September

I recently read a blog abt a speech given by Adrian Tan. I thought it was absoutely funny, witty but importantly, he mentioned a few things that i have always been trying to share with people.

Well, one of them is to fall in love. Love conquers all. Bible says of faith, hope and love, the greatest is love. Love never fails.

To fall in love means loving someone and not expecting and demanding to be loved back equally or more. Its giving your everything and sometimes getting nothing back in return. U are empty. Alot of people are sacred so they do not want to give so much. And rightly so. Who wants to love someone anyway. We all want to be loved instead. Its hard work to love someone. So, maybe its safer to just not fall in love so hard. Keep a little, something to fall back on. But there is unfortunately no half measure to love. Its either u do it entirely, willingly and with everything you have or u dun. But falling in love makes u the most vulnerable person because u have no control and your happiness is in the hands of another. He determines your happiness! For those who love to be in control, you will have a hard time loving someone. U will probably settle for someone who loves u instead. But then, u will never know the wonderful feeling of falling in love. Being in love means that u are at your weakest but it is that very time that u are also your strongest.

When u indeed have fallen in love and experience love, maybe then u can understand the kind of love the God has for us. Jesus died so that we may have eternal life. We have done nothing to deserve this and in fact, we have done exactly everything not to deserve this. But God loves us so much that He forgives us for all our sins as long as we turn back to Him. Unconditionally! All we have to do is to be sorry and repent of our wrongs! Its that simple.

It humbles us to know that no matter how great u are, whether if u are a president or a director, we are nothing if not for God's grace and mercy. Absolutely nothing!

Thank God for His Amazing and wonderful love for us. You should love the Lord with all your heart, with all your strength, with all your mind and with all your soul. Then love your neighbour as yourself.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Praise God!

Amen.
