just had a thought....feel like sharing...
hahaha...anyway..the thought is this...
what is life?? i guess it means different
things to different people....but i guess for
me its this...life is about finding me...about
finding who i am ...what defines me...a big
part of the answer to this is God. He is a
part of me and always will be...but who am I?
but i suppose in finding out who i am that would
require me to live the life that i have been so
blessed wif...and to figure out the things that
i dun have the answers to even if they are hard
questions. recently i;ve slowly start to stop and
take stock of whats happening to me...like just
today i wen out wif my mum, shopping for things
for our new house...and we were looking for a hi-fi
system for me...and we finally decided on this really
cool black panasonic hi-fi...and after that on the drive
back i stopped and realised wow..how lucky i really am..
simply bcuz so many ppl would luv to be in my
position...to be getting a brand new hi-fi...it may not
be a hi-fi they are wanting but the point is i have been
given a lot of things which i have asked for...and i made
a point to myself early this year that i want to appreciate
the things in this world that i have been blessed with...
i really truly don want to continue my lifeon this world taking
things for granted...and that means my relationships wif frens,
family, etc.
i've been reading this book called 'a love worth giving' by max
lucado...excellent book by the way and thank u to a special
fren of mine who gave it to me :) anyway...this book taught me
a lot about love...i guess for me ..i use to think i know what love is
it was caring bout that person...a lot, and just being really comfortable
wif that someone. love is all that but it is also so much more. i
realised that when we say we love someone...it shlould be more than
just the superficial criteria that it fulfills but we shlould learn to love
one another as God has loved us...even the bible tells us this. (Im
trying not to sound preachish) but i came tothe realisation that it's so so
true...this one line in the bible really had an impact on me...its "love
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things and endures all
things"..i realise that love really is all of that...its not easy to do trust me..
but it is possible because He loved us first so that we may love the way He
loves us. and i realise that i must first embrace His love for me before
i can have "a love worth giving" to that special someone. and thats what
i really truly want to do
love my family, my frens even my enemies wen they are impossible to
love for He loved us so much. i really hope that for those of u who
havent read this book...please do...it really change the way i see things
and feel about things...well good nite all. and have a blessed week ahead.
