I told myself I wouldn't. I told myself I shouldn't. I told myself I couldn't. But yet..

I studied today. Like wow, finally after slacking away all my time. Nah, I'm joking. I've been studying. Anyways, yeah.

I wanna blog about yesterday's Ywav session.
We took a break from the Search and I think it was quite a good decision. As in, it was getting rather dry. So, we changed it to some.. love thing. I think it was rather refreshing. I mean, considering the fact that love in this case didn't only apply to boygirl relationship, but also love between friends and all that.

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 easil angered and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Its kinda amazing how the bible says that out of faith, hope and love, love is the greatest. I mean, if you honestly think about it right, weighing the importance of all. They are all almost inter-linked. Then why does the bible say that Love is the greatest?

Perhaps what he means is that we need to learn to love one another. "Love your neighbour as yourself." I've got to admit, I don't really do that sometimes. Yeah, its quite ironical about that the world says and what God says. Like, how the world teaches us that we need take revenge and do whatever has been done to us back. But the bible on the other hand, says. If a person slaps you on the right cheek, turn over and let him slap you on the other cheek. Sounds foolish? Maybe? Maybe not.

I guess its really how we comprehend things. How we understand the meaning of true love and from there try to understand and grasp what the bible teaches us and go forth in love and faith and hope, reaching out to the everyone. Even the difficult to love. Yes, love is represented by our actions. What have I done to prove it? I regret and I am ashamed to say that I haven't loved enough. Learning to love the people who may be difficult to love.

Dear Lord, help me to understand what love is all about. Give me the patience and the strength to love even when I don't feel like, or whenever I feel that it may be a waste of time. You know what I am thinking every minute and every second. Amen.

where are your actions?
