this thing about love.... [ 6:02:00 pm ]

Ahem..didn't mean to be away for a week long. But if you're reading this now, thank you very much.

This week has been very good for me, in case you're wondering.. :) Learnt alot from God and also reflected alot about my own life after listening to Affabel, the audio drama by Pst John Bevere and it's all thanks to Jim and Van that I managed to have it on my iPod. ^Thank You!^

Anyway, I know everyone's in this lovey-dovey mood this week and indeed, love is in the air. Though I think V-days can become quite overdone at times, it is really heartening to see all around couples are celebrating their love.

Something I'm really thankful to God for is my parents' relationship. I was really overwhelmed when my mum came into my room this morning, gushing like a young teenage girl, telling me about how my dad wrapped his arms around her and wished her "Happy Valentine's." The radiance of love in her was so evident..I'm really moved. I'm just so grateful to God for preserving their love for each other after all these years and even through their rough patches. :))

Just the other day, a dear colleague at work broke news of her coming wedding later this year and I was so shocked and happy for her at the same time. Shocked because she wasn't attached for a long, long time..but I guess the suitable person did come along and she said yes! I really admire her bride-to-be look; it is sooooo radiant, and her eyes sparkle, really.

I remembered I used to ask God many questions on love and how He patiently responded to me. Of course, it's not just the eros love that I asked Him about. But when it came to the topic of relationships, I remembered feeling myself cringe and asking Him numerous stuff like "how will I know if he's really who You want me to be with" and "what if he is someone I don't like/ am not attracted to...", stuff like that.

Then it came to a point when He just simply asked me "do you trust Me?".

Maybe this question might hit you too. Because it really struck me and it did cut my heart. This question shifted my view of God as God to God as a loving Abba Father. It is not about Him being as a dictator and ruling over our lives, forcing us to be with someone He thinks is "good for us" and yet happens to be someone whom we don't feel attracted to. I have a feeling there are many out there who do think it's such a case.

Since that question, I began to really see how God wants to give us the best in everything. It's funny because He reminded me of how my own dad scanned my best friend from head to toe the first time he sent me home when we were sixteen. Although there really was nothing between us, the seriousness of my dad in checking him out really touched me. And so, God pointed out to me that just like my own father will want to protect me and do all he can to make sure I get a great guy, He wants too, and even more. :)))

After that lesson walk with Him, I never wanted to ask God those questions anymore. Or rather, I don't feel there is a need to anymore.

I trust Him.

* Have a happy Valentine's, guys and gals.. and even if you're still single, be carefree to celebrate the love you share with those in your life.

Someday, we'll all have our own love story to pen. - Lynn
