About love

A few ppl's blogs these days are talking about love... and i've decided 2 join the trend as well. *sinister laugh*
As Christians we tend 2 think we have already graduated from the worldly selfish type of love.The love that is more infactuation, passion or possessiveness. But often it is more depressing 2 c Christian couples breaking up in the most ungraceful ways... When u think they know the truth about love, when u think God's love should be flowing through them... and still they argue, fight, gossip with pure hatred. When Christian families, with its members being the most wonderful, loving, caring people at church you absolutely love 2 talk to,then u realise the members are indifferent and cold 2 each other at home... U really wonder where is love... and what is love... And is it really like wat ppl say... those who are closest 2 u are the hardest to love???
Love is not committment, although we very much wish love and commitment 2 be one. There are so many loveless committment in this world... And lots of times, even in a loving committment u won't be loving 100% 24/7... it is so easy and romantic to say:生死契闊﹐與子成說﹐執子之手﹐與子偕老. but it is just a feeble wish... To be able 2 put it in practice... is a lifelong journey of endurance.
And why would you want 2 continue 2 love someone when you realise it is so more endurance than happiness? For a stable family life? For good reputation and avoid shame? Because u r lazy?
No, because of faith. Because u know the person in your life is the one God has placed there for you, becaue u know this is what He plans for u then He will reign in your relationship, because u know this is His plan for u.... and He will never withhold anything good from you.
And most importantly, because u love HIM... and u want to follow His commandment.
My best friend sent me a Christmas card 2day... very simple, nothing flashy, no glamorous pretty words. And I am just so happy about it. sixteen years I have known her... now we only see each other occasionally when i go back 2 shanghai... and i hardly know much about her daily life now... but one thing I know: no matter what she is doing, no matter how much she will change... no matter how far or how close we are, i will love her that much all the same. There were times when we lost touch, but when we got back in touch it was so much joy and the intimacy was still there... I can feel God's hand just bonding us 2gether, and giving me the surity that I can love her no matter what.
we don't talk every nite 4 hrs no-stop on msn... when we talk we are happy but we sometimes get bored too... there r times when we r busy with our lives we ignore each other for a while... but i know whenever she needs me i will be there for her, and whenever i need her she will also be there in no time.
I believe this is love, and God blessed me with it, and I know He will continue 2 bless me.
