Nothing's without Love

In 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

"If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. "

No matter what right we do, it's meaningless without Love of God.=)

Think. Feel.

Recently hear alot of talks during my work. Great speakers with great minds that blesses people around. One talks about how we think affects how we feel, react and the attitude shown.

Case 1: A half cup of water was given to me. If I think "wah, only half cup of water, the person so stingy", and then I will have bad feelings and impression of the person, and show bad attitude.

Case 2: A half cup of water was given to me. If I think "wah, the person so good. Knows that I'm thirsty and gave me some water to drink." Then I will be feeling great and showing wonderful attitude.

So it goes like : Think -> Feel -> React -> Attitude.

And the speaker continues. If we have God as the focus of our life, of our thinking. We will be naturally be showing the attitude that God wants us to have.

Do we often think in the way the bible taught us to?=)

To understand

We often been through alot of struggles and hard times, and hoping other people will understand how we feel. From there, we want the desire to be fulfilled. But we can't hold a gun and say "please care about how i feel and what I've been through, or else I'll shoot you".

So when our desire has not been met, we feel even sadder and more hopelessness. And some will try to have others to notice how hard they are struggling. Very often, this creates a negative result.

But in Jesus, where we have love, things are different. We naturally reach out to love and understand others even though we had alot of struggles ourselves. Those are God's love overflowing from us to others.

God put us through hard times, is so that we can understand those who are having it as well.

真理 Vs 道理

Recently was working at a place where there all talks for christian leaders from around the globe. And they came across this topic of the crashes between 真理(truth) and 道理(reasoning) . The speaker gave a wonderful example:

"If one day I have an argument with my wife. I presented my thoughts with enough reasoning and it is pretty obvious she is wrong. And then she says: "Okay, you win. Let's divorce."

I would have win a reasoning, but lost a marriage. What use to have so much reasoning then?

At this point, I follow the truth which the bible says. "Husband, love your wife." So even if I have done nothing wrong in this matter, I must apologize. Because the truth tells me to love, yet I choose winning an argument over loving my wife.

When truth and reasoning crashes, what shall we follow?"

Answer is pretty obvious huh?haha and I like this one sentence of his most.

"整天说要争一口气, 有口臭的你还要争" -_-"

Nice show, funny part

Recently watched "300", it's a wonderful show with some funny parts. Here's my favourite:

King Leonidas (King of Spartan) and the Spartan warriors are on their way to war. Then, they met with their ally army troop, the Greeks.

The Greek leader was disappointed with King Leonidas for bringing only 300 soldiers to war. And so King Leonidas asked the Greek warriors.

"You there, what's your occupation?" He asked a few of them.

They replied, "baker, potter, blacksmith, sculptor."

King Leonidas turned to his men and asked, "Spartans! What's your occupation?"

Spartan warriors: "hooo! hooo! hooo!"

myself thinking, "so what's their occupation?" hahahahahaha-_-"

The King was as proud to those who look down on him and as humble to his people who followed him.

"Humility makes a warrior beautiful" - by Augustine (i guess, can't find out who exactly)=p

voice in the midst of emptiness

There is always a period of time whereby some of us experiences emptiness in our mind. Such that during a discussion, a brainstorming session, an idea generating time and so forth, the mind just goes blank.

Even though the face might look like "hmm...I'm thinking deeply...", but the mind is seriously blank. And in the midst of it, some of us will keep thinking "com'on, I gotta think of something man..", but nothing comes up.

I'm experiencing that now, haha.

My dad say he experienced it before too, that it often happens when we are too tired. So it is the best time to keep quiet and listen more to others and most importantly, God's words.

Sometimes we might just be thinking so much more than listening to what God is trying to tell us. In the midst of a wonderful time of emptiness, we hear the wonderful voice of the Lord!

Are we listening to the Lord's voice today?=)

"One Last Cry" for a friend

Listening to Brian McKnight songs and browsing through friendster. Passed by my friend's account who passed away last year. It is 5 months after his death today.

Memories flashed across my mind again, and they just won't stop. I'm feeling kinda lost right now, but I know God is with me and there will be peace in my heart. But nothing stops my tears, let's hope I will fall asleep after my eyes get really tired.

I'm gonna go for my SP friend's birthday celebration tomorrow. I pray I will have more opportunities of bringing him to church, since I've missed some chances before I think.

Everything that's happening now just reminds me to be more involved with my non-christian friends and spread the good words. Thank God for all these...tomorrow's celebration with my friend will be so much more meaningful.

Brian McKnight's "One Last Cry":

One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down, I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...I guess I'm down...
To my last cry...
