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.
When I wake up this morning I do not feel sad I won't cry anymore Instead of complaining I should feel grateful At least there are still good memories for us to remember I like how you like me in your own way how you didn't promise anything you can not guarantee you are being so real and maybe that's why I like you.
tonight I really had a great time with you. a week has passed. you are leaving this town tomorrow. one day when you come back here, I wish I still feel the same way about you.
If only we could love like a child. We do not have to think about anything else. We just love. As we growing up, the definition of love is gradually becoming more complex. You can't just be with the one you love. There are many others thing to be considered, before you get yourself in a relationship. Love alone won't make it last. It's sad and yet it's real. It's bitter and yet it's sweet. And thank you for today. For the tears and the pain. For the laughter and the love. I just love the way how you handle thing so well. How you keep this thing just for yourself. How you act like nothing has happened between us. You've been preparing yourself for the worst, while I'm only preparing myself for the best. Maybe that's the reason why we never make it.
Being honest is easy if you want it. And I'm glad we did it last night. Even in the end it made me cry. I am sad yet happy. I finally know the feeling is there. If we are meant to be, then we will. For the time being, I just can't easily keep my option open. My only option is you. If only you realize it.
See I'm just too scared to tell you the truth. And I don't know what I'm waiting for. Why don't you give me a reason. Please tell me the truth. Open up your heart tonight. I could be all that you need. Why don't you love me? Hey Arwin, this one is for you.
I had a newborn session this morning with baby Hosea and big brother Cio. I spent 2 hours on their home. It was a lot of easier because the mother are very cooperative. Looking forward for the next session with these two little boys.
