To know God, is to know love
Sunday, September 11, 2011
Hoping alone is not enough to change things. There needs to be transformation.Need to learn how to love people more, how to cherish them more.Somehow I know they mean something to me, yet like a wandering spirit, I have little anchor points on what grounds me to people. They come and go in my mind, as though possibly with little value. And I guess you can't find security in the unpredictability of the wind. Maybe they don't mean enough to me, for me to just hold on to them like it's all I got.I've never really been a sturdy anchor. The kind that when it comes to mind, I'll do, and when it doesn't, I'll forget. There isn't a consistency in my relationships.I know I used to keep searching for something and hence neglected people. But since then, I have kept to what I have, doing things to cherish those around me.But I realize, in a great part of my life, I still lack love. That genuine love that springs forth naturally as you've put it. Something's lacking. It's like despite all the good knowledge and actions of altruistic selfless, I lack the heart for it. Somehow somewhere I just doesnt feel like the full extent and outreach of love I know I should be feeling. It feels so human. And so, no matter how nice, good, impactful I am, the truth remains that without love, I'll be nothing just as I am now, still an empty soul.Corinthians 131 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
And though I have an undying hope that pulls me up and a rooted faith in the sovereignty of God, I somehow can only say, I have not yet known love.For as much as I have relentlessly sought it, maybe it's time I went back to the roots, the calmness in chaos, the peace in strife, the strength in weakness, the grace in lack, the forgiveness in guilt, the love in emptiness."God is love" as written in John. and if I don't know love, I dont know God. And I because don't know God, I don't know love.It's time. I'll need to do something about myself for once. I need to set my heart right. I need transformation.
God please teach me, and open my heart and show me how to love. As I'll learn to look to you, draw me closer to you.

Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
==============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
