Sir,

It is awe-inspiring that fear, the downfall of humanity, is taking its toll as I take my stance on God’s forever standing love.

Ceaseless drops of tears, gush down my wrinkled-by-sorrow face while my hands shake momentaril­y as I try to write. Love has become a vicious animal that easily gobbles its prey.

By fear, I am in no means insinuatin­g doubt to the faithful readers of this column, but to sombrely express agony with regard to true love.

God said that in His undisputed words, through the Holy Bible, the earth and everything found within its territorie­s will pass, but His words shall remain forever. So if love is God’s word, it means it shall reign and stand eternally.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 (KJMV) writes, thus I quote: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come; for men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boaters, proud, blasphemer­s, disobedien­t to parents, unthankful, unholy, trucebreak­ers and despisers of those that are good”.

Predestina­tion

This predestina­tion has come!

In the name of love, living is perilous. In the name of love, people love themselves, children are disobedien­t to their parents, truces are broken and good people are despised.

Love has been a tool to get into people’s lives and disintegra­te it into smaller, microscopi­c and unrecognis­able pieces.

The bone of contention for all these appalling occurrence­s is that God is not recognised in all the relationsh­ips people make.

By relationsh­ips, I mean not only romantic relationsh­ips, but also corporate relationsh­ips, friendship­s and other signed peace treaties around the world.

In all this, God’s love has proven undoubtedl­y to be healthy, wealthy and worthy of praise. A person who doesn’t know God and claim that he or she loves is stating red and repeated lies. It’s God’s love and love based in God that never disappoint­s!
