i was reading some blogs and going through some links when i stumbled onto stephen's blog ( the pastor who comes to our school for mid week service) it was the first time i've been in his blog and i found something he wrote interesting. it was something i've always wondered about. something i've always questioned and unfortunately something i find to be very true.
1 John 4:7-16verse 9&10. "This is how God showed his love amoung us:He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.""Sometimes love sure hurts!" The mother and father were expressing the difficulties and heartaches of guiding their children through their teen years. "Maybe if we didn't love them quite so much it wouldn't be so hard," the man added.Even though love brings pain and sorrow what would life be without it? In his book The Four loves, C.S. Lewis wrote:"To love all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you mustgive your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness... The only place outside heaven you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers ... of love is hell."To love is to take risks, to expose our hearts. Sometimes it hurts! It hurt Jesus Christ, but He kept on loving - even at the cost of His life. And He asked us to "love one another as I have loved you" (John 1:12)Truly loving that spouse, that teenager, that neighbour, that colleague is Christlike, and its better than locking your heart in the coffin of self-centredness.
why does love have to hurt? why isit the person who you care for the most can also hurt u the most? isn't caring for someone being kind? den y is our kindness being repayed with hurt, pain? y cant love be painless? most importantly why do we crave so much for love even when we know we will get hurt? why isit worth it? we all try to learn from our mistakes. but when we made a mistake to love someone why do we not learn not to love again. instead once love come knocking on our door, once again we invite it in with open arms enjoy the goodness and thrills of it then regret later when we get hurt.
i've told myself once too many times after every failed relationship or wat so ever that hurt that i will not love again.but once love is on my door step or rather lust or infatuation. i let it in. sure ill hesitate a lil give myself some reason to not give in to this sort of naive situation but after sometime i still give in.
i love watching romantic movies and fairy tales & as a little girl i would always hoped that one day i cud end up like in the movies. i want a fairytale. i want a knight in shining armor preferably on a white horse to sweep me off my feet :D okay, i noe im dreaming :( anyways. in real life, i guess that just not gona happen. lifes not a fairy tale.unfortunately :( ( if i cud be in a disney movie i want to be little mermaid :D swimming in the deep blue ocean ,lets just hope the ocean isnt that cold, with the fishys and seeing the fascinating things human on earth dont get to see ans most of all sit on a rock combing my hair watching the pretty pretty sunsets :D )
love, its such a strong word, such a strong feeling. it can make u feel like floating and also make u feel like dieing. but to come to tink of it positively maybe it teaches u tings. maybe god has a plan and the best way to teach us is to make us feel it. i reli dont know but this is how i tink of it if i were to be optimistic.
ohh well, enough ranting. i have the rainbow in colour of my nails :) i feel happy today and hopefully it wud be the same tomoro :D
goodnitee
