realised i haven been posting much.
some quotes from juz one person on FB. apparently i cant really recall how i know this person. but i have half a mind to follow this person's profile. he's the creator of that global harvest group: (Pst?) Stephen E Goh

The Christian is a person who makes it easy for others to believe in God.

Because it juz occured to me that our main role of repentance iz for God's kingdom. [Ps51:12-13]

Love Is a Reality
Love is not an emotion. Love is not a feeling. Love is an action. You can have all the right feelings, but without doing anything to express them, what good do they do? Love is more than sympathy. Love is doing what it takes to help people.

juz friday, i attended a lecture and the lecturer asked us to define what love iz to us. i said love iz God, but in fact. love iz a verb. it's an action. an action of giving, one of sacrifice, of total embrace (:

These things have I spoken· unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.( John 15:11)

Your joy is full when you are helping or serving others. Your joy is full when you are giving. But when you are all wrapped up in yourself, you lose your joy. Forget about yourself, start loving other people, and your joy will be full.

and because love iz a verb. if we love people, and help and serve them, only then will we truly experience that fullness of joy that God intended for us to experience.

(this last one iz a little hard to grapple with)

Immature love says I love you because I need you. Mature love says I need you because I love you.

and at the end of the day.
can you say you've loved maturely?
almost like a difference between physical and emotional love.

and i still wonder.
iz it really that hard for the world to understand that even the top are human beings too? people like you and i? who needs friends, needs support without having to hide? stop being paparazzis. i officially understand how those poor celebrities feel now. having your private life open in the public, that it's no longer private. and every action has some sorta reaction big or small. but today in church, i learnt that if we follow the path God gives, choose to seek the grace and heart of God, the problems will be resolved and dealt with in its own time. - i'm claiming that.
[edit]
but actually, when i come to tink about it. i guess there's always a right time and when's not. like a time to be serious and a time to be yourself. not that being serious isnt yourself. i guess it all depends on the circumstances and situation. PLUS. celebrities are not good examples to liken either. because for 1, celebrities never come across to me to know what they're honestly doing most of the time. 2, celebrities are a little pampered? and 3. paparazzis are but juz earning their living. so yupp (: i'm not afraid and there's no need to hide anything whatsoever. because i know i only need to fear Him and only Him. (: izzit really that hard to have a good friend of the opposite gender and not be misunderstood?
ISSUE RESOLVED (:
thanks BFF (:

Quote 1: Christians have also been likened to being the 67th book of the Bible; it is through us that people get a glimpse of God and Christianity. Which is also a reason why people get turned off by ill behaved Christians who are hypocritical about their faith.

Quote 2: Interesting! If love is a verb, then what do you call the 'feeling'? Whats the appropriate term? :D

Quote 4: You'll be surprised how much people mix them up a lot. Maybe the distinction between the 2 is a fine thin line. Yet they can be vastly different at the same time!
