Yesh, praise God for heartaches, which tell us our hearts are still tender! :)
thank You my Lord for the Love You have given me for each and every of my gals. We love, because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
When i asked You "How to help? How to lead? How to give? How to love.......?"
You simply replied "Just love".
How Your succint answer magnifies Your wondrous unfailing Love!
Many people view guangliang's tong hua as a depressing song.
But i think it speaks of much joy to me. :)
Nope i do not have a callous heart.
The last line of the song conveys a heartwrenching desire to live happily ever after, to seek the fantasical ending of happiness and bliss. Nope i'm not yet leading a beautiful married life now or anytime soon, but my heart is already so sure the end of my road on earth is marked with joy and blessing, no matter what lies ahead from now. My Bridesgroom is the Lord Jesus; what greater blessing can there be than to have the Bridesgroom of the Church embrace you into the Heavens - where true joy, hope and peace lie?

going to attempt
Life is really exciting and full of passion when thou wilt let thy Heavenly Hand hold thee!
Behold Christ's boldness Thou plants in me!
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart . . .

Quote of today.
"Lord i do not want to shortchange You, of Your power and anointing that You want to bestow upon me. Use me Lord, more!"
~my prayer to my Lord. 22.03hrs.
Currently reading: Keep a Quiet Heart by Elisabeth Elliot.
Read merely the first two chapers, and they kept my heart really still and quiet - intense intimacy with the Lord. it's amazing. Amy Carmichael's hymnal poems, interspersed over the pages, are ever so succinct and soul-binding, like the sound of the rustling of leaves in a sudden gentle drift.
woohoo...more and more people have been saying that i could be a good counsellor when they see me talking with people. :> i can only thank my beloved God *grins*. For with no professional training in counselling, the only explanation for my faring so well in it is definitely and only God's wisdom, which 'He gives generously to all without finding fault, if we ask Him' (James 1:5). *smiles*
come to think of it, i've always felt that i'm cut out to be a counsellor since my jc days. But i never dwelled on it cos i didnt know how to head towards it, and also cos' of the lack of support from my parents about this. i still remembered the time when i told my dad i was seriously considering social work/sociology for my university course, and the first question from him was 'what is it?'. And then upon defining it for him, he replied 'dont want lah. cant earn much money.'
But like what i always say, God always knows my heart. :>
He's bestowed upon me what i needed to head towards the passions of my heart, and is using them to bless others. This is His way of confirming His leading my every step in my life too. By glorifying Himself. :>
It's always good to surrender your life and plans to God! woohoo!
Now as a Thumbs-up! Life Coach, i'm counselling really much too.
From all these, definitely He's also moving me towards my ultimate biggest dream - to be a pastor.
Call me Pastor Mirabel.
Ha kidding. =P
as i was sharing with ah whale how the Holy Spirit taught me to love thru' Himself, it dawned upon my mind that we should exactly use the Holy Spirit, and not the human heart, to love others.
"The heart is deceitful above all things.." (Jeremiah 17:9)
Come on, let's admit it. Our hearts are so limited and so capricious. How much can it hold? When was the last moment you felt your love for someone else fluctuate like the tides of the seas?
The Holy Spirit is a person. He has feelings and emotions, like us. And His heart beats with much greater and confirmative love for every people. Let Him be the one to stir up our passion for the Lord and compassion for the lost. Let our every step be aligned to the Holy Spirit's, so that we can truly say, we live, do and serve all for Love.
