In the beginning....


4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails
1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8

McDreamy : I was a jerk. Sometimes bf can be a jerk. Doesn't mean you can stop talking. You get that i'm saying sorry right?
Meredith : You yelled at me for no reason and then you walked away. Now you show up here.
McDreamy : Ok this is how it works. We fight sometimes and somebody apologizes.
Meredith : How am I supposed to know that?
Mcdreamy : You have never done this before?

God 'punishes' His Children?

When we face difficulties in life, we constantly ask ourselves some of these questions:
Why do we have to suffer through exams?
Why do my parents have to argue all the time?
Why did my boyfriend leave me for someone else?
Why does money has to be the root of all my problems?
Why do I need to face that irritating Girl every morning?
Why must it be Peter who has to die in dat accident??

"God, why are You allowing me to go through this misery??
Life is so unfair!!!"
We start pointing fingers at others and then God...

"If God loves us, He wouldn't let me through all this..."

Have you ever wonder that God put obstacles in our life
simply because
HE LOVES US??
But how can He allow us to be hurt if He really loves us?

Yes He is the Perfect One...
At the same time, He is also Our Father....

As much as a earthly father loves his children,
he would 'punish' his children...
so that they can learn their lesson...
Dun u tink our father/mother is hurting inside as well when they had to teach us thru the hard way?
I remember seeing tears in my mum's eyes when she used to cane me...
It hurts our parents more than we're hurt physically...
But because they LOVE us so much,
they want us to be a better person....

Just like God
as much as He loves us
He wans us to make us stronger...
Therefore He allow difficult situations(which we perceive as 'punishment')
in our life so dat we can learn better...
Bear in mind dat in every situation of our life,
there is a Greater Purpose behind...
there are always lessons to be learnt...
It depends on how much we allow God to work in us...
After all, He is Our Father....

To Gain is Pain?

"We build walls around our hearts to protect us from anyone on the outside getting in to hurt us. But that same wall which keeps people out, keeps us stuck inside."
-A fren, Pelupa Kawan-

Many times we try not to reveal so much of ourselves
cos we may tink dat de more ppl know bout us,
de higher risk there is for us to get hurt..
we're simply afraid...
But wat we sometimes do not realize is,
de thicker the wall we build around ourselves,
we're actually keeping ppl who really care away...

And so we learn to open up ourselves more..
When we finally do dat,
there comes another saying that goes like dis...

"The closer you come to somebody, the greater potential there is for pain."
-Cicak Man-

So tell me,
how shud we guard our hearts so dat we will not be hurt?
And at the same time, open our hearts to receive some love?
Hmmmmm......
Where do we draw the line?
