Tip 64: Have faith in love

In being a loving husband and daddy, I am beginning to understand the power of love and life. Through love, this universe was created by God. Understanding love and acting by it, surely brings life and brings up the family beautifully. I wrote earlier about sacrifice being something that need not be burdensome even if it may cost us much, as its done through love. The weight is lifted of by hope and faith. In the bible, it states that faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we can not see exists. It is truly burdensome when we have so many chores to run, new stress that piles up over and over, yet if we do all this in love, we can have faith that we are doing something good. And that, it is all that matters. No worries are necessary. No regrets or self pity either. Just faith and soon we will taste victory and joy that our labor of love is not in vain.

Being a parent can be a handful. If we love, we would think of a thousand things to do. We would feel discouraged when the other partner is not doing the same thousand things. Yet, we need to constantly remind ourselves that our love is unconditional. We do it out of love. And, we have faith the outcome is beautiful. Baby Haruka may not necessarily understand my love and respond in love. But, as parents, we have faith that we instil beauty in our babies by loving and by our sacrifices. If we can cope, we continue. If we are burdened with stress, we can slow down and relax and remember that we should only do it out of love. I am having faith that our babies would understand one day, that we ought only to do our best. Love. There are so many lessons of love that I am still learning as a daddy. Love is hard work. Yet, love is full of life and power. Its the essence of life. Faith in love, sacrifice out of love and unconditional unselfish love.
