Reflection - 27 Sacrificial Sense of Love

                    Sacrificial Sense of Love

No greater love exists than to sacrifice one's life his / her people. 

Wow... What a great saying... Isn't it?

But giving our life and not living it with those whom we love... Does it worth living?

I don't think so... We always wanted to live a life with our loved ones. Then what does it mean to sacrifice one's life???

In love one sacrifices his / her to desires, wishes, goals and the entire life into the other who he / she loves. 

In love one has to pour out the life of oneself into the other self... So that the other is responsible for the fulfillment of your life. Similarly the other will replenish you with his / her goals into you so that you are responsible for their life. 

I understand sacrifice in this way for a better mankind. We, as faithful, are entrusted in the hand of Priests and religious. Simultaneously the priests and religious are entrusted to our hands. 

This sacrificial sense of responsibility is mutual and so Jesus said the kingdom of God is among you. 

However humans are intrinsically not perfect we are given another important duty to love one another as Jesus loves us. Because He initiated the love. Since God so loved us, we ought to love one another. (1 John 4:11)

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Since God gave his only son to us it is our utmost responsibility to give ourself to others in love which makes a true sense of sacrifice. 

Let's Pray:

O Lord give us the sense of sacrifice in loving others. Amen.

Reflection - 26 Love amidst Rejection

                   Love amidst Rejection

Let us recall the moments when we rejected someone's love for us by just using them at the time of our need and throwing them off like a dog???

Sometime or the other we would have done it in Our life. We might not be aware of that yet we had done that.

At the same we would have also experienced a humiliating rejection by the one, whom we have loved a lot. 

Karma awaits...

Okay let us make a small analysis...

Why we face such situation... Either rejecting someone or being rejected by someone.

Most of the times we are blind in finding out the true colour persons who love us and who use us. 

Many try to use us... Mostly... Because we are born selfish... Selfishness is an inborn character of ourselves or say to be very decent in saying this... We are born to fight and survive in this world. 

Nevertheless we too experience the same rejection... 

Love is a peculiar object... Like a magical mirror ball through which you can see one's heart. For those who value it, it shows its magic and for those who do not value it, it is just a paper. 

Jesus was very particular in showing love even under thorough rejections. He never hesitated to show mercy on the good ones as well as on the sinners. 

He never took up rejection as the symbol of hatredness but as a sign of ignorance. Hence Jesus forgave them even on the cross. Hence we call his love as unconditional because it is the only love that understands humans as humans and not as phenomenal judging panels. 

If we do not love the one who loves us... Why don't we tell them instead of using their goodness for your selfish self?

Let us be very genuine atleast in loving someone truly. There is no love that is stained in dirt but is stabbed in heart. 

Jesus' love is stabbed one but not a dirt stained rather blood stained for the salvation of humanity. 

Let's Pray:

Lord the love incarnate, stain me in your blood to love you and others selflessly. Amen.

Reflection - 16 Betrayal

                               Betrayal

Just this question👇 lingers my mind often...

Why do people betray in a relationship?

There are various factors behind the above question which I would like state below👇

1. Improper understanding 

2. Impurity of Love

3. Least priority given

4. More expectations

5. Less expression

And many other too...

One may wonder how these factors affect a person to betray a loved one... 

Actually do u know if that person really loved you???

Or if that person does really want you to be less prioritized???

Or Does the relationship make out of love???

Answer these questions you will find the answer. In any relationship such questions will give you answer. The first of all these is to find out whether we do commit ourselves truly to it?

If so... Then find out the answers outside. 

But I tell you the greater love can never be compared with Jesus' love. Humans betray you though you are faithful, hate you though you are loving, leave you when you need them, punish you even when you are sorry, never be with you till the end...

But Jesus does my dear ones... Psalmist would beautifully say Take refuge in the Lord than to trust these mortals (Ps 118:8)

Let's Pray:

Lord be with me in all my seconds of Life. Amen.

