A talk with Tyrone, the first brother

It's just right, I should talk to Tyrone to take care of each other. Remember, it's more loving to tell the truth to the poor than to ignore them.

As I enter his room, Tyrone closed his book.

Hey Tyrone.

"What's up?"

Can I see your book?

"Sure."

You ever heard of 'Love one another as I have Loved you?'

"I think so." He said.

Do you get the context?

"Not quite, what is the 'love' that the phrase is talking about?"

God's Love.

A look of confusion, that he gave off.

"Enlighten me, please."

Let's see.

Take it like The Fall (The Beginning of Sin). Although we had sinned against God, He still took us alongside Him.

He gaved us clothing to cover our newly discovered nakeness, and sent us out from the Garden Of Eden in order so that we may not eat the Fruit of Life.

"Why did He took our chance of getting the Fruit of Life away?"

So that we may not break ourselves, yes, we'd live forever if we had eaten it. But we'll live forever broken,

"How would it make us broken though? it's the Fruit of Life after all."

Listen.

Sin causes destruction and suffering; and so if we were to eat the Fruit of Life, we'd suffer for eternity. An eternal life of suffering.

"Wait, wait, so He took that chance because there's a better chance we ought to take; which is-"

Heaven.

God wills of us to live righteously so that we may live the life he intended for us to live.

And, God does not wish to invade our lives. He does not wish to move with us against our will, we ought to be the one who moves with His. Why so? Because it's unloving of Him to do so.

A True God does not wish to seek our demise within our ways, but seeks the best for us so that we may live abundantly, a fruitful life. Though if we were to choose this world over Him, it wouldn't be so loving of Him to take away the world from us so that we may live with him.

And so He grants us tribulations so that we may understand that He is who we need. Althought majority misunderstand it.

But as we all have fallen short of his glory, he didn't give up on us. He gave us his only son,

"that whosoever may believe shall not perish but have eternal life. Right."

"But how does these all connect to Love?"

That's Love, A Love that does not seek our demise but for us to live. A Love that does not invade but asks. A Love that forgives and gives us another chance. A Love that removes things that will kill us in our ways. A love that does not give up.

God calls us to Love one another in that way. Christ calls us to Love one another in that way.

"And your point is?"

I want you to love your brothers in that way, to be faithful in them just as the Lord has been faithful to us. Now you are of no excuse.

We ought to lose one another sooner or later, and if we are lost from the presence of God, we may not live abundantly.

"Thank you, don't die on me."

What makes you think that?

"All these advices, it's like as if you're giving me a goodbye message."

Haha, not quite. But we'll see.
Ponder what I've said, you may lose hang of those words if you don't.

"Thanks. I sure will ponder about this message."
