "sciences" developed by these atheist evolutionary sources--it's irony gone wild!!!) that gives us a clearer picture of this Love? Please, look at the words again...

"Love suffers long, and is kind; Love knows no envy; Love doesn't elevate itself and is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek with selfish motives, is not easily provoked and thinks no evil; does not celebrate others' weakness or stumbling, but rejoices in the Truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes for the good of all things, and endures all things. Love never fails."


Within the linguistics of text, the word Love (no matter the language) should ALWAYS be capitalized as a personal pronoun (in accordance w/the original text language, Hebrew/Greek--most written translations honor this rule, others don't think it's important--but it is significant when searching for real True Love.). Which means that this Love HAS A PERSONALITY and furthermore, by the science (mentioned earlier) of the linguistic pattern, HAS TO BE A PERSON.. Is that right? Examine it yourself. It's interesting to note here our universal definition of the word "person"...you think you know? Click the link and make sure you do--we'll refer back to this later ok?

Therefore, since we've already admitted we can't love like that...oh, but that wasn't the question was it? The question is what if Someone (this Love--this person), LOVED YOU like that! I mean you personally, intimately, all of you--to the very core of your being, Someone who knew every aspect of your personality, mental acuity, mood swings, sexual desires--all of you, the whole of you, flaws and all; but Could/would you believe it? How would you respond? Are you guilty of being a selfish lover?

Would you be as selfish and ungrateful as most of us? Never acknowledging the person, or thanking them for their Life-giving love and gifts? Would you discover "new scientific evidence" and point to world hardships as a way of "proving" that the person didn't love you? Would you disown and disavow their love as petty, weak and irrelevant? Would you lie on them, cheat, rob, destroy all they did for you? Would you claim that YOU were a greater lover than them? Would you scorn others for the way they love this person? What will you say or do when you face them, up close and personal?

GROPING FOR TRUE LOVE IN THE DARKNESS

...Turn The SpotLight of this Love On!

Have you ever hunted furiously for something that eluded you, only to discover it was right under your nose the whole time? Now-a-days we tend to call those "Ah-Ha" moments--it's like the Light finally came on and we see more clearly. Let's see if you've got what it takes to have one. Below is the FedEx logo. There is an arrow in the picture, can you see it? If you have done this before or know this secret, just follow along & hush! Allow someone else to see it for themselves. If you haven't had any "Ah-Ha" moments in this writing, you are about to have a pretty good one...



Keep looking...look hard--I promise it is there...the creators of this logo hid the arrow intentionally as a subliminal cue that expresses "go out". Yet although the creators have said it's there, some people still will not believe it. Why? Because they couldn't see it when they first glanced or even studied it for awhile. So, they dismissed the creator's claim as a silly rumor spread by "supposed" eye-witnesses who "claimed" that they had seen it too. It certainly doesn't help matters when the witnesses try to act superior to those who can' t see it, as if they had anything to do with creating or placing it there in the first place. Sometimes the witnesses make others feel ashamed, stupid, and condemned who can't see it. Have you found it yet? No?

Suppose an expert in the field of "logo science" incessantly told you that "no such thing existed!" Would you believe them & give up looking despite the creator's claims and other eye-witnesses who can see it? Or how about those people with partial alphabets and titles associated with their names like, President of, PhD's, Esq, Doctors of, Emeritus, Professor, Dean...how about Priest, a Bishop or Reverend and the like...I mean, people with sub-titles too... celebrities, journalist..the media. These people tend to heavily influence us--whether we admit it or not. They say they can't see it--and if they can't see it, who are you to say that you can? What about the ultra-rich...I mean people like Carlos Slim Helu & family, owner of Tel Com (net worth $74 Billion), or Microsoft's Bill Gates (net worth $56 Billion), Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway (net worth $50 Billion), or Oprah Winfrey (net worth 2.7 Billion) now these guys must really know something that the rest of us don't, right....right? Oh, but they can't see it either, but who cares with all our money they got?! (oops, I made a funny...)

What if that little arrow was the key to Life, like this Love has proven itself to be? That compelling energy flow that gives all of us Life...Can you see it yet?

What if we missed it? Does that mean it's not there?


