Finnabu The Wiseman and His Student

   One day the Wiseman of the hills walked in the path which was stretched before the village fisherman’s house, and a small boy called Zirzel, the fisherman’s son saw him from the window. He had heard from his friends and others that the man who walked passes by had a castle in the hill where he teaches the art of living, fighting and wisdom. They said the great king of that land had built it for him.

   Some says he can turn nothing to fire, some says he can fly, some says he will live forever, all because he knows the secrets of the world which is called wisdom. So, they named him Finnabu – which means book of wisdom.

   Zirzel rushed toward Finnabu and shouted, “Finnabu, Finnabu please teach me as well.”

   “Why do you want to learn?”

   “Because… because… I want to look after my parents. They work so hard and are so tired.”

   The Finnabu looked at the poor little boy and his heart broke, “Come my boy, if you really desires so follow me.”

   Zirzel followed him, his mother watched him without any words from the same window and her heart broke too. ‘How can such a little boy understand his life, about life and loved his parents so much,’ she thought with tears in her eyes.

   The Wiseman notice an apple tree when they passed by a garden. He took the boy further and he decided to rest on the shadows of a tree in the garden. And he said, “Go and pluck one apple.”

   The boy went and found an apple and gives it to the Wiseman.

   “Wait me here,” said the Wiseman and he climb the tree on which he leaned to.

   “I’ve put the apple on top this tree. Bring it back to me,” the Wiseman point his finger to the trees.

   The boy wanted to ask something but he remembers that he had begged to teach him wisdom. And he climbed the tree without complain. As he climbed he realizes that it was a tamarind tree which is hard to break.
 
   When the boy get down from the tree and gave the apple to Finnabu, the Wiseman asked, “What do you learn from that exercise, or what were your thoughts on it?”

   “Tamarind trees are hard to break… and.. and sometimes, apple is found in other tree,” Zirzel scratch his head.

   “Only if someone keep it,” Finnabu smiled. “Yes tamarind trees are. Okay, try again.”

   “Do not fear to climb a tree.”

   “That’s true, in other words let me say what that means, ‘Do not fear to go through life, or fear not the journey of life, as there is fruit at the end of the journey.’”

   “Finnabu, is that what we can learn from it?”

   “No, you can learn lots of things from it. And what I had in mind to teach you from it is that ‘the higher your goal is, the higher you reach.’” Finnabu continued, “And other things you should also know are that, you should use, concentrate your mind to find or learn something from every of your experiences, that’s what wise people always do, and every goal you desire to achieve was made or kept by someone - the great Creator,” he paused for a while. “So now do you realize goals already exist and the paths to goals are as hard to break as Tamarind tree but its men who gives up.”

   “Now my eyes are opened. I’d like to become like you and I now know I can, I now know it all depends on me. Thank you Finnabu.” The boy felt as if he had reach a higher ground in spirit.

   When Zirzel got back home, his father had come from fishing with few fishes as he had sold half of it on his way back. And he told to his parents what Finnabu, the Wiseman of the hills had taught him that day.

A Story of a Man: How Many Lose Fortune

   There lived a merchant in a village. He had a shop in the town near by, and everyday he went to open his shop in the morning and came back home in the evening, sometimes late sometimes earlier.

   One day, around dusk, in his way back home he dropped his gold coins unfortunately and he was really angry. He was counting it when he stumbled to a stone on a side of a road. He had deeply gave his mind to his gold coins to know how much he earned that day and had walked off the road.

   He turned back, saw a black stone he stumbled upon (which has caused him to stumble- but it was not the stone but his carelessness), as he could not control his anger and could not shook off the blame on the stone he kicked it away again. Then he looked for his gold coins, he found a few of them but could not find the rest as it had become darker. He went home took a fire and came back with his wife, if not someone may also stumble there and find the remaining gold coins and took it away.

   While they searched persistently with the fire, he saw the stone again, took it and said, “This made me stumble.”

   His wife leaned nearer, took it from his hand and looked at it as if she was trying to see something in it. It was the size of a fist, a fine black stone.

   “As it is as much as black it brings misfortune,” he added, he took the stone from his wife and with all his might he threw toward the woods, then they continued their search.

   The next morning a traveler dropped by his shop and asked where he could find a poor labour of his village.

   ‘A day begins with questions tells a bad day and did not bring good sales,’ the merchant thought and he did not give the stranger a good answer.

   But the traveler was persistent in his search too, he took out something from his bag and showed it to the merchant. It was a small black stone, about the size of a thumb. “Last time, I got few things like this from him and I wanted to reward him, help him more so that he may have a beautiful and comfort life. He is such a pathetic labour and I could not shook him off from my mind and enjoy all the riches I had earned through him.”

   The merchant was now curious as the stone was exactly the same kind with the stone he poured his anger to and threw it far away.

   “This is very precious,” the traveler added.

   “How much doest it cost?” the merchant heart skipped a bit.

   “This is not for sale.”

   “I’m just asking you the price…”

   “Oh! Yes… m.. millions.”

