YES!

And I know from experience we can be soft in love and hard in love. Jesus had the hard love with the pharisees and soft with the suffered.

To me prayer and faith to confront someone who is irritating me is a better way to go than to sit and stew these days. I used to be sacred to ask them why they are being (*insert mean actions here*) but avoiding conflict is not healthy in the long run.

So Love must have prayer and faith present in order for fruit to be produced. I can like someone because of what they do for me, but in order for a relationship to grow I must Love them.

Good topic thanks

My prayer icon is just me asking God what to reply to you thats all. I have no problem with what you said, its sound, I was just in the process of understanding and recognising the truth in what you say. You seem to have a way with words that I am not used to.

what is a cumbiya?

what is a cumbiya?

A misspelling of "Kumbaya".

Kumbaya is a traditional American folk song we learned to sing in elementary school and in Boy Scout camps. The words "Kum Ba Ya" are allegedly Gullah (or Creole, or some other dialect) for "Come By Here".

Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya

Someone's singing Lord, kumbaya
Someone's singing Lord, kumbaya
Someone's singing Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbayah

Someone's laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya

Someone's crying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's crying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's crying, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya

Someone's praying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's praying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's praying, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya

Someone's sleeping, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's sleeping, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's sleeping, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya

I will note that the song's title is used in contemporary American slang to derisively refer to a superficial peace or consensus that does not address the underlying issues in the conflict. "Oh, we'll just hold hands around the campfire and sing Kumbaya together." That's kind of a shame, because invoking the Lord to be with us in all circumstances is a noble desire.