What If a bunch of our friends got together right now & nobody saw it! Would that negate the validity of it's existence? And wouldn't we be just a little pissed off if we searched this logo our entire life and still didn't see the darn arrow, then after we died, discovered that it was the key to Heaven? Wouldn't we be even more upset if our friends saw it, went on to lead their lives, died, met up briefly, and they got into Heaven and we didn't? All because they didn't tell us, or did "try" to tell us about it, but failed to point it out so that we could see it?

I know it's a stretch, because it's only a stupid arrow buried in a logo. But if we missed this little insignificant sight-check, is it possible that we could miss something more important...Like the Person that is this True Love, the ORIGIN OF THE LIFE-GIVING SOURCE OF OUR EXISTENCE?

If each of us could be honest and admit that there are somethings that we just miss, then we would be free in earnestly seeking, discovering, and sharing this True Love. Diligently showing the world it--instead of us. But that kind of honesty exposes our insecurities, does nothing for ego, and often times makes us feel less-than another who can see it more clearly than us, and can show us more detail w/in the arrow itself...

We take offense too easily when someone musters the courage to show us this Love,. Why? Because this Love says the things that we do are bad, that we are in darkness (and that we like it that way), and that we are blind: things to others, our environment, ourselves...even the way we think, as if it's a personal attack on "church-life" or "our lifestyle" or "how we were raised" or "what we were brought up to believe". Worst of all this Love tells us that we don't even know how to love---w/o this Love to light our path and guide us. To boot, this Love says it is the ONE & ONLY WAY! After we are done being "offended" -- is what this Love says true? I believe it is...just look at us---

We erroneously tend to compete & compare ourselves with each other, instead of gratefully receiving the benefit of each others' talents and gifts to make our collective co-existence better. Even when someone attempts to show us this Love, we are hyper-critical of the person who points the Way (and sometimes they get in their own way--desiring to be "credited"), even though our way is failing miserably! We're running around like chickens with our heads cut off, trying to "fix" something that we broke, but didn't design nor create--with the instructions in our hands, that we don't read and/or we too prideful to simply ask the original manufacturer! We even try to make this Love "relative" to our lusts and sexual appetites As if it needs our "approval/agreement" to stand up and be what it is...The First, Original, Unique, Substance. Life-Giving Source! Newsflash: this Love, like Truth does not need our belief or acceptance to exist...Can you see the arrow yet?

Please, with your permission, let me help...the arrow is between the "E" & the "x"...you see it now? "AH-HA!!!". CONGRATULATIONS, NOW YOU SEE IT!

Now that you see it, you will NEVER, EVER, "NOT" SEE THE ARROW AGAIN--EVER! Every time you see this logo, the arrow will "jump" out at you, and the best part is in sharing (you will either use this information to "lord-it-over people" to feed your own ego or "tenderly, gently guide them to see for themselves, so that they will not be ignorant or GROPING IN THE DARKNESS!

You have just had an EXPERIENCE WITH HIDDEN TRUTH!! No one's opinion can sway you on the issue--no matter how "important" or "influential" they may seem.
Their words sound like "blah, blah, blah" as they try to convince you that you are delusional or sharing in a fairy-tale rumor of mass hysteria. They thumb their noses & look down on you from lofty heights--who are you to tell them anything? You don't have their money or status, you are not even in the same league--"you're not qualified to tell me...!" You are just a common, typical, human resource...and there are more "arrow" non-believers than believers, so you seem both surrounded & outnumbered---but, three things you now know for sure--1) that there IS an arrow, 2) WHERE it is 3) Your relationship with it :-D!

Exploring this True Love is a very similar process to finding the arrow, first you have to look and keep looking (don't get distracted). Maybe someone who has already seen what you are looking for can explain it better to you, as you look for it again and again until BANG--YOU SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME YOURSELF! Except this Love is alive, and once YOU see it, it get's deeper, more intimate, more personal, more passionate as you search it out---it's powerful illumination, it's correction and guidance, it's forgiveness and mercy, it's gracious and kind, it embraces and comforts, this Love will blow your mind! It's simple enough for a child, yet complex enough to satisfy the most ravenous intellect! And like any great relationship, it starts with you asking questions and getting to know the person, right? This Love is not afraid of your questions.