   “Wha..what? what do you just say? Millions?” the merchant’s heart beats faster.

   “Of course, millions.”

   “He lived down there, near a stream in the bottom of the village,” the merchant replied. ‘The stone I threw away could cost hundreds of millions,’ he thought, ‘It's my anger, uncontrolled short temper and lack of knowledge that make me lose a great fortune.’

   ‘Really, lack of knowledge is foolishness, and foolishness is misfortune. It made us lose fortune which could be ours. Therefore one must seek knowledge of the truth of everything, so that he may not lose fortune again because of his lack of knowledge, in other words, foolishness.'

   After the traveler left, the merchant regretted not telling to the traveler that he had threw away a big one, promised to seek it and asked him to come back to him, or not taking his contact information. After all the traveler was a good and honest man, for he was going to be a great blessing, double blessing to someone he had bought something, and it was him who brings to his attention, who give him knowledge of the stone.

   ‘But, I must be wise from now, who knows the traveler was a trickster. I must see what he did to the labour. The labour would know his contact information if he was a true man,’ he thought.

   The merchant had learn not to lose his good character, and from then onwards he always overcame his anger. He also realized how knowledge is worth more than the stone he seek, and he began to love knowledge and seek it. And he had made his mind to keep learning his whole life as lack of knowledge could also brings him another lose or misfortune though he may find the stone and become rich.

   He also learned that black does not necessarily brings or means misfortune and he stop being superstitious or something related to it.

   And as he was using his mind, concentrating to his mistakes, he learnt that it was his anger and foolishness that give him this much trouble and work, and learned that anger is foolish. 'But thoughtfulness and patience could save one from anger, or  short temper and misfortune as anger, or short temper is the lack of thoughtfulness and patience, and lack of thoughtfulness brings misfortune.' And that's how many lose fortune.

   He realize that the day he drop his gold coins was not a day of misfortune, the night he threw away the black stone was not a night of misfortune or lose either but a chance of fortune because he can always make his mind and find the stone to get more riches, to be a fortunate man.
   Therefore, he quickly closed his shop and went to the labour and asked, "Did a traveller visited you my friend?"
   "Yeah!"
   "Was it true? Is he a truthful man?"
   "Yeah!"
   "So, from now on you will live in a bungalow, right?"
   "Yeah!"
   "I threw away a big one. I'll come back to you, I may need you to give me his contact number. Ok?"
   "My friend, I am still your old friend and I haven't changed. You are always welcome as a friend."
   "Thank you my friend. Yeah, you are a good friend and I see you have not changed your good attitude. I'm really sorry to have forgotten you, please forgive me."
   "It's okay my friend. Go with peace and love, and never lose that again. That's the most precious and important thing in life to posses my friend. Wish you luck and God be with you," replied the labour to his old friend.
   The merchant give deep thanks to his good old friend, as he realized the most precious and important thing in life, and rushed home.
   'Nature teaches us good things in life, and if we are wise, if we are thoughtful and willing we may understand it and benefit from it.'
 
    When he reached home, he related his story to his wife and children, and look for the stone persistently. After all it is worth hundreds of millions than his gold coins which he had sought it persistently last night. And it would be worth a search even if he had to give many days to find it.

   ‘Fortune comes after misfortune. And the misfortune we thought always comes to be the beginning of fortune.'

A Mail Interview with Lisa Scullard

  I am glad to have Lisa Scullard, a budding author from UK in my blog. She has been helpful to me and is still willing to work with me as a good friend. We met on one of a kind writers' community called authonomy.com and continues to extend our friendship beyond it.

   Instead of me writing about Lisa Scullard it would be better to learn about her from her own words, so let me get straight to the point. When I learned from her that all books for proof has reached to her, I thought I should give a place and make a special post for my friend in my blog. Then I mailed her, and as a friend we both agree to do a mail interview as below:

   How long do you take to write each book?

   It takes me between six months to ten months to write a book, between 120 thousand to 250 thousand words. I have written one shorter book of only 50 thousand words, that took six weeks. I was very inspired though and finished it quickly.

   Do you publish them all at once, or one by one after you finished writing each one of them?

   My first book I published straight after writing, "The Terrible Zombie Of Oz". It's a parody based on L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz". I enjoyed publishing so much that I immediately published two more books that I had already written earlier - "Living Hell" an adventure/mystery for older teenagers, and "Death & The City" for fans of chick lit and crime, such as 'Bridget Jones' and 'American Psycho'. I published them in paperback on Createspace, meaning they are now listed on Amazon, and in hardback on www.lulu.com - "Death & The City" was such a long book that I had to publish it as two books in the paperback version - Death & The City: Book One, and Book Two. I also published them as eBooks on Amazon Kindle. I'm very pleased how they turned out. My next books I will publish one at a time as I finish writing each one, now I have found how easy it is.

   While you writes your books, do you support yourself or by someone?

