299th post. i like that number.

okay this might be a long post cos i don't think I'll be blogging anymore till after promos which is only in about less than 2 weeks time.
oh yes before that i apologise for the weird thing that happens every time you scroll to read the posts. i have no idea why it disappears. hmm.

anyway besides being an ultramugger these few days, I've been giving a lot of thought about my relationships. With God, and with others.
I think my focus on relationships have all gone haywire. Today's sermon, although was on husbands and wives on the book of Ephesians, i believe it spoke to me; not that i intend to get married now; but what i mean is that God somehow used this i thought was totally irrelevant sermon to speak to me about my relationships.

Love is a choice,

I have probably romanticised love a little too much, when actually the basics of all love begins with God, and I have sorely failed to see that point. God's love is unconditional but Man's love, no matter what, at some point in time will still face challenges that can threaten it. That's why I believe God's love is so powerful, the very fact that its poured out on the cross for all to see has demonstrated the fact that He loves us so much. We don't deserve such love for we are sinners but God still loves us.

I have learnt to realign my focus on relationships. To establish good relationships, first honour God and then he'll honour them. I remember reading in Joshua Harris' book that the very simple underlying secret of his steadfast relationships is that he honours God first. Put God first. How simple.

But as simple as it sounds, we all still fail to do that because we don't always walk on the right path. Temptations always lure us to evil and lead us away from God. I admit I've been there done that. But today's sermon served as a loving reminder from God, nudging me back to His right path once more. Hopefully I can continue to keep the faith and run the race and I will stop romanticising the ordinary. Perhaps it is still alright to think fancy, but ultimately, honour will be my focus. Honour Him.

not a feeling. ♥