Your consistent communion with this Love "turns spot light on your unique mental ability to "perceive" the Truth of both your personal life and all that relates to your world, You will be equipped to sort out the fakers/phony love and recognize the real deal, otherwise you will continue to grope in the dark. True, "Life-Giving Love" & will bring you JOY & MORE for the rest of your life and beyond!


Why do I say, "Beyond" ?--- Why is the concept of ,"ETERNITY" etched across the heart of all man (kind)? Ever though about that? Yet another commonality.

Doesn't it make you the least bit curious to know this Love Person a little better and maybe have a relationship with them?

There is room in this Love's heart for anyone who wants to have it---Come as you are--this Love's doing the inviting...

Please don't miss it because of pride.

*LOVES INVITATION TO YOU

WHO'S DOING THE INVITING?

Let's refresh point of view-- "Love suffers long (is patient), and is kind; Love knows no envy; Love doesn't elevate itself and is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek with selfish motives, is not easily provoked and thinks no evil; does not celebrate others weakness or stumbling, but rejoices in the Truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes for the good of all things, and endures all things. Love never fails."

According to our Word "yardstick", we can clearly see that it takes two or more for this Love (pause and calmly think about that).

Would it be safe to say this Love requires another to share love with--that this Love, desires company of it's own kind? Doesn't that make it UNIQUELY human?

Clearly, whom is Love going to be patient or kind with--or not envy? Love can be exalted, but it doesn't elevate itself...isn't that something to think about? In order to "behave itself.." somebody else has gotta see it, right? I mean, you can't have selfish motives all by yourself...can you? If you can...I think they might just make a pill for that :-D! Remember your philology lesson? You can pick out one or two of the verbs and state that you have this Love for a dog, cat, or inanimate object, but you cannot use these all in sequence to describe anything but a PERSON. Can you see it? So it looks like, this true Love must have 2 or more for it to be authentically this Love.

Oh sure, self-love is evident in the human race...but within that evidence, we use Words to express it---Words like, "Me, Myself & I". Hmm...three parts. Or more Words like, "Mind, body and soul" or "Mind, body & spirit". Hmm...three more parts. Another common denominator is that every human expresses the knowledge of a power that is greater than themselves from birth...since the beginning of remembrance.

Those "expressions of self" seem to be more than just ancient myths and cultural colloquialisms--everyone uses or has used similar Words to express the 3-fold nature of human beings since the beginning of the Word. (FYI--even those cultures that use a series of tongue-click noises have this idea...did you know that?). When did we discover our 3-fold nature? I think that's a whole other lens topic!

I suspect that we innately know more in our "knower"-- a great deal more, than what we openly admit. One thing is proven for sure-- Their is more to being human than the whole of emperic science, intellectual, evolution argument for the origins of man can reveal! I say again, it takes two or more for this Love.

Likewise, every human "knows" there is something more to Life beside what we can taste, touch, see, smell and hear. There is a moral code etched in our hearts that we struggle to explain--We know better than to murder, lie or steal. I mean, even cannibals don't eat their children! And because these are worldwide commonalities, it should serve as primary indicators of our connection to this Love as the FIRST, UNIQUE, ORIGINAL SOURCE OF LIFE-GIVING POWER PERSON, A CREATOR! And as created beings, rather than accidents that emerged from primordial ooze by accident...This PERSON left their mark on us intentionally, like a etched signature on their most exquisite masterpiece--Us! Except this Love's insignia is a like an engraved hollow space within us reserved only for this Love.

Some try to fill it with sex, alcohol, drugs, work, wealth, family, knowledge, politics, control...you name it. But only this Love / this PERSON can fill it's reserved space! And like our FedEx example or searching for Love--Once you see it, you ask questions to gain understanding, once you understand--EVERYTHING THAT IS PHONY IS EXPOSED!

Okay, so since is takes two or more for this Love to exist according to the text, and we have already admitted that no human being can love like that (never has & never will): So who was this author using Words to describe? Most baby boomers over 40 know this answer. You may have been taught it as a child, then dismissed it later on after witnessing all of the suffering in the world or some personal tragedy...but, please allow me to help...GOD IS LOVE. The Alpha (which means FIRST--The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob--The Existing One--The Almighty God---There is ONLY ONE!

