LIVING LIFE IN LOVE | KAIROS GLOBAL | PILOT ISSUE | 2017

When I acknowledged God’s love and chose Him to be my first priority, my life

transformed over the years from a workaholic to a Christ centered life. I

can feel that God is part of every single thing that’s going on in me

and my family’s lives Today I get up each and every day with strength

and determination that I share with others; the same God’s love

that I experience each moment in my life. Praise be to Jesus!!!!

Love is a free gift; freely given and freely received.

I have come across this particular description of love

so many times thatit's engraved in my mind. I have to

be free to choose love and hence it's a

choice. It's a decision too, not merely

a feeling. Hence out of my free choice,

I decide to Love and even when faced

with trials.I started experiencing

anew the grace required to Love

more recently after I became a wife

and mother. Everyday brings new

surprises and challenges and I have

more opportunities to Love. Thus what

started out as an experience of Gods

Love, became a deeper understanding

when I was taught how to Love and

now it has become more of a daily

reality. This lived experience seems far

more enduring than the Love based on

feelings alone.

The awesome and empowering love of God which

I receive a new and fresh everyday (Rom 5:5) through

my prayer and sacramental life, propels me to respond,

to reciprocate to God and to my neighbour.

As the love of the Father and Son love begets the

Holy Spirit, so also the love between my spouse and me

overflows into our children and all whom we meet.

There is a natural motivation to be more loving, kind,

patient and merciful at all times. Obviously, we fall short

on many occasions but Our Lord who is ever faithful

lifts us up and renews our strength to walk again on this

journey of Love.

I used to struggle a lot in this area – to love myself

& others for years until I realized that my calling

primarily is to love, not to be loved. I understood the

key to loving myself & others – not to judge anyone.

It took some years for me to understand this and now

I am at peace with myself & others. The only one who

loves me as I am is God the father and now I am able

to be myself before him without any shame or guilt just

because he doesn’t judge me but loves unconditionally

This conviction enabled me to love myself & others

without being much judgmental.