   I support myself - I am quite lucky to always find work. Sometimes during studying I also wrote, but my classwork probably suffered as a result! :)

   If you supported yourself, what work do you do? How many hours do you give to writing?

   Mostly I have worked part-time, in various jobs - in the past I have been a bartender in a biker bar, a motorcycle maintenance mechanic, a machining engineer making body-piercing jewellery, a carer for people with disabilities, a nightclub security guard ("bouncer"), and a hospital nursing assistant. At the moment I do some hospital work, and some computer administration and proofreading - mostly the computer work. I like to write for between four to seven hours a day when working on a novel.

   What is the greatest difficulty you overcome in your journey to be an author?

It's very solitary work, which is nice at times - I can enjoy my garden, enjoy the peace and quiet, listen to music that I love - but it can be lonely, and sometimes I forget to get food when the shops are open :) But I think the hardest thing is to overcome my 'writing ego' which tries to sabotage my ideas by wanting to make something more important out of my work and my life.

   Do you have any message in your book for your readers? What is the goal of your book? Entertain the people or whatever?

   I write for entertainment, definitely. I also want to share the things I've learned, the insights I've had and the things I've seen. Even if they only make sense in my own mind, I'd like to show people what the world looks like and sounds like from inside my mind. One day my mind will go away, and I had lots of strange experiences and thoughts that I didn't share with anyone - so it's a record of my memories, and things I found funny as well. One day I might need to read it all to remember who I am, so maybe that part is more for me than anything else :)

   I believe every author writes according to their experiences, so do you feel the same way? Does your book have some relation to your experiences? I mean do you pour your experiences into your book?

   Yes, definitely. I've worked in some unusual jobs for a woman, like security guard, mechanic - that kind of thing - so I like to share the experiences for people who might not have any idea what these jobs are really like. But also all the psychological experiences I have, the things my brain has done at times - maybe I want to help people who want to understand themselves more when their own minds seem to wander or have a life of their own. Having understood it and tolerated it in my own mind, I feel a bit of responsibility to share the experience.

   What makes and inspires you to become a writer and when?

   I start with an idea that fascinates me, makes me laugh and that I think about more and more. Then I have to write it down as it develops into a storyline and characters, players in the scenario. Early on there has to be a lot of humour in the idea that keeps me entertained while planning it - later it may develop more serious aspects as well, like in "Death & The City" which is about contract killers getting cleaned up by a mystery organisation, known only as 'head office'. I can get these ideas at any time out of nowhere - I don't have to go looking for stories, they usually occur to me from tiny meaningless things like place names, bits of misheard conversation, or the way a person dresses - my imagination fires up and I can tell myself a whole new story instantly. If it's good and I want to keep the story going, I go and write it down.

   Are you single? And if you are, how will you answer if unexpected people asked you on a date? And, will you tell us more about yourself?

   I'm currently single, yes :) Actually I haven't had a relationship yet. I decided to wait for the right man early on, just haven't met him yet. I have been on blind dates before, through dating sites or introductions, but not connected with anyone that way so far. I'm not sure how I would react to an unexpected invitation to go on a date, it would depend how unexpected. I think after friendship first, perhaps it would be a nice surprise.

   I have one child from a holiday romance years ago, who is the most important person in my life and keeps me in the real world. As well as writing, I like creative arts, and I draw, knit, sew, customise dolls and re-design clothes. I love movies and music, and this year I took up hula-hooping - but I need a lot of practise to get good at it!

   Okay, then what advice will you give to those who want to follow the same road - to be a writer and author?

   Always use your own best ideas, and be yourself - not like other authors or celebrities. Your own success is waiting for you to find it. You just have to be brave, and write what you most appreciate yourself, until you are your own favourite author above all others :) Write all the time. And good luck!

   Thank you for the interview, and I wish you all the luck and best.

   Thus the interview is this much but let me tell you a little more about Lisa Scullard. She is 39 years old, currently living in New Forest, Hampshire, UK.
   Voodoo-spice.blogspot.com is Lisa Scullard's blog and one of her clickable book cover with link to all her books and author page on amazon is below:

  

Love Marriage: What Everyone Should Know

   Why are there so many broken marriages – divorces or separations?  What is a true marriage of love?

   We may blame other things or reason for broken marriage, but it is always the result of incomplete love marriage, yeah, it is always a lack of love.

   A broken marriage is always painful to one or the other and can affect the life of one or the other, even children if children had been born. Therefore, before one tie a knot, one should make one’s mind to love forever and never break a marriage. For that, one needs to know what really a true love marriage is, then be careful and choose the best and the most one wants among millions of people on earth.

   Most of us, if not all, believe in a notion that marriage which resulted after relationship or friendship is love marriage. But if we count on such marriage, there are so many stories that do not have a happy ending, which ends up in divorce, separation or for the worst, committed homicide or suicide.

   There are many acclaim love marriage but ends up cheating, hurting and divorce or separation. This shows that such marriage is not a love marriage but a short term marriage of like and desire, because love does not cheat, hurt or divorce. Such marriage is just marriage between someone who like and desire one another but not loved.

