I was on da pity pot last night(Bday and away from home) and some words came to me that I wrote down and need a little help understanding what It means ..." On the basis of Love and the fear without can push a man away from what he cant see> But to see something he has never known shows that he is truly blind for the love that "is" surrounds him" Now I wrote this while I was sad and alone and after prayer..Somehow I cannot help but think that I got it better than I think but I come to you all to help me see without truly knowing my story. Tear it up and plz if you can find scriptures to benefit me on this plz do so.
 
I am so sorry to hear you did not have a good Birthday. I have always been a firm believer in good celebrations (not necessarily big).

I will have to ponder this a bit, however one verse did come to mind while reading this.

The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Will keep thinking and praying on it though.

Embracing Tao, you become embraced.
Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.
Clearing your vision, you become clear.
Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.
Opening your heart, you become accepted.
Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.
Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
Controlling without authority,
This is love.

I know nothing and nothing troubles me.
I see no difference between yes and no.
I see no difference between good and evil.
I do not fear what the people fear in the night.

The people are merry as if at a magnificent party
Or playing in the park at springtime;
But I am tranquil and wandering,
Like a newborn before it learns to smile,
Lonely, with no true home.

The people have enough and to spare,
But I have nothing,
And my heart is foolish,
Muddled and cloudy.

The people are bright and certain,
Where I am dim and confused;
The people are clever and wise,
Where I am dull and ignorant,
Aimless as a wave drifting over the sea,
Attached to nothing.

The people are busy with purpose,
Where I am impractical and rough.
I am apart from all other people
Yet I am sustained by Nature, their mother.

I am sorry that your birthday was spent away from home. May today and each day until your next birthday be a celebration!!! :)

I like what Gen is saying. I didn't think of it until she said that, but perhaps the wrong fear of God, fearing His wrath while not understanding His Love, can push us away.

DV is telling you that you have some good poetry on your hands...I think!! ;)

I have thought about your post a few times today. I really can't add anything to my initial thoughts: I have a friend that I count up there with my top of the list most wonderful of wonderful people. You could never meet anyone more kind and gentle, but they have hurts, wounds, and scars. While they have more to offer than your average bear, their self esteem is shot!! At times, it almost seems as if they run from love. It is sometimes sad because they are one of the wisest, most encouraging, most lovable of people! I really have to watch myself not to run to this person continuously, but I just cannot help but feel, at times, as if they are an extension of the arms of God!!!

lol I say all that to say your words remind me of a person with love all around, lots of love to give, and people desiring to give that love in return. Yet fear, by whatever cause, (of the future, of pending hurt, past hurts, ect.,...) blinds them to be able to fully enjoy that love.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. I John 4:18
