As i was pondering for what to write in this season of love. I felt a voice whispering in my ear.. about love. Looking at the one of the new year resolution which i blogged last year.. isn't it about love too? I was stunned for a moment.. for how God had answered my prayer.. in a very special way.
The 3 branches of my 2009 new year resolution:
1) Growing deeper with Daddy God in the love relationship.
2) Sharpen the life-skill on loving people as Jesus teaches me.
3) To be in the centre of God's will in all areas of life.
God had taught me a lesson on how to love in the past one year. He taught me how to trust Him more each day too. Growing up as the only girl in a family with two older brothers, i hardly know how to love people except receiving all the love. I hardly know what is give... but to receive.. receive and to receive. Love is sacrificial.. it takes time.. enery and money... it's about giving. 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 truths. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. Love is unconditional. Love hurts.
When you love people, you have to open your heart, and for sure you would get hurted as no one is perfect in this world and none can satisfy all our expectation (especially when some are unrealistic at time) except Him alone. Love is also about forgiving (i would say forgiveness is one of the most beautiful virtue). Love is not judging. When you judge, you have no time to love.
However, we can't really love until we understand how much God loves us.. for who we are. His never ending mercy each morning. When His love overcome fears in our lives. Fears prohibiting us from love but perfect love casts out fears. Indeed, we love because He first loved us.
The key of the gospel is love. People can't see the invisible God but people can see love. And God is love. I love to see Christ in your eyes.