   It is not wrong to marry someone one like and desire, but it is wrong to marry for a short time or to divorce. If one marries whom one like and desire one should also give love or else never marries. Like and desire does not last for marriage but love does.

   Marriage is not a small issue, and if it is broken it can spoiled the life of one or the other, even children. Therefore, one should love or continue to love whom one married.

   There is always love in a true love marriage or else it would not be called love marriage. Therefore, we are now certain that when there is love in marriage it is called love marriage no matter how one married – arranged marriage, marriage after relationship or friendship or sudden marriage.

   If a marriage is of love, it always and will always last till the end, a life time. And, in love marriage, there are no discordance, lies, cheats, adulteries, unforgiving but harmony, faithfulness, care, tender and forgiveness because love is such things.

   If there is harmony, faithfulness, care, tender and forgiveness, will there be any divorce or separation? No, not at all. Therefore, we are certain that love marriage consists of love, and it can never be removed because love is the heart of love marriage or else it is not love marriage.

   Marriage does not happen only once in the church or on the day one tie the knots but it happen everyday until there is a divorce, separation or until one or the other dies. The day one tie the knot is just the beginning, or the first step of marriage. Likewise, love marriage begins when there is love in marriage and ends if there is no more love. Therefore, any marriage that does not consist of love or that ends up in divorce or separation cannot be called love marriage as love marriage last a life time.

   Whatever we may call that ends a marriage; it is nothing more than a lack of love in marriage. It is this lack of love that brought pains in every aspect of life, not only in a married life.

   With love everything will resume in its place, and there is no place for anything that we blame for the cause of divorce, separation or all bad things, nor there will be divorce, separation, etc. Therefore, love is necessary to make love marriage alive, and to be a master in love, we all need to know what really love is and what’s not or what mistaken love is. And this things I have written and posted on this blog.

Is having children the right and good choice in this modern world and times? What about the population of the world?

   Jesus said this to the daughters of Jerusalem before he died in the cross, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, “Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!” (Luke 23: 28, 29)    And in other place He also said this, “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”

   If we deeply think about these, we realize that, or if we pray to God for understanding as we give our mind to understand these verses He will make us realize that they are deeply related. And it require us to enquire to Him for more understanding.

   And as we enquire we must read the previous and after verses. If we did we realize that He was talking of the troubles which will come before the end of the world.
   Then, do I mean the end of the world is coming?
   This will answer best,

   200yrs before, in 1804 there is only around one billion of population in this world but after 200yrs, in 20^th century, the population of the world jump to more than (1x6)six billions. And it is certain, that, if men continue to give birth in that rate the world will soon be overflowed with population of man. Yes, it is clear that if population continue to grow in that rate the world will be (6x6)36 billions in another 200yrs, and Just imagine how hard would the world of 36 billions of population be. And what if the world did not end but continue with increasing population?

   Over population will leads to economical and environmental destruction as it already begun. Though there may be many reason for price hike, but the strongest factor is nothing but population.

   It is because of population that the world lost its forest land which is a very important factor for climate and rivers. Yes, it leads to global warming.
   We can't stop price hike, global warming, etc. unless we stop populating and protect the environment and grow more trees. If we control population, we control the prices of goods and many other things.
   But if population continues to grow at this rate the forest land of the world would quickly be gone, likewise agricultural land would quickly be gone for residence and other purposes, prices will increase, etc., and that means surely environment and economic destruction.

   The world is like a glass and man like water. If water is continuously poured into a glass it would overflow, likewise, if birth continue to pour into this risky world the world would be overflowed with man if Nature don't intervene or make another way. And, if it is overflowed with man undoubtedly there would be an increase in crime, poverty and destruction which is beyond control as hunger and famine would sweep the world, for the production of agriculture would not be enough to supply all the need of the population and it would be too expensive for the average people.

   Therefore, there could be no peace but everyone fighting for their, stomach, survival and even the money, or richness of the rich will not have value, or will not save them, (therefore, now is the time for them to save  themselves and their children and money, so that wealth may continue to have value, by helping the poor and by putting their mind and money for the salvation of the world) And, there would be trouble between siblings, family and family, tribe and tribe, nation and nation fighting for survival, and one would like to terminate all the others for his survival, and destructive weapons could be employed which can even end the world.

   So, if we don't want to send our children in that place and time, if we really love our unborn children and want to save them from the future troubles there is reason not to give birth but make onself barren from now, for if we do not do now how can we do later after we have children.

   But, God would not allow the world to end in that way, by it's own hand. So, when He says it is time He will pour His Spirit to those who love truth, who open their heart to truth - who are willing to accept and live every of His commandments, who reform and prepare in Him - who is bornagain and He will finish, spreading His words, His work on earth and send His Son Jesus Christ to deliver His faithful children and establish His eternal kingdom.

   But, before that, before Jesus Christ come God's children, the followers of Jesus, who keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus (see Matthew 19: 16-21, Revelation 12: 17, 14:12) would have to flee as Jesus have said, “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.”

