'On That Day, Hate Became Love.'

Today, Women of Faith and Hope, let us look upon ourselves as a tree planted beside the water. I love this quote by St Margaret Mary, “Look upon yourself as a tree planted beside the water. Which bears its fruit in due season, the more it is shaken by the wind, the deeper it strikes it’s roots into the ground.” On this adventure journey, I wanted to plant some free seeds I received from the Ipswich Council on Mother’s Day and I wanted to incorporate this into our journey as a symbol of Love. Let us plant our seeds, nourish it and watch it grow into something beautiful. A video and more pictures to come.

Love no matter what. Love is free, there is no price tag on love. Forgiveness is a choice, process and it takes time to rebuild a love that can be true, for there is always a reason, will and heart in love. As Women of God, always desire to be an example and model as an open-hearted generous person, just as God is generous with us. Give, without expecting anything in return, when it comes to love, there are no limits or expectations. No matter how tired, exhausted or busy we can be, always have the time to stop and give your attention, time, love, hopes, faith and dreams. Love is a give and take, it’s hard work, it’s a team effort. Love is the greatest, why give up on the one thing you have always needed? Who wouldn’t fight for love? Love will prevail and conquer in the end.

What would be convenient? Is if you tried to give me your time, your love, your hopes, your faith and your dreams. I want to believe because you believe. However, if you say, you know Jesus, you haven’t drifted away from the church or you know the meaning of life, your life. How can you ignore someone? How can you think it’s ok not to acknowledge or to disregard someone’s need for spiritual help, guidance? Why do you only reply when it’s convenient for you? Why do you take an invitation for coffee as a threat or think, strings attached? A simple yes or no would suffice. Love is not your enemy, love is your friend, your confidant.  Jesus is love, Jesus is the truest Leader of the church, Jesus does acknowledge and will listen with the ear of the heart, Jesus is the meaning of our life, our journey in this lifetime, if that is not true than you should have decided to walk away a long time ago.

‘Hate was so angry and frustrated with the world, so jealous, envious with friends, family and to anybody who crossed or walked on the same path. One day, Hate decided to go for a walk, as Hate was walking, the sun was shining so bright. Hate, couldn’t take it until a gush of wind came travelling up behind and whispered, “I am love, I am your heart’s desire and your home.” On that day, Hate became Love and Love, loved with all their heart, with all their mind and with all their strength. Love knew the way, the life and the truth.’
