The exams are oveeeerrrrrrrr!! Haha...Whee! Hmm...well, the funny thing about my school is that all the projects and stuff comes after the exams, so i've been kinda busy with everything thats going on in school.
Hahas.. which is the reason why I havent been using the com or blogging for some time..
Recently, I came across these verses...
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
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 perseveres. Love never fails. (NIV)
Honestly, I didnt get what it meant. For I've never looked at love from this angle. And the love I give, its......never mind..haha..
And all of a sudden, I saw it from another angle... Or rather, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes...
1 John 4:8
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
God is love, love is God, is God love?
Definitely!!
Wasn't that love that overcame the cross and grave to find your soul?
So now, I looked at the verses in a new way..
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
God is patient, God is kind. God does not envy, God does not boast,God is not proud. Godis not rude, Godis not self-seeking, God is not easily angered, God keeps no record of wrongs. God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. God always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. God never fails.
Haha..now I finally got it...
And that verse just went right into my heart... He'll always be there to protect, for me to trust on, He never fails...
No way!!
You know the story about a sinful woman who brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil and stood at Jesus's feet weeping, washed Jesus' s feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head? (Luke 7:36-50)
The woman came to Jesus's feet, regardless of the opinion of Simon, regardless of the opinions of the people in the house.
She ceased to care about anything, except Him...
Many times, we worry, we're afraid to do things because of people's opinion.. We do things not out of love, but obligation..
Let me tell you something. People of the world, they dont have the power to judge you. NO! For only God has the power to judge you, not man! And God sees you as blameless, innocent, righteous and holy because of His son. For that man was judged in your place, in my place.
So now, no one can judge you!! For we have already been judged. And the verdict of the judgement? NOT GUILTY!!
Haha... Let go of how people think of you. Let them think whatever they want, for their opinions matters not, only His does.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thought of peace and not of evil, to give you future and a hope.
Just as His thoughts for you are good, so are His opinion about you. For we are now children of the almighty God. And His my Abba Father, Daddy God..
Haha...He loves me!
Okay, now to the second part, doing things out of love.
Wait, how does that work?
See, human strength, human love, anything thats touched by human, they fail.
So how do we do things out of love? By drawing on His love, by feeding and drinking His love for me. By receiving the love of Christ, the love of my Abba Father.
1 John 4:19
We love, because he first loved us.
Wanna know the secret to be more loving? Its begins by accepting your place as a dearly loved child.
Eph. 5:1-2
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us.
Wanna learn to forgive? Then look at how you've been forgiven.
Finding it hard to put others first? Think of the way Christ put you first.
Phil. 2:6
Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God.
We might succeed for a time without God's help. But its more than that that people needs. The world , they seek about man the love that only Christ can give. Well, no wonder they cant find it. They are looking at the wrong places!
But how can we give them the love of Christ without first receiving it?
Meditate on that love...
"Daddy, I might forget about Your love, how much You love me, how great Your love is. But You never will! Abba, help remind me about that love. Let me believe that Your love will always be there, to bring and show me the way back to You. Amen"
