Seeing _____ cry stirred up compassion within me. In spite of her being older than me, realise that all people, young or old are very vulnerable on the inside. The mundanity and stress of work gets to everyone. Hope that I can be a blessing to the working adults, and truly be the salt of the earth and light of the world. That revelation makes me happy! :) As christians we have Jesus! So we have something that gives us true joy. Christians shd be the happiest, kindest and most joyful ple of the world!
Reading this book on relationships by this Pastor called Chip.
He says that this is Hollywood's cycle of love-which many of us hold:
1. Find the right person
2. Fall in love
3. Find yr fulfilment and fix yr hopes on the one person
4. If fail, repeat again
He says this is God's cycle of love we shd have:
1. Be the right person
2. Walk in love
3. Fix your hope on God and find fulfilment in Him. Both seek to please God.
4. If fail, repeat again
I'm paraphrasing here. But thats the gist of it. And I was really very blessed. By being the right person, he means that a person who is whole in God, we can only love when we experience God's love in our lives. And then we walk in love-imitate Christ. =)
When relationships don't work out, we question whether the person we are dating are RIGHT for us. And that is why when we meet someone nicer- we compare this person with our own partner and think that maybe he/she is not the right one and this new guy is the right one for u. But that will begin the cycle all over again- Hollywood style. He suggests that instead of asking that question, ask YOURSELF this question, in what way can u be a better person-are you being Christ-like?
