"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."-1 Corinthians 13:4-7
wow. it's amazing how sometimes you read a verse you've known for quite long already plus already read it several times, but you're still able to learn new insights. it's really God speaking to me through His word... though the new insights are kind of personal la. so i won't share them here.
haha my pw group is really great i think. (: quite happy with the arrangements. (: everyone's really sweet and yayy we sort of managed to complete the group proposal thingy on saturday. macs is quite a fun place to discuss work i realised. but the person serving us was uh... quite funny. he dropped my entire ice cream (cone included) into the chocolate sauce. =/ and when beemin asked for a mcflurry, he asked beemin if he wanted the meal... then beemin was like "...?" haha and when mag asked for an apple, he went like"apple? we have apples?" lol.
then after pw discussion, mag, beemin and i went off to that crazily expensive paper-craft shop at citylink. (lurong left early and beedict was sick and didnt come). and oh my gosh the notebooks are prettyyyyyy! but also expensiveeee!!!! haha i love pretty note books.
anyway i wish i'd known about the 梁文福 chinese talk in school. ): I'd have wanted to go for it and buy his book. xinrui was saying that he talked about the differences in friendships in the past as compared to now. which really struck me. like the origins of the term 知音, literally translating to knowing a tone/sound, but means a bosom confidante/friend. that story touched me alot although it seemed abit exaggerated... i really like the chinese language. (: it's really a very beautiful language.
to end off, i really want to love others just as Jesus loved me. but i know it's very hard to display true love.. the only way i suppose is to love others through loving God. because our God is love.
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."-1 John 4:16
yes indeed, God, you are my one and only <3
