Sincerely, I do not know if you have been here. Though I doubt if you have not but really the issue is not whether you have been here or not but whether you recognize this place for what it is.
An imperfect place is that place where right is not good; it is that place where nature is different from the observed. It is that place that an entrepreneur could arrive at where though he knows he is in the right business but his experience has not been a good one. It is a man looking into the eyes of his wife – the right woman, knowing that though she is right, there is still a lot that is seemingly unpleasant with her. It is the wife weeping over a misbehaving husband that she truly loves. She ... Read more IMPERFECT PLACES

BEAUTIFUL CONSTANCIES
Man: Hello dear, which kind of love would you prefer?

In 1741, Charles Jennens penned the libretto for what he called “the sacred oratorio” and convinced his friend – George Frideric Handel to compose an oratorio for it. In 24 days of back breaking work, the genius – Handel, composed what would become his most known composition, now known simply as Handel’s Messiah.

As individuals and particularly as believers in God, we live with a certain kind of expectancy, of knowledge that God had destined us for great things. We know, like Abraham, that often, the details of His calling would be revealed in different seasons; and like him, we hope to make good our callings.
In the Lord’s prayer, we find a summation of our vocation – the things that God expects of us:

To Seek His Kingdom – i.e. to do His Will
To forgive (love) and
To pray
These things summarise the entirety of what should be our preoccupation and great men in God’s sight are judged by how well they fared on these pillars. For ... Read more
