Let me ask you:

are you a Christian?

I saw a beautiful photo of Saint Mary.

I think that every person can carry the beautiful

"Real Love"

as the most beautiful flower in his or her heart.

And then I think of the song:

"Christ (real love) lives in me"

Do you actually know that song?

my wife Hannah introduced me

to lsm.org in 2006

and it still makes us want to be together,

even though she is now paralyzed

on her left hand

and arm and has great difficulty walking

When I go there.

As soon as I am able,

I want to be with my wife

and take care of her...

I became a Christian myself in 2006

in a miraculous way

without predecessors

and through actually the study

of some Chinese

who were touched

by the real love of the word

and gave me a good explanation.

Now for me God, Jesus or Holy Spirit is

the same as "Real Love".

Yes, and romance

is still not described in the Bible
and I find that in human expressions
of 4 different forms of art
all 4 of which end in
the mystery of human life on earth

Christ liveth in me

1
Once far from God and dead in sin,
No light my heart could see;
But in God’s Word the light I found,
Now Christ liveth in me.
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.

2
As rays of light from yonder sun,
The flow’rs of earth set free,
So life and light and love come forth
From Christ living in me.

3
As lives the flow’r within the seed,
As in the cone the tree,
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace,
His Spirit dwelleth in me.

4
With longing all my heart is filled,
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That Christ liveth in me.

A divine, romantic story

but on April 16, 2024, after reading our morning watch, my brother Aad drew my

attention to a romantic song

1

There is a great mystery,
A wonderful story;
For ages ’twas hidden,
Now shown in His wisdom;
’Tis a divine romance
Of God and man in time;
Beyond understanding,
Yet seen in God’s speaking. 

Chorus:

God fell in love with man;
For only God’s love can
Make man just the same as He
In life and in nature.
We are His expression,
His bride, His enlargement;
Forever, together,
As living, insep’rable as one couple
Eternally.

2

Though He was rejected
By men who were blinded;
His love is constraining,
His heart still unchanging;
Thus in incarnation
Came He as salvation;
His name is called Jesus,
And He came to seek us.

3

Though born as a sinner,
His blood has redeemed me.
He suffered on Calv’ry,
Then raised up in glory,
To regenerate me.
Now joined in one spirit
I love to enjoy Him,
For I’ve been forgiven!

4

His love is so tender,
To Him I’ll surrender;
His name is so precious,
I gladly call, “Jesus!”
His Person’s so charming,
My heart ever winning;
I’ll hold back no longer,
I’ll love Him forever.