"OMG! You led us this far to tell us that?!"


The philology of the text itself, AND the collective research of self-proclaimed Atheist "Experts" in this writing are INADVERTENTLY indicating just that fact---They crisscross and zigzag trying to avoid tripping of teach other's theories. Like the of Ockham's Razor that suggests : "...selecting the one that makes the fewest new assumptions usually provides the correct one, and that the simplest explanation will be the most plausible until evidence is presented to prove it false."

Have you evaluated for yourself the evidence of this PERSON, lately---I won't go into it here, but It's staggering! I'll put a few resources on the page...see for yourself!

IT'S YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE: READ THE WHOLE INVITATION, you might miss something!

You do have the right to choose. If you have read thus far, beloved, you have been invited...and not by me. I don't have the power that compels you to keep reading, nor understand. This Love invited you here today. My part in this is to show you something that you may not have seen before, like that arrow in the FedEx sign (only way more important to Life) so just maybe you can "see it" too! Remember--We don't know it all, but we only learn what we want to learn.

Love of and for you does exist, right now...can you see it? Okay, I'm not going to send you through that again, LOL! Yet it is there...it's been there right under your nose. It was here before you arrived in the world. Shall I prove it? (I heard someone shout "Challenge!") Okay, here we go...here is the undeniable, undisputed proof that you are loved by Love...YOU ARE HERE! Can anyone deny their own existence? Did you have anything to do with your own genesis or the Life-Giving Force?

Love brought you here, into this world and to this lens today....Oh, I'm not talking about the biological circumstance of conception (Never argue science--it's a wonderful, illuminating & fascinating field of study. But that's just it...if there was nothing logical in the "field" to study in the first place but accidents and coincidences, how could it ever be called, "a discipline"? Within the deeper meaning of the word "discipline" indicates that there is both a learned leader & student follower or disciple. Which begs the question, "Who are the scientists that exclude God following?" ---THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER BOOK OF WORMS! I'm talking about Love by intelligent design, intentional and magnificent. You see, this Love is a Personality of action, as we now clearly see. Let's read it again and pick out all the action Words (Verbs or verb subjunctives, for the PhD's on the lens today):

"Love suffers long (is patient), and is kind; Love knows no envy; Love doesn't elevate itself and is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek with selfish motives, is not easily provoked and thinks no evil; does not celebrate other's weakness or stumblings, but rejoices in the Truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes for the good of all things, and endures all things. Love never fails."

How many action words did you get? Do you know that language (all of them...any of them) do not ascribe these types of action words to inanimate objects? I.e. Let's switch the subject noun 'Love" to "Brick (or any inanimate object)". A brick cannot be patient, it doesn't have feelings, it cannot behave in one way or another...it's just a brick. Do you see that? Humans only ascribe these types of verbs to LIVING THINGS ACCORDING TO PHILOLOGY!

Wait, don't both empiric scientist and evolutionist agree that the universe is an inanimate object? (i.e. "speak to the universe & it will answer"..to all those who have followed that philosophy--I am so sorry, but you have been misled.)

"But if there is no life out there, it's a terrible waste of space."--Carl Sagan

As if God needs your opinion. A waste of space to whom, Mr. Sagan? Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." (English Standard Translation 2001). Anyone who has stood in a high place or flown in an airplane and looked down, knows that the perspective of "space" changes to reflect items at ground level in miniature form. God is bigger than we give Him credit for.

Look closer, there is something else to see in this text-- "Love knows, Love thinks, Sees or Seeks"? Is this text telling us that Love has intelligent thought? "Love can be provoked...does not celebrate...rejoices, believes, hopes, endures"? Is this telling us that this Love has emotions too? And the writing is also IN THE PRESENT TENSE AND DIRECTIVE TOWARD THE READER! (Remember Philology?)

