To love is to lose...That is what I've learned for this past few days...It's the hardest thing to do, the bravest and the heroic. If you really love someone you have love him or her without condition or exemption- that you just love this person because of something but because of LOVE, nothing more nothing less...When you love someone you have to ready to lay all your cards, you have to give up your dreams. goals in life, you have to give all the things that could give happiness to your love one, you have to love that person with all your heart and all of who you are and the worst and bravest thing is you have to give up your life for person...That's what you call love...It's the rigid sacrifice that you can ever make to your love one...And Jesus have set the best example of it...Jesus showed His true love to us by giving everything for the sake of our own happiness. He gave up His thrown, His possessions, His name, even His life...for us...for you and me...Isn't it amazing and privileged to know that Jesus who is the Son of God, the King of all Kings, the Son of the Creator of the earth loves you and me besides our sinful acts, our wrong doings???...Isn't it a great news that we will not anymore suffer to hell because of the sins that we've done because of this Man who gave up His life for us??? Aren't we supposed to be happy and thankful to God because of what He have done to us??? That He let lose His Son for the sake of our own happiness??? Truly that God is a loving God, a wonderful God, an Everlasting and Our Creator and Savior in the Name of Jesus...
Now I realize that I've never love anything,and anyone yet. For my 21 years of existence here in this earth, I've realize that I've never showed love to anyone or anything, it's because I've never did those things in my life or if ever I did I thought of myself, my selfish self...For example in my circle of friends, I just love them for the reason that I need them in my ups and down in life. Upon accepting Jesus, I've realize that I'm wrong, self-centered and selfish in my love to my friends. I should never think of my own benefit but of what benefit others. I should love them not for the reason that i need them but of we need each other in our life. Another example is my family, God made me realize that I've been again selfish of my love to them. I just love them because I'm too dependent on them and I'm afraid to be loose them and I'm afraid all alone...And it's really true that I can't afford to loose them and hurt them especially, but according to the Bible specifically in 1 Corinthians 13:6, "it (love) does not rejoice at wrongdoing , but rejoices with truth," love would never be happy with lies. And keeping them in my arms forever without showing them and expressing my true love would be foolishness to them and to my part... That's why I'm preparing myself to truly love them by letting them happy and not too much dependent on them but rather to God. I know it really hurt to oppose what they would want you to do but I will be fool and selfish to myself and to God if I obey them which I can't forgive myself. I'd rather obey God now than any man. I'd rather be with Him than anyone else in this world. Thanks to God for adopting me, for being my true Father in heaven and in earth...
We may face a lot of challenges in our life such this but God is reminding us that He will always be there for us...Hebrew 13:5," I will never leave you nor forsake you..."
And now, I'm learning to lose myself to others, to somethings because I'm ready to love...
John 3:16,"for God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life," tells of the great meaning of love of God to us...Share God and spread love!
