The Perfection in Love

Product Information

The real world has lots of incidental details, so a painting also has to have that element of imperfection and irregularity, those incidental details." Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude ~ Colin Powell

Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence ~ Colin Powell There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love. Much as perfection is an admirable goal, it remains elusive and unattainable. Therefore, it’s advisable not to obsess over it so much. Verse 17 tells us how to have something everybody wants to have. And verse 18 tells us how to get rid of something everybody wants to get rid of. Confidence Before God Trying to be both mainline and Methodist is a deadly combination. In fact, it's a leading cause for the denomination's spiritual and numerical decline.

To sum up verse 17, we can paraphrase it like this: when you love each other with love that is more than just talk, when the love of God reaches its practical goal of action in your life, you will experience a deep and unshakable confidence before God. Much talk of love with few deeds of love destroys assurance. We’ve all experienced this from time to time. Our conscience condemns us because we think of deeds of love and don’t do them.If a man should happen to reach perfection in this world, he would have to die immediately to enjoy himself. ― Josh Billings OOP profile: “It is important to me that other people do things perfectly. People complain that I expect too much of them but I expect people close to me, like my friends or family, to be perfect. I believe that everything that other people do should be flawless.” Our peace and confidence are to be found not in our empirical holiness, not in our progress toward perfection, but in the alien righteousness of Jesus Christ that covers our sinfulness and alone makes us acceptable before a holy God.” Donald Bloesch

Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretense ~ Marcus Aurelius Newlyweds (a year) Henry and Oyin are loving their married life and each other. Their time as a couple is sweet and fulfilling and they truly are happy. Until others come to stay with them awhile. If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn’t be anything for us to do. ― George Bernard Shaw Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. Everyone think that their love should be like movies where both the Romeo and Juliet loves each other. But the reality is every love is single sided. No two bodies can attract each other if they don’t have anything common between them.The true genius shudders at incompleteness — imperfection — and usually prefers silence to saying the something which is not everything that should be said." A separate study found that people in love have much lower activity in their frontal cortex – an area of the brain crucial to reason and judgment – when they thought of their loved one. Scientists have speculated an evolutionary reason for this which could be termed the “beer goggles” theory: the suspension of reason makes coupling, and hence procreation, far more likely. So all in love is fair – regardless of sexual orientation? Strong's 3756: No, not. Also ouk, and ouch a primary word; the absolute negative adverb; no or not. The Perfection in Love depicts the love story of the fairly newly married couple Oyin and Henry. The novel does not only stay there but moves on to deal with how challenging marriage and love can be. At first I thought it would be from a perspective of rose tinted glass, however, it does more: it depicts love and marriage, warts and all.
