" 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 trust,
Always hopes,
Always perseveres.
Love never fails."

Just having a few thoughts on this after hearing it from somewhere. And this is my sharing for the day =)
Many times, we all thought that we know what "LoVe" means.
"Love is something that we feel for each other"
"Love is something that cant be said with words."
"It's just a rush of emotions that you cant define what it means but it's just there and so forward" ....................................
So many people with different kind of definition for the word "LOVE"
When you're with someone, no matter what age we were in, we tend to say the word " I LOVE YOU" to another person, don't we? Especially when we're in a relationship status. At that moment, it feels right because at that time, we thought that we know what love means and we say to another person with passion.
But what if things turn out ugly, will we still be telling that person that we love them?
What if they back stab us from the back til we feel like falling apart, will we still love them?
Sometimes, we don't even know what is the real meaning of love and this is when it gets complicated. Without love, we're nothing.
Lets take a look at this.
Love = Sex = Pleasure
This is what people nowadays are thinking. I'm not sure about Malaysian but it's all around America. After having a good think about it, i realized that when we said the word "I LOVE YOU", in real, it's just so empty and shallow.
So, what does God have to say for love?
- Lay down your life for others
By making a commitment/promise to each other, it doesn't mean that we have to use our body as a symbol to do so. Couples can make their promise to each other by making a commitment to protect each others purity. It's a way that we tell each other that............
"I want the best for you and I'm going to protect your purity"
This is how you show a person that you love them. But what is this gonna do with "lay down your life for others"? It means that you're putting the person that you love in the first place and putting your needs aside. True love is selfless.
Often, i thought that... I know how to love. Sacrifice for one and let them come first is a way of showing them that i love them. But somehow, i lose control and let myself get overboard at times and that is when people never return the favor by showing a little appreciation and I got hurt. It may sounds rather stupid and weak but that is who i am and i couldn't help it by taking things seriously, especially when it comes to people that i really want to build a relationship. It doesn't have to be a boy girl relationship, it can also stands for family and friendships.
But what I'm really trying to say is that.. I realized that, I'm using MY way to love people instead of what God had thought us what love is all about and how to love others. I thought I'm doing the right way, but i was wrong. So, so wrong. And that's the reason why I get hurt so easily and this is all because of my behavior which I'm only thinking about myself and MY WAY of loving others. I always thought about What can I do for others to make them happy so i wouldn't offend them and so forward.
I'm so selfish. I didn't use LOVE in the correct way. When i used it in the wrong way, I felt unsatisfied and worst come to worst, jealousy took over me. Trust me, jealousy is a scary thing. But i was once again reminded by God that, I cant do this MY way because this will leads to nowhere but to Satan. Once again, I thanked Him. There's so much that he'd gave me in life, but never once, i would know how to appreciate it. Maybe at times, I do. But often, i forget.
That is why, there are so many reasons for us to love each other because Jesus Christ had show it to us on the cross. This is what i had for the day. I'm off to hit the sacks =)
Great days ahead people =)
Good Night..
