The Road A Soldier Walks

A soldier has been called only for the battle
If a soldier fears the battle, that soldier must retire from the ranks of the commissioned.
If a soldier shuns the battle. That soldier must take off his clothes and return home.
A soldier has been called only for the battle.

Therefore,
A soldier eats for battle,
A soldier drinks for battle,
A soldier sleeps for battle,
A soldier wears clothes for battle,
A soldier wears belt for battle,
A soldier exercises for battle,
A soldier breathes for battle,
A soldier runs for the battle,
A soldier trains for battle,
A soldier rests for battle,
A soldier learns for battle,
A soldier practices for battle,
A soldier develops strength for battle.

A soldier carries a knife at his side for battle,
A soldier shoulders a gun for battle,
A soldier wears a canteen at his side for battle,
A soldier straps on a backpack for battle,
A soldier walks for battle,
A soldier dashes for battle.

A soldier climbs up the mountain for battle,
A soldier climbs down the mountain for battle,
A soldier crosses the river for battle,
A soldier confronts the enemy for battle,
A soldier must stand before the enemy for battle.

And also,
A soldier attacks the enemy in order to prevail,
A soldier fights hand to hand in order to prevail.

And also,
A soldier must not lose to the enemy,
A soldier must surely overcome the enemy.

If,
A soldier loses, all his prior efforts become vain and if
A soldier loses, he disappoints the expectations of He who has called him.

Therefore,
A soldier must certainly overcome and gain victory.
A soldier must present the laurel crown of victory to the
Head Commander and King.

When that is done,
All the honor, reward, and glory is bestowed upon the soldier.

Therefore,
A soldier prepares only for battle,
And a soldier exists only for battle,
And a soldier will go forth to battle in joy for battle is his true duty,
And a soldier must gain victory, only victory in all the battles.
A soldier’s single defeat is that soldier’s eternal death.
Therefore,
A soldier must surely only gain victory for himself and his fatherland

What Is Love…

What is love that
Though King Solomon had hundreds of wives and mistresses,
he loves only the Shulamite maiden, until he became lovesick.
What is love that
Our heavenly Daddy and Jesus left all those innumerable children in heaven,
To love even unto death the lowly, shabby earthly children?

Love, Love, Love.
What is love?
No matter how much one ponders upon it, love remains a mystery.
This love is as deep and propound as God Himself.
This mysterious love is what only God possesses and thus only springs from God.

Why do both God and man become powerless and helpless
to this love, and become dragged by it?
Why do both God and man, before this love, weep, laugh,
and suffer loss, become humiliated, and still continue to love
even at the risk of losing their own lives?
And yet only this love can bring such a perfect joy and
happiness to God, man, and the whole universe.

Love is a mystery,
Love is profound,
Love is fragrant and sweet.
Love is an immeasurable happiness.

Love is a strange sickness.
Because both God and man begin to think and act strangely,
when encaptured by this sickness.

Love is a happy sickness.
Because both God and man are happily tormented with happiness,
when inflicted by this sickness.

Love is an insane sickness.
Because both God and man, once inflicted with this disease,
forget their own position, honor, and dignity,
and wander in madness.

Love is an incurable sickness.
Because there is no medicine to cure it,
neither in heaven nor on earth.

Love is an easily curable sickness.
Because if you find and meet the one you love,
you will be easily cured right away.
