Agape...

~Excerpts of RBC Ministries, Our Daily Journey: 17th March, 2009~

God’s selfless love overflowed the boundary of the Trinity at creation. He did not need to create you and me, but it is just like God—who is love—to create others to love. His matchless love is reflected in the perfect relationship experienced by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three Persons selflessly revealing the beauty of God in their individual roles—all one loving God. Jesus modeled this reality when He prayed in Gethsemane, “Father, if You are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from Me. Yet I want Your will to be done, not Mine” (Luke 22:42).

God “does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve,” but “is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him” (Psalm 103:10,13). His selfless way continues despite our sin. He is “slow to get angry,” giving us time and space to repent of our sin and turn to Him (v.8). God “loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son” (John 3:16).

Pastor A. W. Tozer wrote, “What comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” But today, our problem is not so much what enters our mind when we think about God, but rather that we’re not thinking about Him enough. Like a distant rich uncle, God tends to come to mind only when we need something from Him. Perhaps we would think more about Him if we better understood who He is. Today, let’s truly think about God—Creator, Redeemer, and selfless Lover of you and me.

Love Everlasting...

愛是永不止息...

愛一個人， 要了解，也要開解； 要道歉，也要道謝；要認錯，也要改錯；要體貼，也要體諒； 是接受，而不是忍受；是寬容，而不是縱容；是支持，而不是支配； 是慰問，而不是質問；是傾訴，而不是控訴；是難忘，而不是遺忘； 是彼此交流，而不是凡事交代；是為對方默默祈求，而不是向對方諸多要求； 可以浪漫，但不要浪費；可以隨時牽手， 但不要隨便分手。 不要輕言放棄！否則對不起自己

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails... (Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance... Love will last forever)

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
