ONE Heart to GIVE (a late post)
July 8, 2009i know this is late but i still want to publish this. ha ha
*******************************************************************
February is the give-all-for-your-loved-one month that’s why the love merchandise is in.
I was struck when a friend handed me a red envelope. At first I was thinking it was late for the Chinese New Year but then when I saw the heart-shaped candy attached to the lid, I realized how stupid I was. She smiled as I accepted the ‘gift’ and then she uttered ‘For you my friend, happy single awareness day’. Sweet but I admit it, I was bitter. She did that to all of us; those who didn’t have a date for the valentine but didn’t even care to find one. At that moment, I felt anxious without knowing the reason why. The antics didn’t seem enough to justify the anxiety rushing over my veins. It felt like I am about to do something wrong; something I must or perhaps must not do. I drained my brain cells thinking about it until finally I gave up.
It was Friday and before I merged with the crowd for the Bamboo thingy, I decided to first put of my armour and hurried to the sanctuary. I remember walking towards the place with my friends and I told them I was expecting something to happen which in turn they guessed to be something romantic. I yielded to their guessing, to the idea of having a ‘perfect date’ for that night.
ONE plus ONE equals ONE. Those are the first words that struck me. Algebra tells me to oppose and defend him but because of my traumatic math classes, and because of my trust in the speaker, I agreed. And as I yielded to the phrase, realization sank in and I caught myself wondering.
**************************************************************
God created Adam and provided him all his needs at the right time. It was a perfect way of living and so Adam praised and loved God with all of his being. He knew what he was about to do during the span of his life, and it’s none other than to praise and glorify God’s name until his death. In short, he was content and he was in a good relationship with the creator. Amidst the perfect life, God knew something is lacking. He knew He has to give Adam more and so He created Eve out of Adam’s ribs. That was the start of the first carnal love story and there was no doubt Adam loved God more.
***************************************************************
Trying to figure out what was in the message that I could digest before the end of the service, I tried to play dead for a couple of minutes but the husky voice of the preacher jolted me back as he told the congregation, “YOU THERE, WILL YOU ENTRUST YOUR LOVE STORY WITH GOD?” And then there was the gist, do I really need to wait for God to give me my man or should I run the world and try to find him? I’ll be a hypocrite if I say I just want to be single but whenever I think of the question, the idea of playing the I-will-wait-for-you drama seems not that bad. AH! I don’t know. What’s certain is the fact that there are 3 things I need to satisfy in order to meet my ‘God’s Best’:
1. I need to establish a deeper relationship with God and enjoy it in order to be complete.
2. I have to believe that I already know my destiny. I know who will I serve and how will I serve him . And then all that’s left to ask , will be , “Lord, with whom?”
3. I need to be contented like Adam. I don’t need to be anxious about anything.
I know once I’ve already satisfied these conditions, my ‘God’s Best’ will walk right in front of my face and tell me how long he has been searching for me. Only then can I tell myself, “This is the love story written by God”.
