Hi guys! It's been almost a week since I've last posted. As I've mentioned, I have greaaaat news for you guys on my previous post. Rewinding back to the "true love" part, let me just type out the words on that awesome picture Photographer Low took. HAHAH.
Alright, here goes!
Alright, here goes!
1st Corinthians 13 : 4-7.
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
or rude. It does not demand it's own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstances."This is the true defination of love.
How many people out there can fulfil the criteria of love actually? Well, there's bound to be some jealousy going on in the atmosphere when you hear your partner/someone you like, is contacting some other guys. Or perhaps you're irritated by how your partner has been controlling you due to his/her possesiveness. To add on, it states that Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstances
Yeah, some people may like someone for a period of time, let's say three years. But after that they decides to give up halfway cause they couldn't receive the love back, and lost their faith, their hopes seemed a million miles away from them and moved on to another person. So is this still called love?
Love means putting someone above your ownself and is willing to sacrifice everything just for the other party's best interest. Now, let's get practical. Are you willing to take the bullet for your special someone? Are you willing to die for your special someone? Some peepo will, for their special someone. But how about sacrificing your life for a stranger? Will you still do it? Well, I've 101% confidence that no one will die for someone they do not even know.
But hey! I know someone will, and his name is Jesus!
In Romans 8 : 34, it says that,
"...for He is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us..."
Any ideas why Jesus died for us? Well, simple. It was love.
John 3 :16-17 says,
"For God so loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him."
Good news, isn't it! Like, Jesus can choose not to come down and suffer, get insults thrown straight into his face, and got whipped 39 times! But he still came down just to die for each and everyone of us. One word, love. Because Jesus loves us, so he sacrificed for every single Earthlings here.

to see how much he really went through just for us. There's a video clip in that particular post.
Jesus was humiliated. Tortured. Mocked and insulted at. For who? For you, my dear friend. You. Jesus doesn't want to see us going to Hell, where it is described as,
"...unquenchable fires of hell" Mark 9:43,
"...eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons" Matthew 25:41
"This is the second death--the lake of fire." Revelations 20:14
" ...darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 8:12

Heaven, being a perfect place cannot tolerate sin. But we, humans are sinful by nature and only the blood of Jesus Christ could cleanse and wash us from ALL our sins. Hey, it's not one, not two nor three. it's ALL sins. So that we may be pure and flawless, thus, allowed access to Heaven.
"But why blood? Can't we just do good deeds, donate more to the poor and help those in need? We're still being a good person what. " You guys may wonder and ask.
Bible says that in Hebrews 9:22,
"...nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness."
and,
Revelations 20:15 states,
"And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire."
In everything you do, you gain and lose something. Like, if I study hard for exams, I gain knowledge and good grades, but lose my freedom as I would have to study. As when a person sin, they gain temporary pleasures, but lose their lives.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."
Because Jesus doesn't want to see us suffering eternally in the immense torture and burning heat and flames, so He died on the cross for us.
To add on, the bible says that these are the people that won't be added unto the Heavenly Kingdom.

In 1st Corinthians 6 : 9-11.
So with our sins all cleanse, we then fits the criteria to go Heaven! And it's not by good works that saves us. It's through Jesus Christ. As I've mentioned above in John 3:16,
However, when people hear this good news, they're turned off and discriminate God. Bible says in
John 3:19-20 that,
Returning back into His loving arms is better than having that pink Gucci wallet I want, flying a pink kite etc. It is even better than rubies, diamonds, gold and other jewels!
I've found my true love, the joy of my life. :) Have you?

Sidenote : This is for a friend of mine whom I care for.
I know that you're still holding on. Yeah, you're right. I did gave you cold shoulders and stuffs. Cause I wanted you to concentrate on God, and walk close with Him. I don't want us to get distracted, cause it really really will. Hey look! What did Jesus did for us? I believe you've read my post. The bible says,
"Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires." Psalm 37:4
Why? Why delight in the LORD. Cause you and the Holy Spirit are one now. And once you delight yourself in the LORD, obeying his commands and fulfil his will, your desire will be His desire as well, cause both of you are one! Isn't it great news to hear this?
What I'm hoping for is that, we will worship God together. Just enjoy spending time with Jesus! :) Then if it's God's will, let it be. It's really a joy, cause I, personally experienced it.
What are you aiming for in this short little adventurous life? God? Or your own wants, your relationship? What are you looking for? Companionship or Marriage?
I was reminded on what Jesus did for us on that cross when I'm not even worth his sacrifice. I woke up. Why not obey what God wants you to do first? Remember that the LORD's plan are flawless and perfect? Have faith! What happened to the, "We walk by faith and not by sight?"
What you need, God will eventually give you when the time is right. Trust in Him! My brother once told me when it's the right time to have a relationship or what, everything will be smooth-sailing. There'll be no obstacles at all. I'm not trying to break you guys up. You said that she backslided. If you truly like her, bring her to church again! Let her know this wonderful new, too!
Just read the bible and I guarantee that you'd be awed at how God works in your heart. You once told me that I changed, my thinkings, my mind set. The reason behind this change is God. He changed and moulded me into the masterpiece that he wants me to be. :)
I hope that you'll do what God wants you to do and wants you to be, rather than your own wants. Cause without God, you feel terrible. Again, I personally felt and experienced it before, countless of times. You should know.
Just two more verses before I end this,
"Commit your actions to the LORD, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3
and
"We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps." Proverbs 16:9
I hope this has blessed your heart! If you feel a tug of pull in your heart, it means that God is telling you to do it. Don't hesitate! Yuppyupp.
"Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people - none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. (Heaven)
Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."So with our sins all cleanse, we then fits the criteria to go Heaven! And it's not by good works that saves us. It's through Jesus Christ. As I've mentioned above in John 3:16,
"...that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."
However, when people hear this good news, they're turned off and discriminate God. Bible says in
John 3:19-20 that,
"...but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.
They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished." "Those who follow the right path fear the LORD; those who take the wrong path despise him." Proverbs 14:2.
This, thus shows that people doesn't want to turn away from their sins, they don't want to step out of their comfort zone and so, despising God.Returning back into His loving arms is better than having that pink Gucci wallet I want, flying a pink kite etc. It is even better than rubies, diamonds, gold and other jewels!
I've found my true love, the joy of my life. :) Have you?
