(day 2)
yeah came back from aj cg and dinner with zhiwei. really glad to see more j1s in the cg and we prayed for the two new b (yun yang & yuan tat). praying that they will continue to experience God in a tangible manner. the cg celebrated boey's bdae too! our mr vampire. yea and we prayed together w him that he will have a sheep asap.
dinner w zhiwei was filliing! hahaa we both feel so bloated after dinner and we had to chase our buses w our bloated stomach! :( but oh well, at least we manage to catch the buses home.
anyway, i love chen chen! i appreciate how she makes effort to be creative and gently evaluate me. thats how we can grow too isnt it? we all need constructive feedbacks!
i am looking forward to grow in God with you and our relationship too ;)
alright, decided for the next few days, i will explore more on 1 cor 13, passage abt Love. so here's today's part:
1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 (NIV)
Love
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 (The message)
The Way of Love
1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
actions without love is dead, nothing, meaningless. the verses make me question my actions. when i do certain things, do i do it out of duty or out of genuine love?
no matter how powerful or how "spiritual" the things we do, but we do not love, its nothing.
i love the way The Message version said abt the last few lines of verse 3: "no matter what i say, what i believe, and what i do, i'm bankrupt without love"
My Prayer:
"God, in all things i do, let me do it with love. not out of obligation but sincere love. so that it will not be amount to nth. but when my actions are accompained w love, something good will turn out! thanx for reminding me this simple but yet impt truth. gd nite God! "
