i juz wanna share this most wonderful verse i liked very much from the bible- 1 Corinthians 13
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always persevers.
Love never fails.
.....
And now these three remain:
Faith, Hope & Love.
But the greatest of these is
Love.
Love to me is so intangible, but it exists in so many different forms:
- God's agape love for us (of course this is the greatest and most sacrificial type of love demontrated to us thru Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins, to give us eternal life)
'humanly type of love':
- BGR lovers' love
- love for brothers- and sisters-in-Christ
- family love
- friendship love
etc...
'love makes the world go round'
now that i reflect, i realised how great is God's love in me that propelled me to wanna share his love... for me i find it hard to love others, or even strange or tiring to love... (haha sounds like i'm so cold-blooded) but when God's love is so empowering in my heart, its something tat can't be contained... it juz teaches me how to wanna care more for my friends, and having compassion for the lost... and overflowing until i wanna show kindness to others... touch pple's lives, now tat i'm more determined to be a gd physician to treat others in the near future... His love for me juz makes everything else fall in place... and reveal the promises and purposes he has for me...
God's love is different from a humanly type of love u get from a father, though it can be demonstrated by our biological parents' love for us, but God's love is not replacable becos His love endures forever...
and so now i pray that God's love can be shared and made known to the world, esp to my friends and family, becos all of us needs to love and be loved. and God's love is already offered to us, he's just waiting for us to accept Him into our lives...
'His love endures forever...'
another aspect of love tat i find it hard to grapple with is BGR type of love. i think i'm just the type who is hard to fall in love with a guy becos my perspective of guys, in general, is very bad becos of wad i saw in my dad when younger... so i had quite a single-minded mentality and even did decide not to get married when older. (haha. but i love kids! they're so cute and adorable!!!) but now tat i'm at an age where BGR is common, and only now mayb due to peer pressure, i began to haf interest, there's the temptation for me to wanna try falling in love. but for me, i'm juz not determined enuff to like a guy for more than 2 mths?? haha. mostly are juz infaturations tat din last long... i had a crazy idea tat mayb now if i settle down, i can be more motivated?? haha. but i juz can't imagine myself stuck wif someone always. think i get bored easily. ok hope my perception can change when i meet the right one. but sadly every new stage of studying, my scope of guy friends i make are really few. haiz. i'm constantly in an environment of girls, even now my tcm course has only 4 guys!!! haha. so where am i gg to meet him? haha. i know i can enlarge my social circle to make more frens but i'm so introvert, and very anti-social even in hall, i find it a chore for me to mix ard. well, i only pray tat God wld prepare me now and when time is right, our paths will juz cross and we can know tat we're meant to be tgt... PERFECT! haha. i believe its possible to haf only 1 for 1st and last. but i definitely won't go into a relationship for the fun of it. becos i think i'm too high on guard and not easy for me to gif my heart to someone... unless i'm touched... haha
now its so near the exams and i actually wrote so much abt love... haha...
shall continue to be prayful and trust God's timing...
oh if u did notice my heading for my blog, the 'Amazing Love' is refering to God's love... and my fav song is oso called 'Amazing Love'...
lets spread the love...
oh God, pls teach me how to love...
