Parting of great leaders

​

​

They had such a sharp disagreement

that they parted company.

Barnabas took Mark and sailed

for Cyprus,  Acts 16:39

Good person, building up men,

a great nurturer Barnabas and

great missionary Paul parted company.

It was because of their helper Mark.

Mark in his 30th returned alone

not far from where they were sent

in the 1st missionary journey.

For their 2nd journey Barnabas wanted

to take Mark again knowing his potential,

and Paul thought spiritually young and

untrained missionary is not ready for

the fierce spiritual battle fields.

They sharply disagreed over it.

Paul judged in such spiritual warfare

with matter of life it was too risky

for soldiers to fight with child who

needs care and in turn he could

not be raised properly.

At last good person Barnabas,

a great nurturer and cousin took

Mark for Cyprus; and Paul with

Silas for present Turkey.

This is how the great two leaders

in the New Testament parted.

The thoughts of both were right;

at the end spiritual nurturing

and war fare both were succeeded

by the two leaders.

​

May is called queen of season,

month of love.

In May are children’s day whom Jesus loved

especially, parents day, couple’s day, family day,

missing children’s day and labor day in Korea.

All these are for people.

The love of God who admires people so much

that he blesses all of them with natural blessings

and he so desires them to love each other,

be happy and prosperous.

God’s love is like blowing the silky May wind.

Love gives us joy, strength and awakens all

my dream and potential. God loves me so.

What is love?
