Article on Love, imperfections and God centered relationship

I am here again as usual in the school library slacking after clocking in my card. And not very long ago, I had thoughts creeping up my mind again. And I am trying to recollect what they were…

These past few days I am not exactly sure what happened to me, I have more frequent dreams, divine interventions and visions, but I have confidence that whatever that is preached here will be for a greater good because it has come from Him. And I am sure of this. I am sure He wants to encourage all of us with His words. Words from a friend like me, or whatever you call it. You can choose to listen or to dismiss this as nonsense. Entirely your choice.

Oh yea,.. btw last night before I slept, upon seeking God, I managed to be reminded of something that I want to share with all of you people. God wants to encougare you all:

-Love one another as if today is their last day. How true is this phrase, really. When you think about it, it can seem a bit distant and riduculous. You might say, “Huh? it`s not as if my partner or loved one is going to evaporate from the face of this world tomorrow!”  Hmmm, kindda true.. But you will never know. You will never be sure 100% today if you`re going to see him or her the next day. Sounds serious? Yes it is.  What if tomorrow, I got knocked down by a car or a bus (touchwood), are people going to mourn for me? Is my mum going to be happy or sad for me? Are
YOU going to cry for me?  So take this chance EVERY DAY to REALLY love your loved one because you will never know what will happen to them tomorrow.

-Don`t take your loved one for granted, thinking that you would definitely see them the following day or something. Yes, it is good to anticipate. It means that you love seeing him or her. You love spending every quality time with him or her. So remember when you fight or have a quarrel, always try to resolve it on that very day itself. Don`t wait till tomorrow, because again, you are never 100% sure what tomorrow may bring. Resolve your problems as soon as it arises.

Now about Loving each other,

When I say, “I love you, Ich liebe dich, Je taime vous, Tiamo..” or anything like this, it doesn`t ONLY mean I love you. It means this: I want you. I need you in my life. I want to learn life`s lessons together with you. Let`s fail and succeed together. Let`s impact others together.  I wanna be a better lover to you each day. Because I know I am not perfect. Only with you am I whole. Well, okay, not 100% perfect yet, or I might as well be God. But you make me feel as if God is near. Infact God is there when we`re in communion together.  This is said through a verse in the holy bible, “When one or more of you comes together in my name, I will be there. “

This may sound like a marriage between two souls. But how true is this, we must learn to love one another as the Lord your God loves you. Your “marriage” with your God is eternal and intimate. Every minute of our life is a prayer to the Almighty.

-If we`re already a perfect partner for each other, then our relationship would be very dull and boring. Because there would be no more room for improvements. There would be no more room for discussions, tears or satisfaction when you know you have impacted the other soul interwined in you. Love is made special with the continual tearing and building of relationship. This not only makes the love and bonding special, but also more eternal and stronger. Only after you know how much you`ve impacted your lover`s life, you will taste the sweet fruit of true joy.

The harder it is to achive that wholesome love after all the pains and joys we experience together, the more we will treasure it, knowing that it doesn`t come easy. 

The love that is built this way is also naturally stronger and harder to break apart.  It is not so easy to destroy. (You will feel the beauty of it. Just look at some of your mum and dad.)

The opposite is also very true: The easier it is for you to obtain your love, the easier and faster you will lose it. (You will not treasure it that much because you think it`s not worth your tears and pains in the first place.)

So I just want to encourage you ppl this: Don`t be discouraged when faced by a trial or problems in your love life, because at the end of the long rocky road, you will eventually see green pastures. Just trust in God and put him in the centre of your relationship. This is very true and I will explain it further later.

Now, just to add to yesterday`s discussion on imperfection.

-”Imperfection is what maketh a man.” MMM09 

A face without a single flaw is nothing more than just like a stone face of a roman godess carved out of marble. No matter how grandious or beautiful that statue is, it is lifeless. Void of imperfection.

“Imperfection is what makes you beautiful.” MMM09

Something I believe makes a Relationship:

Relationship: (Real)+ Relate+ Ship

(I put the word “real” in the equation because it is read and pronouced just like the word, “RELA” in ‘RELAtion’)

God=  real (absolutely!) A relationship cannot be fake/pretentious or the relationship will have no meaning and no purpose at all to begin with. What do you want out of a fake relationship, tell me! I believe nobody here wants to have a fake relationship to begin with.

God= Love  (That is already proven by some other people, even in the bible!)

So that equation makes: Love is Real (Is it not?)

Relate= relating to one another well (consists of 2 persons in this context, you can`t possibly relate to yourself alone.)

Ship= A ship on the ocean needs someone(a captain/your lover) to navigate it or it will be lost in the waves. (esp during a storm(problem), etc) 

The word, “Ship” is also the end of the word, “Worship”. Therefore we need to worship God continually as we are in the relationship, be it with your lover or with Him, or with Him in a strong marriage between two people.

So with this, I can deduce that a relationship needs to be real(not fake) to work. And it needs God to be in the centre of IT. Since it is already proven that God is real and that God is Love. So Love must be real! God`s love, that is!! It is so real!

In a relationship, we also need to relate to one another because no relationship will work if you just focus entirely on yourself and your selfish desire. And don`t forget to include God in your relationship. Studies have proven that marriages last longer and more satisfying when God is in the center of it.

So, yea. This is what maketh a relationship. A real and God centred one. Hope this helps. =DD

 

Finally, last point for today: We`re imperfect lovers coming together as ONE. Let`s embrace each other with an open mind and spirit, having a unquenchable thirst to learn from each other in love. Let`s grow in our love stronger together and learn to correct each other.  Commitment is the key. Your heart is the keyhole.  So may I put this key into your heart so that I may unlock its beauty and splendour?