Wait...doesn't that infer that this ONE, UNIQUE, LIFE-GIVING LOVE PERSON LOVE IS PRESENTLY ALIVE?! "AH, HA!" Oh, My! We may then safely infer that This Love, this Person is alive as much today as in the beginning of time. This translation of the ancient text strongly suggest the "PERSON" of the subject (of Love) within the text itself!!! Do you see it? This is just a tiny example of the wonderful surprises that this Love has in store for us...It doesn't need anyone's help to validate it, it stands alone. AND SINCE YOU ARE READING IT, THIS LOVE'S FOR YOU!

GOT QUESTIONS?

WONDERFUL! GOD'S GOT ANSWERS!

QUESTION: Are you responsive to answer questions from people who are not in relationship with?

If you recall, we have discovered a Person who has a personality. If you refuse the relationship offered, doesn't that make Their Love for you inaccessible to you? Well who's fault is that? You slammed the door right in their face?! Yet, they are still tenderly standing at the door of your heart knocking, TODAY, NOW--- because Love is patient ---until time is up.

Has anyone ever talked about you behind your back? Or even to your face...without even trying to get to know you? Have they ever put words in your mouth and they don't even know your name? Have you ever done something nice for someone, only to have them do something horrid back to you?

This Love has endured all that and so much more, yet Love's invitation is still open to you...arms outstretched, waiting to embrace you

"But, how do you know God/Jesus Loves me?"

Because He told you so--you may have just missed it before; "But God demonstrates His Own Love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."-- Romans 5:8 NKJ Translation.

"Are you calling me a sinner, I'm not a bad person?"

Yes, this Love called you a sinner & me too! Do you know what the word "sin" means? It simply means "to miss the mark". Remember the FedEx sign...did you miss the mark? And notice He demonstrates His Love toward us. So how can we demonstrate ours toward Him or do we remain selfish lovers? Our love demonstration is: BELIEVING IN THE ONE HE SENT!

Now let's honestly compare our thoughts, words, and actions to this Love's Standard which is the Law of the 10 commandments...but let's just do 3 of the 10 to see if we qualify as sinners before this Love:
You shall not lie -- I can openly admit that am guilty of lying ...can YOU admit it? That makes me a Liar.
You shall not steal (even if it was something small like a paper clip or pen from the office)--I can openly admit that I have stolen---can YOU admit it? That make me a Thief.
You shall not commit adultery (Later on, this Love said--If you lust after a woman (or man) in your heart as to have sex with them, you have already committed adultery in your heart) --- This one just seems so unfair, but it's this Love's Standard, not mine. So yes I have done this---have YOU? That makes me an adulteress.

So by our own admissions: we are a lying, thieving, adulterers with NO EXCUSE ...and that's just 3 of the 10! Because this Love's' law is written on the hearts of all men as shown above. (Why does the law seem to work for the guilty? Because the innocent don't need it!) So when we stand before this Love when we die...as we all must one day die (yet another commonality). OUR ONLY HOPE FOR SALVATION (DEFENSE or JUSTIFICATION) IS THIS, AND THIS!!!

"What if there is no after-life? What if you are wrong?"

If there is no God and this Love is just a fairy-tale for the weak-minded, then we will live good lives w/joy & hope through disaster, economic catastrophes and all manner of pollution and still manage to make a positive impact on the world and our loved ones.

Now, let me ask you a question: "What if you are wrong? Will your excuses, rationalizations and justifications get you by, when God Himself paved the Way?

This Person told us that there is a place called Hell -- that wasn't even created for humans, but since we've lived long enough, claim we can see, and choose to reject this Love. Then WE CHOOSE TO live out the rest of eternity without this Person and everything They provide along with all those who rejected this Person before the beginning of time That doesn't sound like a good thing to me...and there is no such thing as time in eternity! So, I say, Choose today.

If you want to argue the existence of Heaven or Hell there are some resources for you below...argue with those authors, because I'm already convinced that they exist. I suggest you get DVDs to examine their faces---Nothing kills an argument quicker than an experience...and these people have had quite an experience! My goal here is to perhaps show areas where we missed it, so that we can see & have our own personal experience with the Person of this Love :-D, because it is purely AMAZING!

Anyway, being found guilty before this Love means an eternity in hell, forever separated and alone (sorry anarchist). That's the bad news. Furthermore, we can never live up to this Love's law, no matter how hard we try or how good we think we are...You see, our definition of "goodness" and this Love's definition are two very different things! So, the same Love that loves us like that, is the same Love that has the right to judge us according to it's standards.

