Love, the greatest of them all

So ever been in love? Sure you have. No, am not just talking about romantic love alone. So you think there ain't another type of love? Think again.
Love is that emotion no one can escape from. You will surely agree with me, won't you? So here is a list of the types of love that exist around us.

Love for God
This kind of love for the creator is a different sort of love. It's the feeling of empowerment, contentment and spiritual connection you experience when loving the almighty God who created you.

Love for parents/elders
This love is what we have towards our parents. The family feeling, the love comparable to none towards humans. This kind of love gives us the feeling of security, of warmth, of belonging somewhere, sacrificial love.

Romantic Love
Who doesn't know this kind of love? It's the most spoken of. It commercially sells well too. This love is the one that gets you connected to a person in a romantic way. Hard to find and harder to keep. It gives you a sense of excitement, care and emotional connectivity towards the person you are romantically in love with. The butterflies, dilated pupils all are seen and experienced here.

Love for siblings and friends
The platonic love, that which you have towards your siblings and close friends. It's that kind of love that keeps you going when you need a shoulder to cry on or a ear to listen to your emotional or personal sagas.

So why am I talking about love today? Well you will soon know the answer. But let me tell you, this segregation (once told to us by our Hindi teacher somewhere when I was in the 7th Std) of love seems incomplete to me. Though I remember it extremely well. I stumbled upon two more kinds of love.

Here is what comes next...

The love of parents towards their children
This love is comparable to none and it involves time, sacrifice, patience, understanding, caring and unconditionally giving. Trust me, other than your parents no one can give that kind of love to you ever. Though exceptions are there.

And then comes the greatest of all love.
Guess which?


Love of God for us all
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son Jesus to suffer on earth and die for our sins so that the gates of heaven will be opened for us, so that through his blood our sins may be washed clean and we may be made new everytime we stand up against sin and overcome it.

Love isn't always about reciprocation, it's about selfless giving such was the love of Christ for us.

And he calls each of us today to love selflessly all those you encounter each day of your lives.

Today is the celebration of this greatest love on earth.

Wishing you all a happy Easter and may God's mercy and love fill each of your hearts, may you be renewed in Jesus and be a blessing to all around you.

No matter who you are, where your from, what you do, remember that Jesus loves you.

Stay blessed and much love to all. 💗💗💗💗

It's all about Time


                     

Hello there, I know it's been a while since I wrote something out, but today I have managed to find some time to do the same and hence the title.

I believe everyone encounters a time phase where we tend to slow down, to take a step back and look at the current situation we are in. Well if you haven't experienced it yet it's time you do. Here I will list down 5 things that we need to keep in mind when we decide to slow down time and why we need to do it.

1) Time for you

We are so busy with everything we do our jobs, studies, businesses etal that we forget to give ourselves time. I am sure most of y'all remember as a child when we played a game we would say "time please" and take a small break. This life is also like a game and if you are reading this with curiosity it's time you said "time please". Trust me you deserve and need it.

2) Organise time

Well obviously we can't organise time but what we can do is organise the things we do. Set time for various activities throughout the day so that you avoid any wastage of time. Also cut down on the things you do daily so that you get more time. In short- set your priorities straight.

3) Time to think

Sure daydreaming isn't for all? I strongly feel that we need to sometime indulge in daydreaming. In doing so we get to know ourselves better. We think about our dreams, our goals, the things we have forgotten about, the things we are missing out on. Sometimes these small bits make our lives so much better. Also realise, it slows time relatively.

4)Time for nature

We are a part of this big expanding universe and narrow it down- we find ourselves in this beautiful planet (earth). Our mother nature as we call it. We feed on the resources we get from nature but we forget to experience it. It's high time we protect and appreciate our planet but I know most won't do it because we aren't connected to it. So pack your bags and get out of your homes, explore nature. Swim in a river, go on a hike, into a jungle if not a zoo. Connect. Sorry not through your phones though.

5) Time for Sleep

Yes you heard it right, as we get older and busier we miss out on our time for sleep. We tend to work overnight, study overnight but when we do so our brain cells get damaged further leading to low memory power, poor performance and other consequences. If you are reading this late in the night promise me this will be the last thing you do on your phone and jump right back into your beds.

Hope y'all find some time for yourselves soon and wishing y'all luck with it. I know how difficult it can get.
Much love to all and see you soon with something new. Stay blessed. Peace.
