TRUE LOVE III (Love that sets free)

 Joas is now a renewed person. He is now living in the present. He sees reason to live. He no more wish going down with the dead. He lives in the world with hope and trust in that father whose love is unconditional, faithful, enduring. Joas is a happy person now, thanks to Tilia who changed him. Joas now believes that:

. "Love is a great thing, 

a good above all others, which alone

maketh every heavy burden light,

 and equaliseth every inequality.

For it beareth the burden and maketh it no burden, 

it maketh every bitter thing to be sweet

 and of good taste. The surpassing

love of Jesus impelleth to great works,

 and exciteth to the

continual desiring of greater perfection.

 Love willeth to be raised up,  

and not to be held down by any mean thing.

 Love willeth to be free and aloof from all worldly affection, 

lest its inward power of vision be hindered,

 lest it be entangled by any

worldly prosperity or overcome by adversity.

 Nothing is sweeter than love,

 nothing stronger, nothing loftier, 

nothing broader,

nothing pleasanter, 

nothing fuller or better in heaven nor on earth, 

for love was born of God 

and cannot rest save in God above

all created things." (Imitation of Christ, BK. III; 5:3)

Tilia is so much glad that Joas is now positive about live and reality of love. Joas encounter with Tilia is setting him apart, unique and adding to his glory. She has done a nice job so far but, never relent in following him up with prayers...(continue)

Be Lovely! Be Pleasant! Be Unique!
