A complicated 2 piece puzzle.



Love is a simple 4-letter word used in thousands of forms and associated with endless of significance, depicted by countless of people throughout the context of histories; in relationships, or occassions like valentines and pictured with symbols like roses and hearts. However as much as the list can go on, the truth is Love derived from an only origin. It was him who created love, and he is love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (New International Version)
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


Just recently, I had a conversation with David Hoe. We started evaluating a system and it's flaws. Though I attempted with my seemingly clever answers and solutions, none seemed to be the fitting block. "Methodology" was a new word I learnt that day, but could not be of any use too. At the end, I was defeated by this four letter word; LOVE. It is the most credible solution enough to answer all.

Love was not an alien to me after being in this Love-filled community for such a long span of time, coming across different situations of loving people and inking down the theories in countless pages - However the truth that I realised is I have lost the fear and discomfort of loving people around me, focused too much on the actions of love, seeked it's trails, and had been contented with such.

Dear God, I pray that even before I expect my people to love, deal with me first by teaching me how to recaptivate the joy of loving with discomfort again. Even though I may struggle at times, I want to persist and press on. Be it as a person, as a shepherd, let everything I do simply flow out from your love for me, and mine to others. Amen.


A word easy to communicate, yet most difficult to be taught. Going to start by bringing my love from my temple to my heart.
