Of Love and Servanthood...

I've learned two important things this week.

LOVE and SERVICE.

Like any normal human being and of fleshly mortals, when we give in forms of service or of tangible items, our expectations are set, but when expectations fail us, our limits are then pushed to the corner as if we are hitting a rotten rock.

For instance, if you have a bruised friendship, you try to love them, pray for them, buy them gifts, try not to hurt their feelings, smile and be nice... but none of your actions are ever reciprocated. You ask yourself if you're at fault...

BUT I was told that LOVE, is more than this.

Nobody is ever at fault.

If you find yourself having difficulty loving the unloved, then we do not understand the full length of love and what it really means.

Luke 6:32-36
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even "sinners" love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even "sinners" do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even "sinners" lend to "sinners", expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful......

SERVICE. What is service? Service means to serve not for God, not for yourself and not to show how great and holy you are...... but you serve to honor the value of a person. Be lavish in love and in kindness....are you a Martha or a Mary? :)

Ultimately, I am challenged to love and to give in service.. I guess God is preparing me for something far greater..

I have also learned that loving Sunn Chang is definitely a gift from Heaven and is worth every sacrifice sowed. Thank you dearest for showing me what unfailing love means.... :)

Having an emo evening.... emo evenings are good for the soul sometimes... hehe!
