Do I know how to love someone?
When it comes to the topic of love, people often linked it up with boy/girl relationship. No, not really talking about that here. Do I really know how to love the ones around me, do I really know how to love God? Such a complicated issue.
Never once I told someone I love him/her; except in prayers and that was to God. Unlike others, I don't know how to sweet talk and whatever conversation I start won't last very long. Am I alright, or just because I didn't take the effort to love?
Few days ago I was thinking of the theme for Church's christmas event. A lot of thought went through my mind, before something came in and I knew that was the proposal I'm going to propose. But, whether it will be accepted or not; I don't know. Just moments ago, the idea came to me again when I was listening to 'Just Like Heaven' and on the spot, I asked God if that was the idea He wanted me to prepose. Somehow I feel that this Christmas is gonna be different and I want to do something different also. Instead of the usual Praise and Worship, followed by sermon and Praise and Worship again.. I had this big proposal of a musical. Well, not really a musical, but a skit rather to be. I had the whole storyline in my head and a little of the story board drafted in my head. Of course, I would want my idea to be accepted for this year's Christmas theme; but like what I learned in ANM today... May it be in God's will instead of mine.
Have you read the part in the Bible where it mentioned that Jesus was scared when He was praying in the garden before He got taken away? Have you ever wonder why was He scare; He's the Son of God! I began to wonder after the Pastor asked this question. What came to mind was, "Because Jesus was a human then, naturally He'll be scare." But the answer that the Pastor gave and explained was much more meaningull then this. "Jesus feared, so that we will have courage." He came as a man, He came not only to save but also to replace. He replaced our weakness, our sorrows, our fears. How? You may ask. Didn't Jesus felt all that when He was on earth. He felt those (He don't have to) so that He can replace them and when we cry out to Him, He really understand.
Bought the SOP's CDs at Eden today. So excited to see it on the shelf! I have a pile of codes to write, and DBSY is due tomorrow! Next week's dueing project is SWEN and two weeks later is INMM, STMD and CMSK. Killer.
Lord, I want to love. I want to learn how to love and not be shy about it. Teach me how to love through Your love.
