Think tank and think love until it sinks.

“The good old Matter of Love.”

I long to love but I also love being loved. True love is addictive, irresistible, unconditional and persistent to the end.

I have always welcomed the verse that says, “The fellowship of the saints is our inheritance on this earth.” The firstborn son of love is fellowship.
When you love someone in true and deep fellowship, you are indeed a rich man who lives life fully and dies truly wealthy, for to him is true the verse “Death is gain.”

He who lives to love, knows God because God is love. If you cannot but love, do not take credit for yourself because it is Christ in you who is the hope of glory.
Consider the following verse, “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13.

Deeds done in love are the only true “good works.” It is like wedding gifts that are registered in the books of God in heaven and are credited to your account. Therefore, Love Jesus in the here and now while he is near, for as Jesus said: “I will be with you for a little while, but the poor you will always have them.” Remember that Jesus is the solid food from God.

If you care for the poor, you should know that, “He who gives to the poor lends to the Lord.” Our almighty God says: “I will repay.” Rewards like blessings and curses are from the hand of God.

I am a country boy, orphaned from birth since my father died before I was born. I grew up with my grandparents and later in life I became a widower at an early age. I have come to know how it is to be miserably sick tiptoeing at the edge of death many times over but I don’t remember ever feeling truly alone for he whose eyes are on the sparrow, watches me.

I sing because I am happy and I sing because I am free… his eyes are on the sparrow and I know he watches “We.”

By the Grace of our Father in Heaven I was never truly alone and this is my firsthand testimony and I in turn beseech you to love Jesus for he pays back.

The good old subject of love is the essence of life. Love is not a subject, or a predicate, neither is love an adjective or a concept, but love is a person and that person is God himself. God is Love.

Faith and love will not always abide, but love will abide forever as does water for the fish.

P.S. My prayer request is that I might joyfully endure my present routine of one day of dialysis for another day of recuperating from the stress of dialysis only to go back the following day for more of the same.

I will write to you as usual but less often due to the taxing nature of my treatment and running around from doctor to doctor all of the time.

Does it sound like I am complaining? If so, ignore it and just remember that I Love Jesus and I love you and I love hearing from you.

Last night as I was editing this letter Six cars from the garage of our apartment complex were vandalized and robbed of their contents. But our Lord who watches has already turned it into a blessing.
