What is Love?

If You Love Someone


If you love some one because you think that he or she is really gorgeous ...
then it's not love .. it's ~ Infatuation ~......

If you love some one because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you shouldn't ... then it's not love.. it's ~ Compromise ~.......

If you love some one because you think that you cannot live with out his touch ....
then it's not love .. it's ~ Lust ~......

If you love some one because you have been kissed by him ...
then it's not love.. it's ~ Inferiority complex ~......

If you love some one because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feelings ..
then it's not love .. it's ~ Charity ~......

If you love some one because you share every thing with him ...
then it's not love... it's ~ Friendship ~.......

but if you feel the pain of the other person more than him even when he is stable and you cry for him ... that's ~ LOVE ~ =

if you get attracted to three people but stay with him without any regrets...
that's ~ LOVE ~

If you let him go knowing that he has to go but he doesn't want to ...
that's ~LOVE~

Trials and Temptations

I was asking Cheryl about the difference between tests (or trials) and temptations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Testing and tempting are 2 different things. Firstly, the source. Test comes from God while temptation comes from the devil.

James 1:13-14 tells us clearly that God will not tempt us: "When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed."

In the NT, Jesus was tempted by the satan when He was in the desert 40 days.

Also in the NT, we saw that Jesus prayed to the Father, asking Him not to lead us into temptation. What it means? Satan needs to get permission from God to tempt us! In Job 1:12, "The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger."

We have to bear in mind that when we face trials & temptation, we are to continue to seek God in prayer because "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." (1 Cor 10:13)

Back to tests. Tests exist to help us to gain another spiritual level, if we pass the test. In James 1:2-4, we are reminded by Paul to "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

We have to learn to see things through the Spirit. I will encourage you to see, think, hear & speak through the eyes, mind, ear & mouth of Jesus; have the mindset Jesus have. Ask & you shall be give, that's what God says, if you pray for His will be done.

I'd say she gave a good answer to the question. Seems she's more than meets the eye.

the heat is killing me!! bah.. I need air con..

waiting till the cows come home..

Am making a vcd of the sermons during the church camp. It takes 3+ hours to transfer the 1 clip from the CD to my comp.. Kinda expected it though as each clip is a little over 1 GB. It's still going on in the background as I'm typing this.. looks like it's going to be a long wait.. =/

walking dead

I'm stifled to death staying at home. Having nua-ed 2 days away, I declare that I need to go out!! Anyone wants to ask me out? I'm sooooooooo BORED and DEAD at home, I feel like a zombie now.

Get me out from this nightmare!!

Missin' someone?

Have you ever missed someone and felt terrible cos you reckon that he/she doesn't miss you?

You'll be sitting ard wondering if you meant anything to him/her, or he/she ever knows you existed.

Rushing to the phone once you received a msg hoping that it's him/her.

Sitting in front of the TV or holding a book hallucinating abt him/her.

Nuaing on the bed and thinking of the last time u guys were out together.

Logging on to the internet hoping to see him/her online.

Looking ard on the train wondering if he/she could be there.

I guess missing someone is part of growing up, which exposes us to loneliness and a feeling called emptiness. Its awesome to miss someone, knowing that you really care and indulge in the feeling of loving n caring for him/her. But missing someone and not knowing if he/she is feeling the same is dreadful.

So if you miss someone, tell him/her and at the same time, ask if they miss you too. Don't let the feeling of missing someone become jealousy or paranoia.

Plucked (and edited) this from somewhere on the Net. Kinda true.. 

So to all my friends, you are missed by ME!! =P

shocks..

Lately, I've been receiving minor shocks. Details as follows.

1) I went for a blood test recently. One of the analysis, the measurement for the liver, for a normal person it would have to be below 51 but mine was like more than 3 times the amount at 163. So the doctor asks if I drink or smoke.. But I don't do either, so she says it's kinda dangerous for this to happen. Going for a re-test 2 months from now, if it's still just as bad, I'd have to go for an ultrasound to determine the cause.. =/

2) Yeah!!! I won a pair of Dim Sum Dollies: History of Singapore tickets. But.... the show is a Sunday Matinee at 3pm which would clash with choir. bah.. so sad right.. Anyone wants them?

3) Today is the 20th of June, and I just got informed that my piano exam is on 12th July!!!!! I'm so dead.. Looks like I have to bitter practice and practice for the next few days.. The neighbours are going to have to tahan to all the noise I'm going to create.. haz..

4) I closed my student account at a certain driving centre and they said the cheque would be delivered to me in 3 weeks time. Well, after 3 weeks of waiting, still no cheque but I was having reservist in the 4th week. 5th week I was in m'sia and this week is the 6th week. Upon calling the centre, it was eventually discovered that they mailed the cheque to a wrong person.. super lousy administration and finance departments ya? But thank God, as the cheque is in my name to me so the person couldn't do anything to it. Now a new cheque is on it's way to my house.

5) guess that's all. any more shock, I'd better get prepared for a heart attack.. =P

funny

wow

This is highly cool!!

Unanswered prayers?

I asked the Lord for strength so that I may accomplish things.
But He made me helpless so that I could learn to trust and obey.

I asked the Lord for health so that I can do many things.
But He made me weak so that my service might be focused.

I asked the Lord for riches so that I can be happy.
But He made me poor so that I may learn prudence.

I asked the Lord for power so that people can hold me in awe.
But He made me small so that I will depend on him.

I asked the Lord for everything so that I can enjoy life.
But He gave me life so that I can enjoy everything.

Knowing you..

I lay my whys before your cross

in worship kneeling,

my mind too numb for thought

my heart beyond all feeling:

And worshipping,

realize that I in knowing you don't need a why.

planning

Popped by Joan's blog and saw that she has planned her modules for the coming AY.. Maybe I should start to chart my path too though I don't really know what I want to take next semester. All I know is my general account is too low to take cross faculty modules this coming semester so I will have to stick to arts mods which will be quite easy to plan a 3 or 4 day week. Guess I'll try to clear all my history level 2 modules asap this coming AY before hoping over to other faculties so that my CAP is a little higher to afford the high risk of taking those 'foreign' modules. Hmm.. There aren't any interesting history modules this coming semester think I'll just have to take whatever that comes along. =/

silly me at work again..

I have been subscribing to daily devotionals from crosswalk and have been using it for QT for the past few months.. Lately, I realised the material is a little inclined to the fairer sex but I didn't really bother until yesterday I went back to crosswalk website then I found out. It was a devotional for women.. LOL.. I couldn't believe that I had been using a wrong devotional material for the past few months but then some of the days the words of encouragement and admonishment helped a lot in my walk with the Lord. I have since made the necessary changes but I must say I'm still quite the silly boy I was. Silly me.. =P

Hoping for?

It feels weird hoping for something that will never have any chance of happening right? Yet, hope is something that gives one a purpose and objectives in life to carry on, to strive towards an imaginary goal which appears as a mirage. But given time and patience, the ever disappearing mirage would one day become a reality, a tangible outcome. As long as hope is not lost, all things will have an answer and an end.
