What is love?

It is heard that it is something that makes the one you love happy. Some say that it is a special bond shared between two people; whereby they unconditionally care and do things for each other and confide in each other.

There are also some jokers who think that physical intimacy such as holding hands, hugging and kissing is love. Some even say things such as "If you love me, you would do it". But i tell you the truth, what he or she is saying is "I don't care about your feelings or convictions, just satisfy my needs!"

It is also, unfortunately, heard that it love is just a feeling. An emotion that arises when you think of someone. Someone special.

But, listen to me. Love, is a choice.

What is love?

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 protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

East Coast Park with 4D1'08

Today was A-W-E-S-O-M-E. (But honestly, it's just okay.)

Seeing so many familiar faces again just made my day. Yea.

Too bad the number of people joining us this time round is a lot fewer. Some are either working while the rest are "pang sei king"s in the making.

Stepping into the macdonalds at ECP itself was already enough to send signals of nostalgy down my spine. There was this very, nostalgic feeling coursing through my veins. And, i just started thinking of the first time 4D1 went to ECP as 3D1. So many of us went that time. Only, that, i sort of took it for granted. Now; maybe it's too late to grumble.heh.

I was blading today! YAY. Rollerblading is very fun okay. This years CTSS blading team comprises of Darrin, Ying Ting, Hui Ling, Mitchelle and myself. Nicholas(wee) didn't want to blade this year. And Sin Yee couldn't come today. So sad can. Ha.

Anyway, after blading, we had some beach games. We played captain's ball for awhile. Then after, they started to play soccer as the girls all started to leave the game because they wanted to rest.

Quietly, I ambled, alone, to the shore. The concoction of the gold tinted light casting down on the dune was definitely pulchritudinous. Whilst i was admiring, the sea water crept closer and closer, brushing over my feet; sandy. As i looked into the infinite horizons, i started to think and contemplate, about how i've lived my 16 years of life. I started to think of things which i know has wasted me and things which might waste me.

I don't feel like blogging about this anymore.

Faith.

1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

2This is what the ancients were commended for.

3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

5By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

7By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

11By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he[a]considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

13All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. 14People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

17By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring[b] will be reckoned."[c] 19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.

20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.

21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones.

23By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

24By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. 25He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. 26He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.

29By faith the people passed through the Red Sea[d] as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.

30By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.

31By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.[e]

32And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, 33who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. 37They were stoned[f]; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

39These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. 40God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

I have faith in my King, my Lord, my God.

I have faith that He will save ALLLLLL my family members and friends!

Yeah, praise the Lord! Amen?:)

Acts 20:35

"35In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' " Acts 20:35

And some are best left unspoken; for a better friendship.