   Since, we don't know the time when we are going to flee, we must prepare from now by not being pragnant or having children. If we do not prepare by now how can we prepare when the time comes? How can the pragnant or nursing babies make themselves not pragnant or not nurse babies after they were already pragnant or nurse babies in that day?

   Therefore, it is certain that to be not pregnant and nurse babies in those days we must make ourselves barren from now, for, we know not the time when those days will come, but one thing we know is that we must prepare and be always ready for the great troubles of the world to come and the coming of our Blessed Saviour Jesus Christ.(Matthew 24: 44)

   Anyway, if we really love our unborn children we will not like or want to bring them in, in this hard and risky world, though we really desire to see them, where we can give no guarantee that they will overcome every temptation, or battle, that they will chose the path of Truth, even if we equip them with the best weapon, even if we teach them the greatest wisdom. Even God doesn't give us guarantee but wants the decision of man.

   But, we can give guarantee that our children will not go to hell if we do not bring them in in this risky world. That means we can save our children lives from eternal death.

   How can we say that we love our children if we send or put them in a risky, position, place? Can a parent who fear God who love their children send or put their children in risky place?
   The answer is easy and short, “No”

   Of course if we really love our unborn children we will not bring them in in this hard and risky world and send or put them to the great troubles to come where there will be woes for the pregnant and those who nurse babies.
   This is love, the action of love. Indeed, This is the deepest, or greatest love a mother or a father can do, or give to their yet unborn child, or children.

   We, human, just want to have children just because we ‘desire’ to see, hold, love and care them but that is not love, that is not because of loving them but ‘desire’.
   We must give up our desire to bring our children in in this world, for, it is to save their lives. By giving up our desire, the desire to have children, we can save them(our children).
   How can we call it love if we bring our children in, in this hard and risky world, just because we desire to see, hold and have them, how can we call it love if we put our children in a hard and risky place.
   Of course, as the world approach its end it will be harder and harder to live in this world until the great trials, troubles and tribulation comes as written in Matthew 24 and Revelation 16.

   If one have love, if one love his, born or unborn, children he will care and deeply consider their future and destiny, of course, not only the destiny of his children but his children’s children and so on, indeed, his generations to come,because every child born from ones children, or children’s children is his offspring and he must love and care for them and their future.
   Certainly, A generation, big or small, is born from one, indeed, all the nations of the world is born from one. Likewise, it is obvious, that, a huge multitude, a large generation can born from us.

   If one have love he would never want, his generation, his children, not even one to go to hell. And the best way, the only way to save them is not to have a single child. If we cannot give guarantee that our children will chose the path of truth even if we teach them the greatest wisdom how can we give guarantee of our children’s children, our offspring?
   Remember, God doesn’t want even one to perish.(Matthew 18: 6, 14)

   The destiny of our, children, generations, yes, the lives of, thousands, many lies in our hands now, in our decision and God wants our decision. Therefore, we should, take decision, not bring even one of our child in this risky, place, world.
   It's all about choice. To have children or not, to be among the woes in those days or not. Indeed, it's our choice.

   If we want to have children because we love, not because we desire to see and hold, them we will love and care them before they are born and consider the environment and their destiny, we will consider everything for them before we have them, before they are born, for, love is thoughtful, love is care, love consider, love is, selflessness, unselfishness, or unselfloveness. And if we deeply consider this world we will realize that it is not worthy place to bring our children in and we can't give any guarantee that they will follow the path of Truth till death.

   Therefore, it is a complete selfish, or selflove act and there is no love at all if one brings his child in in this, risky, dangerous world, after having great knowledge, without caring the future, or desitny of his children and their children(his offspring) to come but just because he desire to see, hold or have them.

   If saving lives is our responsibility in the Lord, this is true and sound in the Lord, that, making oneself barren by choice because of the love of our children and generations is an action of saving lives, many lives. indeed, it is an action of love.

   Of course, if we really love, other, to save other’s life we will not bring our children in in this world and we will also tell others not to bring their children in in this world to save their children’s life and we will spread the gospel and live and die for God. Yes, this is true love, the greatest actions of love.

   And, we are not in a time in which we can have children and be leisure around but to work diligently for God, for, the coming of our Blessed Saviour is near, very near. Remember, we are, really, in the last of the times.

   How can we call ourselves or be the children of God who is full of love, if we don’t pre consider the future of our children, if we don’t care them, if we don’t love, or have no love for our own children?

   When one have no children he have more time and resource for God to save other and their children who are orphan or not, to save the world.
    Yes, we must care the orphans, for, the true follower of Jesus must exceed the world in doing righteous act. Loving and looking after children or orphan children who need love and care like our children is a work, or mission of God.