Reflection - 13 Facebook of Love

                      Facebook of Love 

Often we experience a sort love-hate war inside our heart. We try to tackle that with our brain. But you know what... we eventually fail. 

Why???

Because we deal the wrong areas with a wrong tool. Most of the time we experience an imbalance in our emotions.

We may doubt the person whom we love might not love us.

We doubt that the planned event to express our love to them, could collapse.

We doubt the loyalty of the person whom we love...

Bla... Bla... Bla...

Have we ever thought if that person really loved us like we do???

Perhaps... Here we have to analyse the attitudes of different people.

The one who loves us

1. May not show that love but still loves us like no one does

2. May express a lot but comparatively we are not better for them.

3. May expect you to show that and enjoy being loved

4. May not know how to express and so collapse the situation

There are also other people who really do not love you at all but pretend as though, since we love them more than anything.

The above people will be

1. Reluctant to you always

2. Using your goodness and lend their love to another

3. Trying to end the conversation sooner though they have a lot of time to spare 

4. Comfortable in hurting you at all cost.

But their is a perfect example for an earthly love.

JESUS

Jesus is the one who gave his life for the love he had on us. No other gods came down to live amidst us to redeem us by giving the life as a cost of all our sins.

💓His Love is💖

Unconditional🥰

Eternal😇

True😘

Incomparable☺️

So Tasty😉

Let us not forget one thing in our life. Nobody in this world forgive your sins and accept you even when you love them. But Jesus does even when you don't love Him. 

Because he is Madly fallen in love with you.

Let's Pray:

Jesus the dearest of my heart, Let me live in your love. AMEN

Reflection - 2 Understand & Love

Understand & Love

Understanding: A proper concern for a real Loving personality.

We discuss more about love these days since we face an enormous lacksity of it. 

Why most of the time we fail in loving a person?

The right area of such question to search for is nothing but Understanding.... 

Hope you understand....

Persons who love each other with proper understanding will win the race. No person is correctly sculpted. At one point of time we think someone as our right loving partner (perhaps maternal, fraternal, paternal, friendly, marital etc.) I speak love in general because we fail in all the areas. 

Understanding a partner is very important than talking, dating, calling, caressing, kissing, caring and so on. Because every other things will pop up only when you have a proper understanding. 

Misunderstanding is the root cause of all the problems in life in love. Love should not believe the misconceptions from outside. Even if your mind says by itself to you make sure you did not love the other really.

Love never leaves the feeling of insecurity as like a mother. Though the other person sins in front of you, your Love on that person understands 'Why?' of the sin and sees 'Who?' of the person and says the word "it's k".

Let us try to figure out where we failed to bring about a proper structure for our love which is actually shapeless without understanding. 

Think of the moments when we, by mistake, hurt a person by misunderstanding them.

Jesus understood the heart of the people and healed them. He knew why those people sinned and outdone the laws. Yet He loved them and gave them His life. 

Let's Pray:

O Dear Lord Jesus the beginners guide of Love, make us love one another by understanding them. Amen

Reflection - 1 Life is So Mystical

Reflection - 1

"Life is so mystical"

One cannot easily understand & predict what will happen in the very next moment of our life. But life is not so cruel to abandon you in a state of loneliness. 

For everyone life gives an opportunity to envision a goal. Life gives Someone or somebody to pass by or stay forever and tells us there is another way and there are more distance to travel along. Life also shows somebody to learn how not to be like them, such will take your life mercilessly. 

Getting a good friend or an understanding partner in our life journey is a God given gift. 

# Mother Mary's journey with Christ,

# Disciples' journey with & after Christ, 

# St. Paul's journey with the Risen Lord, whom he had never been with but encountered and lived, Etc.

Let us remember Jesus says to us "No Love is greater than laying down his / her life for a friend (perhaps father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother etc.)"

Let's Pray:

Lord the incarnation of Love, as you initiated the divinity of love for the first time in this world, allow us also to partake in the true sense of being loved and to love as you did. 

(For your Reflection: Who is your friend (...)?)