"How can that be?"

Can we see each others thoughts, motives or intentions from the time we are born? In order to judge properly we must have all the evidence...and try as we might, we just don't...but this Person does. So wouldn't They have the only right to judge rightly with justice? Should He let a lying, thieving adulterer go free? That's probably why He gave us this standard and instructed us not to judge each other, and to forgive...even our enemies.

But this is all bad news! But before I share the Good News with you, please try to forget everything else you've heard about how to get to God or Heaven. Why? Just like someone talking about you, when they don't even know you...they just get it wrong...sometimes even sincerely wrong. Why not get it directly "from the horses mouth?" Then you can examine, meditate, ask Them what They meant...you see?

First, you must know how to enter into the presence of this Love. You must go through the Way...and there is only one Way to reciprocate this Love and thereby obtain all that this Love has for you. (Oh, yes..there is more!)

"How do you know there is only one way?"

I don't...They said, "I am the Way.." I believe Him since He's not a man that He should lie...Will you believe? Oddly, security specialist agree that when guarding something valuable, there should be only one way in and one way out to keep out undesirables. I wonder where we got that idea? Why do we understand us, but feign ignorance when God says something?

Here is the GOOD NEWS--read it slowly? Remember the FedEx logo?

John 3:16--"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." --NKJ

You might have seen or heard this before, or read it on a tee shirt but it never really "clicked"--My hope is that it will for you today, because of the power and hope contained therein. Go ahead, you can say it out loud if you want to!

Max Lucado wrote one of the most wonderful books that I have ever read on this one verse alone! I challenge you to read it & maintain your views--if you are already a believer, this will strengthen your faith, love & trust in completed work of Salvation that Christ "accomplished" on the Cross! It will blow your mind!

Allow me to share some info here: the word "world" here translates in the original Hebrew as "enemies"...now read it again.

Are you a "who-so-ever"?

Now read this verse again--"But God demonstrates His Own Love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."-- Romans 5:8 NKJ Translation.

Those who miss the mark are sinners and enemies of God, according to Him. He only "draws one line in the sand"--We are either for Him or against Him (like the Matrix), there is no argument and no middle ground. Do you see that?

You see the GOOD NEWS is out of all this worldly mess: this Love created one Way of escape for us from sin, death and hell all in THE FIRST (.."in the beginning was the Word..."--John1:1, UNIQUE ("...only begotten...John3:16"), ORIGINAL (...the only Way to the Father is by the Son...), LIFE-GIVING, PRESENTLY ALIVE PERSON!

Don't you want to receive this Love so that one day, every question you ever had will be answered by God Himself instead of some so-called expert? Don't you see that He even has evolutionists and atheists proving Him---so they will have NO EXCUSE--Like I have no excuse--will YOU try to make excuses, when YOU stand before Him? ... so who's in control now?

To Date everything that His Bible said would happen has happened...which should be further proof that God is not a man that He can lie. HE SAID HE'S COMING BACK. It wouldn't be like last time...First the believer's will go (millions will simply vanish!)...It's the very next thing on God's Calendar! If you will NOT believe, then you will be left here amongst the greatest deceivers of all. There is a Way of escape...through this Person's Love for you ...

SO WHAT'S THIS PERSON'S NAME?

....PICK ONE!

"I AM that I AM"
"Which I AM?"
"That I AM"
"Which one again?"
"I AM that I AM"
"Ok, who's on first?"

Believers worldwide will probably crucify me for that one (pardon the pun), but I like Abbot & Costello so :-P and God has nothing against us enjoying life and having fun! Seriously though....

The only man in history who claimed to be both 100%-God and 100%-Man at the same time. Just because we could only see flesh, or could not explain His miracles does not negate that fact (remember the FedEx logo)! Over 100 verifiable aspects of His life, death and resurrection were revealed to men to whom He was genetically(by human standards) related. These men lived in separate regions, of different ages, often separated by centuries of time and could not have possibly collaborated in anywise to "make-up" His life's story, prior to His birth.