   How can we call ourselves or be the followers of Jesus if we don’t love, or have no love for other like Him Our blessed Saviour Jesus Christ.
   The one who have no love for, or cannot love children like Jesus is not worthy to enter the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 25: 41.45)

   When one have no children he have less trouble and responsibility, and more time for God, he don’t have to worry, for the need of his children, for treasure to inherit to his children, he has the freedom to freely give his possession, or treasures, to help those who need help in the name of God, to support the spreading of the Gospel, to the Church for the glory of God.

   And, those who already have children must have no more children and must also teach their children not to have children but to love God and to love other and their children.
   If one have children after knowing this, he is the one who love his desires more than his children. Therefore, he is not worthy to follow Jesus unless he, repent and reform, is bornagain.

   If one says if God will, I will have children and if He doesn’t will I will not have. Then this will be appropriate for him to understand, Do we say ‘If God will, I will eat food and if He doesn’t will, I will not’ or do we say ‘If God will I will fast and if He doesn’t will, I will not fast’
   It's our choice.
   There are things which God trust us in our hands, which we must do as we will eg. Like to eat food or fast likewise to have children or not.
    Whether to eat food or not or to fast or not is depend upon our decision likewise whether to have children or not depends upon our decision. And we must take decision for good, for saving lives, for the glory of God.

   But, this doesn’t mean that, if God command us to eat or to do anything we have the privilege to disobey Him. We must obey whatever He command us, we must always have willingness, willingness to accept and live every of His word, and we must never lose that.
   And now, it is time not to have children but pray that our flight may not be in winter nor Sabbath, for, Jesus have warned us and the great tribulation is very near “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.”
   Luke 23: 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, “Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breast which never nursed!” 

   Everyone may not be barren by birth, but on the days to come blessed will be the barren by birth and the barren by choice, no matter whether one is barren by birth or choice. The more blessed will be those who never defile themselves to woman nor lie but keep themselves completely holy for God.

   Decision taken to be barren to save lives is a decision of love.
   The decision which we take now decide our future and the future of our children or unborn children.

   How can we send our children to a place, where we ourselves feels hard to travel, where we can give no guarantee for ourselves, that, we will achieve or reached the Goal of the path of Truth, where our strength has no power except the Strength of God, where we sometimes or many times lose faith upon God.

   How can a father or mother who really love their children sends their children to the jungle in the dark night, where ghost, fairies, wolves or dangerous wild animals filled the land, to frighten them, tempt them away from the path of Truth, and eat or kill them before they reached The Cross, actually, the darkness is also enough to get lost.

   When we don’t bring our children in in this world, if we don’t give birth, we can give one firm guarantee that ‘they will not enter hell, or be burn in hell at all.
   But if we give birth, if we bring our children in in this world we can give no guarantee at all.

   The moment whoever accept these things love not only his child at the deepest but also is free from the danger of the prophecy told by Jesus “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”

   Remember if you really want children, in Jesus every children the age of your child are your children.

   Therefore it is certain that having children is not the right and good choice in this modern world and times.
   But, it's our choice, it's all about choice to be made.

What is love? How to love?

   The love of God(or our love to God as God love us) which comes from, the heart, truthful heart which is from or the result of conscious decision is true love and others are mistaken as love but they are desire, thought, or intense thought. Yes, we human being married each other because we have natural desire, if we have no natural desire marriage would have no existence.

   And, the love of God resulted in loving fellowmen.

   Love which comes from the heart of conscious is willing and ready to sacrifice, peace, sympathy, forgive, recorrect, or reform, give freely, and aid, or help. Love, which comes from the heart of consciousness, resulted in action, good deeds, or act of righteous. And this love, this heart of love can be obtain, through practice in Jesus Christ, by overcoming one’s sinful heart in Jesus Christ and replacing it with, or establishing, His character, His love which He had lived and preached.

   Let us look at Jesus Christ, by reading and thinking, or concentrating about Him, who overcome, Evil, Satan not only in His heart but also in real, in the wilderness, towns and in the cross on earth which is the kingdom of Satan. And He rebuilt, the beauty of man, the love of God in man on earth which Satan has destroyed. And whoever accepts Him, Jesus Christ, is a new creation in Him, indeed, the love of God(which has nodiscrimination, which love even enemies, which is in Him(Jesus)) is newly created in him.
   Yes, He teaches us what is the love of God and, how we should respond God, how we should love God by teaching us in practical, by being an example for us, by sacrificing for us in the cross. Yes, Jesus is our lesson. He is love, He is the way to God, He is truth, He is life, and we must learn from Him.

   God declare His love to us through our Saviour Jesus Christ. He declare to us that He love us till death and even death will not win, defeat, or overcome His love, even death will not deter His love but His love will overcome death. Indeed, it does, Jesus is the proof. And His love for us will never pass though the heaven and earth will pass. Jesus Christ has told to us by words and, actions, sacrificing His life in the cross. “Matthew 5: 17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.”
   We must live as Jesus Christ our Saviour live, and die, or sacrifice for God as He sacrifices. That is how we can also declare how much we love God. That is how we should response His love, the love of God.
   We know that Jesus Christ our Saviour obey God His Father and forgive His enemies, teach the words of God His Father and die, or sacrifice for Him, or sacrifice in Him(His Father) for the world.
   So we must forgive our enemies, teach the word of God and do good until death, until they also turn to God, who is our Father because of Jesus Christ our Saviour and sacrifice for Him, or in Him, for, Jesus Christ have forgiven us His enemies and in addition sacrifice for, us, His enemies to save us, so that we can turn to God and live with Him eternally. “Luke 6: 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For he is kind to the unthankful and evil.”

