finally had the time to listen to the sermon Upgrading Our Love by Pastor Wayne Cordeiro.
learnt lots, God spoke much.
indeed, upgrading our love is never the popular choice as it takes your blood and sweat to the test. no easy feat i should say.
"Love is less on emotions but more on character."
something that sometimes i overlooked, the reason why i love.
one thing that struck me hard was when Pastor Wayne talked about not to give love to only those whom we think deserve it. there and then, more than obvious the fact that, i am still a sinner. i confess, i'm not that loving after all. God aptly reminded me of the sharing shared during WAM nite - Jesus came for the sick, the poor, the weak and not for the healthy and rich. i am weak, poor and sick. what more do i have the right to choose who to love?
things happening now are never what i wish to experience and go thru'. i've failed to love people like how God did. people disappoint us at times but is love just so superficial? so unreal? i want to upgrade my love for God and for people. for my sheeps, for my family and for the lost. it's easy to love with your lips but difficult to love with your heart. loving others with all that you've got is good but loving others with all that God has is even better! i want to choose the latter.
Lord, help me upgrade my love a notch higher for that's the reason why i live.