He is THE central PIVOTING figure in mankind's history. HIS MIRACLES attested and witness to His Supreme Divinity. Prior to Him, NO ONE HAD EVER heard of water turning into "the best wine", leprosy reversed to healthy skin, the blind regaining their sight, the deaf hearing, the lame walking, tan obedient atmosphere to His spoken word, and certainly not the dead rising up out of their tombs after decaying to the point of "stinking"--being restored to perfect health! Prior to Him,NO ONE HAD EVER cast a demon out or raised a dead child back to life. NO ONE EVER HEARD OF feeding over 5,000 men (they didn't count women & children, but they were there too--you do the math) with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread! With power and authority His told the supreme religious establishment to "Stop making a mockery out of My Father's House!" in broad daylight, while they stood fumbling trying to figure out what to do with this man. He saved a woman from being stoned to death-- who was guilty and caught in the very act of adultery, by the creme De la creme of the religious order and a violent mob. He walked on water in front of many witnesses other than His disciples who were killed because they would not recant their testimonies. He told us our ways ARE BAD! He is the light for people in darkness. He told us that God this Love IS His Own Father and while we study the scriptures, and do our "piteous" duty of religion that we really have no love for God in our hearts. When He preached & taught us, He invited "whosoever" to believe in Him so that they would have the power to be called Sons of God. He told us that no man could come to Him unless His Father's Holy Spirit drew them. (if something on your inside is stirring you right now, just submit) He said that He would (faithfully) stand at the door (of our hearts) and knock and if any man (or woman) would open the door, that He would come in and sup with them.

HE ALSO SAID HE WAS COMING BACK AGAIN after He was raised from the dead by this Love, His Father. He said if we believed in Him that we could call His Father, Our Father...that we would no longer be enemies or sinners because the shedding of His blood atoned for all of our sins (past, present and future). He took 12 men and changed the world as we know it today. He did all these things and so much more while never missing the mark (sinning on any level) and He did it all with "Words", openly and without shame, intimidation or backing down. In front of the religious order of the day and the surrounding crowd who had many opinions and experts no doubt. He told us that He would be crucified, but that no man could take His life (please stop blaming the Jewish!) --He gladly lay it down for us...so that we might believe in Him be saved from the Day of Judgment, and live with Him and Our Father forever.

We came for Him at night, even though He had done all His work in broad daylight and was not guilty of sin, let alone a crime. There we see Him standing before strapping and heavily armed centurion guards accompanied by their servant as he is betrayed by one of His own, Judas Iscariot for 30 pieces of silver (as predicted 400 years prior). Peter draws his sword and slices the ear of one of the servants completely off--But He picks the ear up off the ground and does painless reconstructive plastic surgery within seconds as while admonishing Peter, leaving the servant on his knees healed and whole from within. He walks miles in heavy chains from court to court for long hours. He is socked, kicked, punched, spat on, and stripped nude. He is whipped head-to-toe by the cat o' nine tails (braided whip with metal chips at the end) until His own mother doesn't recognize Him anymore, a crown of eagle-talon sized thorns pressed into the scalp until it hit the skull, a robe of state placed around his nude bloody body as He was paraded up Calvary amongst the hostile crowds. He is spat upon, mocked, kicked, scratched, tripped, whipped and beaten the whole time. He fell down many times until finally an Ethiopian is charged to help carry both Him and His cross. He tells his mother, "Behold, I make all things new...." He is nailed among two thieves on either side...with long iron spikes through the wrists and feet (crucifixion is a slow cruel means of suffocation, yet He did not suffocate--He bled out & His heart stopped. Turning the cross over crushing His face into the hard dirt to secure the nails from behind. The hole for the cross is finally deep enough to support it's weight as strong muscle-ridden centurions use rope pulleys to lift the cross beam and it's occupant.

While suspended between heaven and earth, naked and beaten to a bloody pulp, a guilty man hanging on the cross beside Him mocks Him, "If you are the Christ (Savior), come down from the cross and us too!"

But the guilty thief on the opposite side chastise his partner in crime saying, "Have you no respect for God? We are guilty, but this man has committed no crime!" He goes on to say, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom."

The Man in the middle, called the Christ replied, "This day, you shall be with me in paradise."

He still had more Words to say like, "Father forgive them...for they know not what they do".

