I am finally feeling that i am growing up. i am starting to get to see the superficial side of man. i am starting to doubt whether a man can really shower unconditional love besides God himself. Life is getting tougher and workloads are piling up.
I could remember vividly that my secondary school principle once said that ’ it just takes one person to make a different. ’ honestly, i hold this sentence close to my heart. whenever things ain’t at its best state and i know i should shoulder off my responsibility before i land myself in bad predicament, God will never fails to remind me the importance of unconditional love.
I remembered that love is not a feeling word. it’s an action word. if i really wants to love everyone around me, i should show it through actions and not just words alone. God doesn’t just say He loves us, He explicitly shower His love for us through many many ways.
Perhaps, as life getting more and more hectic, my thoughts get more sophisticated. But you know what, i really thank God for answering all my sophisticated thoughts through my quiet time tonight.
1 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
God, i just want that child like faith. i want to learn to love people unconditionally. remove my sophisticated thoughts because i know through the storm, You will still shower Your agape love.
