LOVE, a word that means so much, a word that carries so much weight, a word that calls for sacrifice that can often be so painful...
I'm beginning to realise that it's so hard to love.
I don't mean the BGR kind of love (yes that too is very difficult), but I refer to the common day loving...of friends, family and for me, my patients...
Was shopping for a gift for my parents' 23 anniversary and realised how much I didn't know them...was walking ard aimlessly, racking my brains for a gd and practical gift...but the more I realise how much a failure I was...That night, I had a long talk with my bro, n realised too how much I've neglected my siblings...
To my friends, they have all been such a blessing to me and I wish to love them as much. But there are often so much to give and honestly, sometimes I feel quite drained doing so. So many to care, so many to be concerned for...Even listenning can be tiring. Yet, I still love them...I still want to be part of their lives, to seek to share the joy that the Lord has blessed me with...
And not forgetting the many others I interact with everyday eg patients, tutors, shop keepers, bus drivers, neighbours...
There is so many to love!!! Yet there is only 1 me, an ordinary man with limited resources....真的是力不从心!!
"For God so LOVED the world that He gave His one and only son [to die for the world] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16 --> haha, even God had to sacrifice so much to love us. And what's more, He loved the WORLD!!!! Every single human being on earth...
Man, am I glad we have such a loving Heavenly Father who never runs out of love. I am humbled and reminded that I love not out of wat I have, but out of the overflowing love that God has for me. While my personal love bank is running low, God fills me so that I can love...
A friend asked why I can smile all the time...I guess the simple answer is that I'm overflowing with God's love :)
