Love means different things to different people. It is a special feeling that can make us happy and change us for the better by opening our eyes to new things about ourselves. True love is accepting of all people, brings people together, and makes the world a better place through compassion. True love is characterized by effortless attraction, mutual respect, acceptance, selflessness, trust, healing, growth, companionship, communication, teamwork, fearlessness, and being sacred. It removes ego and fear, allowing freedom and forgiveness.
I want us to think about the question...WHAT IF? When you hear that question, how does it make you feel? Yell it out!
The question, “What if?” brings about fear in me…I hear stuff like…
What if they don’t like me?
What if they don’t think I’m good enough?
What if I mess up?
What if I don’t look like them?
What if, what if, what if!
• Gifts will pass away, and what we are left with is what God wants us to have most of…love.
• See, if we have a church that is known for preaching, we have missed it.
• If we are known for our singers, we’ve missed it.
• If it’s our programs, we’ve missed it again.
• If our church isn’t known for its love, we have missed what God created us for, and why the body of Christ exists in the first place.
Love says I need you. Love says you’re worth the risk, the pain, and the discomfort. Love proves each piece matters.
Dr. Lisa Firestone, co-author of Sex and Love in Intimate Relationships, often says
that the best way to think of love is as a verb. Love is dynamic and requires action to
thrive. As Dr. Firestone wrote, “Often, we spend our time worrying about what our
partner feels toward us or how the relationship looks from the outside. Even though it
feels good to be loved by someone else, each one of us can only really feel our loving
feelings for another person and not that person’s feelings for us. In order to connect
with and sustain those loving feelings within us, we have to take actions that are
loving. Otherwise, we may be living in fantasy.”
(1) From an external orientation to an internal orientation
(2) Deconstruction of the false beliefs and stories we hold
(3) Feel to heal
(4) Accept our humanness
(5) Integrate our shadows (the parts we disowned)
(6) Be supported by relationships
And a list of day-to-day things we may want to do more of and less of to live a better life!

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

12 Characteristics Of True Love And How You Can Be Sure
You've Found It
1. Effortless and EternalAttraction
When we are truly in love with someone, we
discover moments of love and affection in the most
normal of situations. We never have to "try" to
spice things up. Everything seems fun and effortless
just the way it is.
2. MutualRespect
Respect for each other is the most important factor to sustain true love. It comes
from giving each other enough space for personal growth and never crossing the
line, no matter what.
3. Acceptance
When we are in true love, we naturally accept the person for his or her positives,
as well as for negatives. It opens up our perspectives, and we see and learn things
we wouldn’t have otherwise experienced
4. Selflessness
We experience true love only when we have something to give. To receive love, we
must give love. It's not about fulfilling our own selfish desires, but about working
4. on a common goal. It's about being selfless and caring about our partner’s needs as
much as caring about our own.
5. Trust
Needless to say, trustis the mostbasic foundation of true love. While it is crucial
to trust the person with whomwe are in love, it is equally important to trust
ourselves. Truelove makes us feel vulnerable without being fearful or defensive.
6. Healing
Love heals and ousts fear. It makes us feel safe and protected. We feel at
peace and we feel at home with our loved ones, wherever we are. True love
never hurts because there is no ego involved. True love only heals pain from
the past and gives us the strength to love again.
7. Growth
True love always favors personal and spiritual growth. It's a natural process
that is essential for our happiness and freedom. Everything needs to grow to
survive: plants, animals and all living cells on this planet.
True love promotes natural growth that not only fills life with happiness and
freedom, but also helps with professional success. True love is playful and grows
together without resistance or fear.
8. Companionship
As human beings, we seek companionship from other human beings. When it comes
to love, we look for someone who will be by our side through thick and thin, through
our entire lives. We need someone with whom we can experience the wonders of
life.
Someone with whom we can travel, share our secrets, discuss world events, fool
around and grow old. True love means paying attention to the one you love. True
love is there to celebrate in good times and to cry in bad times.
5. 9. Communication
Many people say that they struggle to express their feelings to their loved ones;
the only thing that stops them is their egos. Ego is not necessarily arrogance, but
also a lack of trust in yourself and how you feel. When words havemeaning and
are said with a good intentions, it's never difficult to let them out.
Making yourself understood and understanding your partner is the foundation of
true love. When we speak our hearts and are open and truthful about our feelings,
it shows courage and generosity. A true love will always recognize that and respect
you for letting him or her inside your secret, sacred space.
10. Teamwork
True love is teamwork. Knowing when to step up and take control and when to back
off and trust your partner to take over is teamwork. When two people are
together in love, they combine their strengths and work like a team.
They know when to shut up and when to say the things that need to be said.
Together, they create something so special that it is unique and indestructible.
They share a common life objective and work together to achieve their goals.
11. Fearlessness
Where there is true love, there is no fear: fear of commitment, fear of making
mistakes or fear of hurting someone. Fear makes love hopeless and complicated.
When we are in true love, we know what to do.
12. Sacred
6. True love is sacred. It removes ego, brings joy and brings us closer to our real
selves. True love frees us of fear and attachment. True love is freedom. True love
is forgiveness. When we are in true love, we are closer to God.
Our family is a circle of strength and