   Because of Him our Saviour we can explain love, that is, love is sacrifice, love is peace, love is grace, love is forgiveness, love is obedience, love is teaching, love is free gift and aid, or help.
   Yes, love sacrifice, love harmonize, love sympathy, love forgive, love obey, love teach, love helps, love reform.

   Indeed, love is action, love is care and affection, of course, love is acts of righteousness. Love does adjust to other with love, yes, according to God.

   Love is a good, thought, attitude toward others, that is, everyone.

   Love is humble, love suffers and sacrifice on this earth and there will be no more suffering in the kingdom of God, and those whoever are worthy to enter and enter the kingdom of God are those who suffers and sacrifice for Him, God Our Father, and they will be called ‘who suffer and sacrifice for God’, for, they overcame by suffering and sacrificing for Him and they are and will be willing and ready to suffer and sacrifice for Him forever. But God will not allow to exist suffering nor allow them, His children, to suffer anymore, and it will not be possible for suffering to exist any more.

   Love has no discrimination, that is, love have no enemy, but only love is everything, truly, love is eternity, of course, Jesus is love and He is life, He is eternity. “John 14: 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.””
   Yes, Jesus is the only way to God, the truth of God and the eternal life, for, He is love. And only form Him we heard, or know the way to God, the truth of God, eternal life. Only from Him we know what is love? What is the greatest action of love and how to love. From Him we know the word and love of God His Father who is our Father because of Him. “John 15: 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” “John 15: 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”
   “Matthew 22: 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
   “Matthew 5: 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. 42 give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. 43 You have heard that it was said, ‘You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 That you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
   “Matthew 6: 1 Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.”
   “Luke 6: 31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.”
   “Luke 6: 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For he is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.”


   This(as written here) is the only way to love our fellowmen in Jesus, that is to care, to have sympathy, to forgive, etc. This is the only way to love God. This is the only path to God in Jesus, indeed, through Jesus love is the only way to God.
   This is how we must walk in the light, in the truth. This is how we must have fellowship with God.

   But not everyone who give his life for other will enter heaven. No everyone who love other will enter heaven, for even the lawless people sacrifice and love those who love them.
   But those who sacrifice ones life according to God, those who love according to God will go to heaven but by grace. Yes, those who sacrifice his life for God, those who Love God will enter heaven.
   This is how we must love God, by keeping His ten commandments. "John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments."
   Those who are bornagain that is those keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus will enter His Kingdom. (Matthew 19: 16 - 21, John 3: 3, Revelation 12: 17, Revelation 14: 12)

   According to God, the greatest and most important action of love is to keep the greatest and most important commandments which Jesus have said, that is or means ‘to love God with all our heart, soul and mind’, and the second is loving other. And, that two is the Ten commandments of God. And, in that hangs, or that contains, the Ten Commandments of God, all the Law and the Prophets.
   If we love God with all our heart, soul and mind we will keep His commandments and the commandments of Jesus Christ who He sent, and also the word of His prophets including E. G. White, who He have sent, and also His prophet who He will send, or is going to send to us.
   Yes, the Ten commandments of God includes all the Law and the Prophets(which includes His prophet of the last of the time E. G. White and the one to come), for, they will no speak against it but according to it.
   “Matthew 22: 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great commandment.” 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
   And whoever keeps the commandments of God really loves God.
   Yes, whoever keep the commandments of Jesus Christ which is written in Matthew 28: 19, 20, whoever make disciples and baptize and teach to keep the commandments of God, or tell, or preach the gospel of Jesus Christ truly loves God and Jesus Christ with all his heart, soul and mind, therefore, God and Jesus will love him and He, Jesus, will manifest to him, for, He have said so - “John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

   Without love one is nothing but, love is not a parade, or display nor does it display. Love is not a play.
   “1 Corinthians 13: 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.”
   “1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 Does not rejoices in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease whether there is knowledge. It will vanish away.”

   If we love God with all our heart we will not do acts of righteousness before men but we will do it(for the glory of God) in secret, for, He command us through Jesus. And we will not say to other nor remember it so that it can be in secret. Yes, Jesus have command us, “Matthew 6: 1 Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. 5 And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”
   This verses means a lot. So, let us pray for, understanding, wisdom of God, His Holy spirit and learn His word and concentrate.

