I woke up this morning with a very bad feeling. It feels like it has always been me alone fighting the world to get what I want. It was like people do not understand me. And for all I know they were just using the power I have shared with them to destroy me.
In my heart I feel so sad because people are people and we are all sinners. We can never be perfect. We will always envy, hate , get angry and destroy each other but the good Lord is perfect. So when everyone else around me is busy killing each other I decided to look at Jesus.
Loving someone is not a matter of knowing whether or not they deserve your love. It is something you know in your heart you want to do.
I want to say that I know how it it feels to trust someone and get betrayed. I have trust issues too and even if I do; I do not think I kept myself from loving and trusting others.
They say before you can even love others, you have to know how to love yourself. They insist that you have to love yourself before others.. I never get this idea until this morning because the good Lord showed me how it should be.
I learned that I can only love others if I myself have received love and forgiveness from God. For I never knew what love was until the Lord showed me how to love.
I learned that you cannot love others by just merely knowing how to love yourself. I learned that you can only love others through the love of Christ. "Through the love of Christ" means you have a relationship with Christ and your standard on loving others is set by Christ.
I learned that you can only love others if you know that Jesus loved you even when you were so unlovely.
I learned that I can never learn how to love others unless I have a loving relationship with Jesus.
If you know that Jesus died on the cross and you are a sinner that needs Him then this will be the start of your relationship with the Saviour
Love is not selfish. Love is kind. No one knows how far I can love you but I know I love and care for you. And I pray that you would know the love of God to help you love and forgive others.
This morning I woke up and realized how good the Lord is. He brought me pain to call me back in prayer.
For the past 2 weeks I was so bothered by the verse in Romans 1; I couldn't pray. I do not know what to tell God because I do not want to obey. Although it is plain it is not favorable to me to follow. This is why my relationship with God for the past 2 weeks had become cold.
This morning I just want to thank Jesus for He is great!
Thank you Jesus for taking me back now that I have been away from you.
Thank you for showing me how You love us.
Thank you for being my faithful friend.
If I can bring You glory for the rest of my life, I will.
9intervals, the idea is derived from a cat having nine lives. I guess, I don't have to tell you how much I love cats!
We've been through intervals in this lifetime. Guess, I'm lucky to be alive. I don't think I would be lucky the next time. But nevertheless, we have our intervals. A certain episode that we remember in the past that affects our future. Or maybe just something that we can learn from. A little something to look back to.
