This year I had three celebration for my birthday. Love is surely in the air. Yesterday was my Chinese birthday. I had dinner with my closest friends since secondary school. I hope I can celebrate it with them the next year and so on.
What I got for my daily devotional today by Pastor Kong. Choose Love!
There’s a common myth in our culture today that love is uncontrollable. We hear things like, “I can’t help it. I’m falling in love!” Or, “I can’t help it. I’m falling out of love!” The reason so many have bought into this lie is that they’ve confused love with attraction or infatuation. But that’s not love!
When you’re attracted to someone, it doesn’t mean you love them. Attraction can actually be the opposite of love because it is often self-focused. It’s about how this person makes me feel. But we’re told in Scripture that love “does not seek its own” (1 Cor. 13:5) and it “never fails” (13:8). Whereas attraction does seek its own and is fleeting.
Love is a choice. So when one spouse says to the other, “I’m sorry, I just don’t love you anymore.” He or she is really saying “I’ve chosen not to love you anymore.” How else could Jesus command us to “love one another” (John 13:34), unless we can choose not to love? God is love. And because of that, He’s the expert at love. So the closer you are to Him, the more you’ll make the choice to love others. And the more you choose to love and commit to love, the more loving you’ll become. Make the choice to love others today!
There are some people who really loves you for who you are There are some people who come and find you when they need something There are some people who talk a lot about themselves There are some people who won't always be there for you but you know they are trying to There are some people who hide their feelings so well There are some people who hate you.
I always love it when it's raining in the morning. The sound and smell of the rain are perfect. Here I am, enjoying a cup of hot chocolate milk. Give thanks to God for the life I have. And especially for this one particular person, I have been sharing my stories with, for the past one month. I know it's too soon to say that I am in love with him. All the daily conversations, random jokes, cheesy words sure make me feel happy. Temporarily. I still feel insecure most of the times. Maybe that's because I am afraid that this will come to an end. I do not know how to define our relationship. I do not know am I investing my time on the right person. And I am sure he do not know neither. For the time being, lets just make the best out of it. If it works, then it's our luck. It it don't, then we should find another one.
