Thats what i long for.
you're my God-sent angel, and you'll always be mine..Since today is special day, I shall blog some of my views about the people around me and a little about my private life..
Valentine’s day is coming.. Not to spoil any one's mood here, but I just want to point out my views..
To start off, I just want to comment about what do people, to be specific, young Christians really think about the terms, "build our relationship upon on God." Do they even have any idea what is the meaning of that phrase?
First of all, are they so sure that the other partner is the ideal one from God? Have they even pray and ask God about it? Do the people like their parents, Christian friends and leaders around them, approve of their relationship? Do they have a good communication with one another? And most importantly, is God placed squarely in the middle of their love lives? If all the answers are no, then how on earth are the couples going to "build their relationships upon God.." Sounds ironic huh?
Well in relationships, beside loving each other, the next thing the couples must do is to honour God.. Relationships are blessed by patience, purpose and a clear grasp of reality..
Today I see many Christians are disillusioned with the way romantic relationships are handled.. Everyone including me, desperately wants something better.. Yet we should always pursue an intimate relationship with the opposite sex based on scriptural values and a radically God-centered view..
I believe that getting our romantic relationships right as Christians means seeing God's glory as the ultimate purpose of any relationship.. Christian couples glorify God in their relationships when they put their needs aside and base their decisions on what serves the interest of the other person.. It is an expression of sincere love and the defining mark of a Christian relationship..
To add on, a couple committed to God's glory places their ultimate hope in God, not in each other.. Before two people can please God as a couple, they must first be individuals who want God more than anything else and who know that only He can satisfy their deepest longings of their souls..
What I am seeing now is that Christians couples are misusing the terms, "building our relationship upon God.." If God is not the middle man of any intimate relationship, I believe that that relationship is only driven by emotions and own desires.. Many couples think that obedience to the Word of God can be based on feelings.. However, its just not true.. People on a God-glorifying relationship want God's will more than anything else and follow the commands of the Bible no matter what the cost..
Seek first the Kingdom of God, and He shall provide you with all your needs.. Honour Him, and He will honour you.. I believe God answers prayer because He has never stop answering my prayers.. (:
Relationship between wisdom and romance is like the one between a string and a kite. Romantic love is the kite that catches the wind and tenaciously heads for the sky: wisdom is the string that tugs downward holding it back..________________________________________________
Today is my first year water baptism anniversary.. Looking back, I've never regret making the decision to ask my parents' permission to get water baptised.. Initially, my parents were not very supportive of me doing so.. Yet they could see how keen I was to get myself baptised, so praise God, they finally allowed..
And I know after that day, my life had changed.. The moment I came out from the water, I sensed the Holy Spirit saying, "you are now a new man and the old man has died.." Oh heaven.. The feeling of going into the water and coming out was totally different.. Its awesome!
And guess what.. Since long time ago, I wish that one day I will be able to get water baptised in River Jordan, just like Jesus did.. Imagine the heaven really splits open when you come out from the River, and God calls out to you saying, "you are my beloved son/daughter.." Oh heaven, I reckon it will be the best day ever I live on this earth.. Amen?!
Well, beside being my special day, I just want to thank God for someone wonderfully created, 24 years ago into this world.. As a result of him, my life has became more colourful and filled with laughter every single day..
Indeed, God always answer my prayers.. However, never have I imagine He would send someone like him into my life -someone like my cousin, Indrawan.. (:
I still remember the first time I met him, oh gosh.. I thought he was some kinda toot-toot guy who is timid and anti-social.. And during our trip at Bandong, I even tried to hide away from him.. The things is, he turned out to be a very friendly, sociable and humorous person.. And since my Daddy is a joker, He brought Indra and I together after we hanged out once at Mega Mall.. I got to know more about him and I did not realise that I was starting to like him -as a cousin, of course.. Hence after that day, we went out together everyday and he would drive me around in his motorbike.. I reckon the best and unforgettable times were I went to his house to stay over, twice.. We chat through out the nights and it was the first time I opened up and shared about my life to one of my kins.. Ever since then, our kinship has became very strong..
Honestly speaking, he is the only guy I treasure and dote the most in this world.. Not because he is my cousin, his look, how understanding he is or how close we are.. Simply, I know that he is God-sent "angel" into my life and thus I want to cherish him..
Personally, I am certain that I'm quite independent and strong emotionally.. I've learn not to rely on people much or cry in front of people unnecessarily.. Just that, I only rely on those who share very close relationship/friendship with me.. They are the ones who I will turn to when my world seems so dark and hopeless.. They are the ones who allow me to cry and just be weak.. And then they will give encouragements and strength for me to stand up again.. And Indra, is one of them..
His voice and sense of humor have never and I mean never, fail to make me laugh and put aside all the my anxieties.. With him, I've became a much cheerful person, inside out.. He has taught me that this world can actually be a beautiful place to live in..
