Love is a verb

Recently, i read this book call "Love is a verb". It's a book with different stories of love written by the people who experienced it. It's inspiring and heartwarming. Some of the stories even made my tears flow out of my eyes. It's just too touching for me to bear.

Reading some of the stories, made me reflect about myself. How I love the people around me and if i am ever going to be in the same situation as the writers, how would I react?

Not only that, some of the stories, reminded me of some of the friends I love so much yet refuse to reach out to receive my love. Am I going to give up or should I just continue to love them? I prayed for strength and courage that I can continue to love them and I prayed that they will one day open up to me.

No one should be left alone to deal with life. This explains why in God's plans, we have friends. Because He care enough to put special people in our lives.

These people are blessing in life.

run your own race

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us

Hebrews 12:1

Each and everyone of us has got our own race to run, to be successful. It is therefore important that we focus on our own race and be the best you can possibly be.

Never engage in any kind of unhealthy competition with others. Never allow yourself to be discouraged when it seems as though those around you are making progress than you. The fact that someone else is succeeding does not mean you are failing. Success is relative and it is measured at different stages.

What you are aiming for may not be the same as what another person is aiming for. Run your own race and be the best of you, bearing in mind that you are only permitted to compete with yourself and outdo your past.

Lord, lead me.

I was at church today & I heard stories about the children's ministry again. Something in me twitched again. I had the same feeling before when I first heard of the children's ministry earlier this month.

After service, I went to the counter and applied to serve at the children's ministry. On the application form, they asked: "Why do you want to serve in this ministry?" I answered: "This feeling (to serve in the ministry) came to me so strongly that I know I have to do something about it.".

All I want to say now is... God, if this is what you want me to do, lead me. I am going to leave everything in your hands Lord. I know you have a plan for me, if this is it, lead me. Lord, I know there's something about the children ministry but I don't know what it is. I will be patience and wait for the truth to unfold before my eyes for I know everything is in your good hands.

see it, feel it, speak it and expect it

Love and be loved.
Hate and be hated.
What you say and contribute is what you are going to receive at the end of the day.
Believe it.
May be you have not receive it yet.
One day... Wait and see... Time will tell...
It will come back to you.
This is what God promised.
All you need to do is guard your heart & be faithful to Him alone.
