True Love

Paul asked me last night what I would say if I had to choose between God's justness, or God's mercy.

I told him I would pick God's mercy any time. Not because it goes down more easy on myself... but because God would still have been just without His mercy, but He chose to be merciful as well.

I guess that's what love is. He didn't have to, but He did.

The next time one of us starts to think of our boyfriends or girlfriends "Well, its nothing really special that he did. After all, he's the boyfriend", we would do well to remember that he didn't need to... but he did.

And we can learn to appreciate it, instead of brushing off the person's gesture of love.

perhaps nobody knows what is sacrifice except the person doing it...
today i did a simple favour, but to the other party it was like some HUGE favour.
but no matter, i guess the key thing is that ... we do not have to do anything, but it was our choice. and when we do so without any expectation, none at all, we are close to feeling agape;
and so we can do things for the others' betterment, even if it will seem to hurt feelings, and by being seemingly cruel we are in deed kind.
I do not however agree that there is compromise to be made even temporarily, or at least it is dangerous to do so. All the people I know who chose to do (whatever) temporarily at the expense of God, never quite found the end of the temporary phase. (maybe all is sweeping, and there is still time and so maybe there is a chance, at least i hope so hahahaha in case one day i too become like this).However the common consensus is that there should not be a dichotomy between god and secular in our lives.

WHO THE FUCK READS BLOGS?????

  Just realised the number of views on my page. Absolutely bewildered by who out there still gets redirected to blogs. Surely no advertisers...
