True. Love. Wait

In recent days, my health again going down the slope. Because of the weather, the strong wind around, my chronic pain playing up every night. I had trouble in sleeping for weeks and get my concentration going. Psychologist need to reconsider my situation and instead up seeing her less I have to visit her more often. But the truth is, I thank God for letting me to rest while I sick.

Most of my closed friends know that I love to care about others. Caring in a sense I will give out all I can to help those in need. Even others have a bad argument with me or pulling down on me, I still choose to love them instead of hate them. Because that’s me, it’s the love from God that keeps my life going and move on to others.

However, the single most difficult pursuit for me is Truth and Love.

Hang on…. that sentence is grammatically correct! I know every English teacher (or even some of my friends who reckon they have better English than me) would like to pluralize it to read: “The most difficult pursuits are those of truth and love.” But that’s not what I mean to say.

Love is a difficult pursuit.

Truth is a tough one too.

But put them together, pursue true and love at the same time, you’re in for the ride of your life.

Love in truth. Truth in love. Never one at the expense of the other. Never the embrace of love without the torch of truth. Never the heat of truth without the warmth of love. Love indeed requires honesty and being truth to the other. To pursue both is our singular task.

Prayer: Father, help us to love one another even others may pull us down or hurt us before. Your love is the best medication that can heal everything, including our broken hearts. Help me to stretch out my hands and arms to those who desperately needs our love.

Scriptures to think about:

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices over the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures.” –1 Corinthians 13:4-7
