LOVE

God's love
A friend of mine shared this article with me and so I would like to share it with you guys. God's love is said to be agape, unconditional love. What does it mean by that?
Well the Bible says that Jesus laid His life down for you while you were yet a sinner (Rom 5:8). He had no guarantee that you were going to respond. For this reason, agape is the most beautiful love in the world. If you have a reason for love, the reason has to be maintained in order for love to remain. That expectation is too much pressure. If God had said, “I love you because you are holy,” that pressure would be too great for us. God never does that. He simply says that He loves us. This is the beauty of agape. It has no reason or condition.According to Jesus Christ, you cannot love anyone beyond your love for yourself. You can only love me to the same degree that you love yourself. Therefore, it is more important for you to love you than to love me. When you love you, I am safe. Whatever you hate about you, you hate about everybody else because you cannot love beyond your love for yourself. When you love yourself, you do not need someone to approve you to feel important. You understand your self-worth.

Actually I kinda agree because we must learn to love ourselves first before we can really learn to love others.

Thanks Hui Ling for sharing the article with me. I think Im gonna love myself even more now. :)

Family Love

Well I do not need to say much about this because as we all know a family can never stay together without love. Which parent do not love their children? However the one problem most asian family face is they do not know how to express their love for each other or often it is express in the wrong way. If one day I would to go and tell my mum or dad I love you, they will definitely fall off their chair if they are sitting or choked on their meal if they are eating. Its true! But that does not mean we all don't love our family right. Sometimes I do have thoughts that maybe what all my parents are doing now for me is just so that they may enjoy a better old age life when it is our time to pay back our 'debts'. We are like an investment. Are all this just out of responsibility or love or both? Im not complaining about having to take care of my parents in the future because its after all my duty. Then again parents are willing to sacrifice their life for their kids if they have to so isn't this done out of love? Anyway all this will only come to my understanding when I've become a mother myself I guess.

Couple Love

I've never dated anyone yet so I wouldn't dare say I know how does it feel to be in love. But I did had small crushes here and there and I would say its like a roller coaster ride. The excitement is of course there but then there is the fear of your crush finding out. Not forgetting the times when I was willing to go that extra mile just to get that person's attention and the silly things I would be willing to do because of him. Somehow everything about him is perfect. But then if you ask me if I were to die for him, I would definitely say no way! Not to that extreme of course. There is also this scary part in which I've witnessed love turning into hatred and disappointment. Therefore the human's mind and heart is really unpredictable.

Friends Love

It is very common nowadays to see girls saying i love you to each other. I do say it occasionally to friends on their birthdays but what kind of love is that actually. Sometimes I wonder at this pont of time you say love you but the next minute if a misunderstanding occur, the friendship may just end. Its that fragile. Not to mention back-stabbing does occur no matter how close you are but does that make us girls evil? I don't think so. We are just being more sensitive and observant towards our surrounding.