   If we are to do acts of righteousness in secret husband and wife should also do their action, tender touch, like kissing, etc. in secret though they are not acts of righteousness but acts between married.
   If one display tender touch, or affection, or love in public or if one have an intention to parade, or display, his affection, his love it is disgusting in the eyes of God. A display of tender touch, or affection, or love in public is no more tender touch, or affection, or love(because, love cares, or love love everyone) but proudful or shameless act or thoughtless, exaggerating or unnecessary act.
   Married or unmarried who display their love intentionally or carelessly in public have received their reward and have no more reward from God except His punishment of proudful or shameless act or thoughtless, exaggerating or unnecessary act.

   Did not Married or unmarried have time at all to express or tell how much they love? Do they not marry because they love each other? Did not married couple have time as a husband or wife to tell their love to each other?

   Let us remember, Love works in time, love respond in time.
   And Love do not remember the, good deed, acts of righteousness which he have done.
   Love is not inconsiderate but consederateful, or thoughtful. Love, or those who have love think and care for not only loved ones but others, the people around, that includes even enemies. And they, who have love, also eat, the fruit, the blessing of love.
   Love is not thoughtless but thinks for far away and for everyone. Yes, love is not foolish, but wise, not limit but comprehensive and unfathomable.
   Love neglect no one at all, so, we must love God and love others – everyone – in the Him, for love is for all.
   If we are not to neglect, our brother or enemy, no one at all but love, then, how much should a married couple be careful in living a married life before, or among other, for, they must not love only each others but also care and love others in the Lord.
   If married care, yes, love others in the Lord as they love each other they would not perform acts(small or big) which exist between married couple, for, they care, yes, love others as much as themselves.
   But if they display or do before other, then, it would be abnormal, unrespectful or careless activity.

   So, if we love God and care and love other, the children of God, the follower of Jesus Christ would not do proudful and shameless act, or abnormal, unrespectful, thoughtless, or careless exaggerating, or over and unnecessary acts, like kissing in public, before other. If one display love, if one do such things it will even hurt more those who are lonely, if they are around.
   If it is to leave our husband, wife or loved one far away, handshake and bidding goodluck with hand is normal, or simple but good and respectful in public. Yes, the children of God, the follower of Jesus Christ must always do which is normal, or simple and good and respectful in the Lord. “Philippians 4: 8 Finally, brethren, what ever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these thing.”

   A true follower of Jesus, the children of, heaven, God would not imitate the acts of the children of the world, the follower of Satan, their sinful acts which grows worser and worser day by day as the world approach its end.
   If love does not neglect anyone then, it is certain that love love his home and the rest, it is certain that love loved not only loved ones but others and surely, even enemies for love is forgiveness. Love is to love everyone.
   Whoever cannot love his brother, or other, or enemies is not or cannot be a follower of Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ is love and love is forgiveness. And, whoever cannot die, or sacrifice for God is not, or cannot be a follower of Jesus Christ at all but Satan, and his place is in hell.

   “Matthew 5: 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?”
   If one say I have love and cannot forgive what love would that be? Are not lawbreakers, or revenge taker also cannot forgive other? Or, if one says I have love but love only those who love him what difference does he have with lawbreakers, what difference does he have with animals?
   Those who cannot forgive have no love at all. He who have no sympathy, or good deeds, or acts of righteous have no love at all but he was or is just living a life which even lawbreakers or animals do.

   A strong man is proofed when he lift extra weight, or when he do extra work which a normal person cannot do.
   Likewise, whether one have love or not is proofed, love is proofed when one forgive while people is doing bad things upon him, when one forgive those who commit adultery, when one forgive his enemy, when one have sympathy upon those who are pitiful, when one help those who need help in the word of God or physical or financial support, when one spread the truth, the commandment of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ, which the people of the world cannot do.

   Therefore, love is when we do not retaliate, or take revenge, when we love our enemy, when we love evil person, when we love those who do mistakes and those who is cruel to us, when we forgive and pray for forgiveness of the sins of those who is bad upon us, love is when we sacrifice, for the Gospel, for God, yes, the greatest action of love is to give one whole life for the, work, glory of God, to give one’s life, to sacrifice for God. Love never say ‘I cannot forgive’ nor ‘I cannot work for God.’

   Therefore, those who already have divorce must also forgive each other and be married again.
   If one have the love of God he or she will forgive in the name of Jesus. And one should forgive in Jesus, whether he repent or not, as God have forgiven us even before we repent but while we are sinning because of Jesus Christ.
   If one is to love his enemies why should he or she not forgive his wife or her husband, why should he or she not love his wife or her husband even if she(his wife) or he sin, they are not even his or her enemy.
   Let us remember what Jesus said to Peter, He told him to forgive seventy times seven. (Matthew 18: 22)
   Lack of forgiveness is a great sin, it is because of the lack of love and this(lack of love) is the greatest sin. God will not forgive those who cannot forgive other in judgment day after He has forgiven us because of Jesus Christ our Blessed Saviour. Yes, God will not love those who cannot love Him and others as He loves us.

   Yes, that is how we must love, and what is love.
  
   So, even if we have nothing in this world but have love we will die rich, for, the grace of God in Jesus Chrsit will be upon us and eternal life and eternal things will awaits us.
