YELLOW EVERYBODYYYY!!
...yes it's been ages hahahah.
Went to Hillsong and saw a glimpse of Sydney :)
Making new friends, or rather getting to know better of ppl I already knew haha.
Well that's another story to tell :)
I'll be posting some pics. Later. Because now it's my curcol time. Yes. Whatever haha.
I've been thinking about this for a while.
Once or times wanna blog about it. Well, now's the time I guess.
OK SO.
Have you ever love someone so much that you want to do anything in your power to save him?
Have you ever love someone so much that even the thought of him sad, can bring sadness to yourself?
Have you ever love someone so much that when you're happy you wanna share the rainbows with him?
How if this person, the same person that you love so much,
also the one that keep pushing you away. Pushing people's away.
One that sees the worst in everything because that's how 'life' is for him.
One that hurt us from time to time, simply because he doesn't know how to love.
One that ask us to never expect because that's how he survive all this time.
Well. To be honest.
I'm thinking of giving up a few times.
I'm just not strong enough, God!
Can I just love, from afar, like, why should I be there when all I got was my spirit being dragged down with him lol.
People said that love is about give and take.
And where is my 'taking' part here?
But then I was reminded..
That's exactly how Jesus love us and how we response to His love from time to time.
He loves us unconditionally, relentlessly, unceasingly, no matter what we've done to push Him away from our lives.
No matter how we stubbornly insist that we don't need Love. We don't need Him.
,,and that's exactly how we respond.
We say no to Love because the world has let us down.
Or, or we may say YES because that's what we are expected to, but then live our life like nothing has changed, because we just don't feel we deserve to be loved.
I was reminded that our love is the most selfish above all.
God's love isn't.
We want people to return what we give.
We give love, then we want love in return.
If we give more, than we expect the other side to give more in return.
But expectation always leads to disappointment, because no one is perfect.
Therefore, no love is perfect. Which leads to disappointment.
Then why bother?
Because His love is.
His love is PERFECT.
Jesus loves me even when I didn't know Him at all.
Jesus loves you even when you don't know Him at all.
He loves us still even when during our darkest times.
He sees the depths of our hearts, sees the worst that our minds could conceive.
Still..
His love is for us.
We want people to feed our needs as we feed them.
We encourage, then we will expect them to encourage us when we're down.
We console, then we expect them to do the same when we're sad.
But then, Jesus is the only cup that never runs dry, knowing our needs and give us MUCH MORE than we ever needed. Our cups overflowwwws.
Besides, how can you expect people to feed your need when they don't even know how His love fills the empty spaces they don't even know exist in them?
At the end of the day, I have learned that it's impossible to love someone unselfishly
without having God's love overflow in us.
If we're expecting others to fill our needs, we will be disappointed countless time which leads to discouragement.
I was reminded that everything I need is in Jesus.
And no storm nor raging seas nor tsunamis could take me away from His love.
Which means, whether the other person love me or not.
Whether the other person appreciate me or not.
Whether the other person turn his back or look down on us or even hurt us, well, His love never fails. We are still precious in His eyes and that's what really matters
Who are we to give up on others, when God has never EVER given up on us?
Who am I to give up on you, when Love has never given up on me?
So hug a person because God has hugged you first!
1 John 4 : 19