Roman guards threw dice for His robe (predicted 100s of years before He was born).

The sky turned black as pitch (without a solar eclipse), a violent series of earthquakes, severe lightening strikes, wind howls and this Man's dying decree, "It is finished (accomplished)"

**NOTE: When a person requests or makes a voluntary confession before dying and it is overheard or recorded, legally it is presumed to be absolute Truth. It cannot be challenged nor disclaimed as false in any court. Did you know that? Why is it we believe that for human court, but not God?

A weary and jaded Roman Captain of the Centurion Guard is recorded as saying, "Surely this man is the Son of God!" Note "IS", not "WAS"!

A sign, written in all of the languages of the day, had been nailed to the cross via the Governor of Rome's decree which says, "This is Jesus--King of the Jews"

"No one else can save us. Indeed, we can be saved (preserved) only by the power of the one named Jesus and not by any other person."--Acts 4:12--God's Word Translation. It's not up for our pathetic debates or arguments.

--But the story doesn't end there, He was raised from the dead in the midst of heavy Roman centurion guards. Over 500 eye-witness accounts (besides His 12 disciples) of His resurrection. (Please research, until your faith overflows),


Many who were tortured and martyred by crucifixion themselves because they would not recant their testimonies to Roman authorities. Rome even tried to pay to cover the story up! Who in their right mind, would die such horrible painful deaths for a lie? What government would pay to cover it up, if it was a lie?

Here's another truth--He would have done the exact same thing if it was only YOU who needed to have a way to be with God forever.

What's His Name? A better question is what's your position? Forget religion, He only draws one line remember? For Him or against Him...but maybe you need a little more time to figure that one out. But don't wait too long--If you feel something stirring in your heart and a yearning in the pit of your soul for this Love? Then that is Him knocking...just open the door, He knows all about it anyway--so you might as well talk to Him. He will give you peace that you have never known, beauty for your ashes, and the oil of joy for your mourning. He is EVERYTHING that He says He is. Won't you give Him a chance and give yourself rest?

I made a joke earlier about what's His name...but HE IS WHAT EVER THAT THING THAT YOU NEED HIM TO BE! "I AM that I AM"...so choose one or choose all...but please, please, please...choose soon, HE IS COMING BACK, and it's not going to be like the last time!

PICK ONE--He hears your heart cry!



ALL THIS LOVE IS THE GIFT OF SALVATION FOR YOU! Repent (change your mind), confess your sins (we all sin), call on Him & open the door to your heart! He promises to come in and sup (relate, share) w/you...HE accepts your trade for the nothing that you are/for ALL that HE is! Because HE IS GOD & GOD IS LOVE....we can not know real True Love w/o Him!

WHO DO I THINK I AM TO WRITE ALL THIS?

"I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, about SOMEBODY Who can Love Anybody"--John P Kee/me

If I have failed in any way to properly relay this information, or have hurt another brother or sister--please lay the blame on me, because Jesus is blameless and perfect--but, sadly i am not...yet :-D!

CAN PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST?

What Do You Think & Why?

Woman Thou Art Loosed

Here is a question for the ages! Everyone talks about God this, and God that, a higher power, evolved consciousness, the god within, etc...Let's get really specific here...we (the author & associates) are thoroughly convinced that JESUS IS LORD OF ALL! Whether you believe that or not is irrelevant to our position. We also believe that any Love that is not based in His Love is a fake and will not stand: possibly a masterful fake, but a fake nonetheless. This question is posed to only to the fearless!

    WOW!!!!! I knew you had it in you but my sister you have out done yourself. Only you would be able to break it down like this & make it RIDICULOUS (you know what I mean & I’m sure you can see my face right now). I love you & keep them coming.

    AMAZING!!!!!!!! This is one of the most remarkable pieces I have read in a while. If I weren't a believer I would sure consider a love like this. I, however, am a believer and am so grateful that "This Love" loved me (and you) beyond myself. To the author, continue in His love. And to the "Author", be praised forever, amen

    I sit here in tears of joy, anticipating the many that will see True Love for the very first time and take the steps to receive Him. I bless God for the author here and the diligent research and god-given wisdom in this treatise.
