beauty of the Creator..

Is only about a month after school reopens and i have already been feeling stress crawling up my feet. Homeworks are pilling up on my desk, dull routines repeat itself again and again and again and again...... *sigh* BOREDOM JUST FILLS THE ENTIRE ATMOSPHERE!!

But there's still one thing for me to be glad of, i didn't sleep as much as last year already!! Hehehe..xD Yup.. i admit.. i always sleep in class.. and yeah.. i used to sleep very late(as in 3..4am ><) maybe because this year i'll be sitting for my SPM.. my body tuned itself to get tired easily.. and it made me sleep earlier(as in 12..1am =P).. haha.. i know.. i know.. that isn't very early to most people, but for some people.. like me.. can consider pretty early already... haha.. oh well.. i'm still trying(:

Today is Friday.. and school ends earlier.. (woohoo!! TGIF man!!xD).. hehe.. so i was on my way back home.. literally dragging my feet throughout the whole journey.. and then.. all of a sudden.. i catch a glimpse of AWESOMENESS as i look up at the blue sky.. indescribable feelings came rushing throughout my body and i had goosebumps.. i saw a formation of clouds that what seems to look like a ♥HEART.... light rays were penetrating it and had made it look as if it was radiating light on it's own!! Although it might seems common and ordinary to see such a phenomena, but to me.. it reflects the beauty, wonder and love of our ALMIGHTY LOVING GOD!!

As i gaze upon this beauty, i just can't stop pondering about His power and divine nature. While no one has seen the invisible God, He has chosen to be known. It is through the creation that we see the beauty of its Creator! I always find comfort and peace just by seeing and enjoying the reflection of God's beauty as He always reminded me that He cares for me.

TEENAGERS CONSTANTLY FEEL THE NEED OF GETTING INTO A RELATIONSHIP

Whenever the word, "RELATIONSHIP" pops up, the first thing that always pops up in MOST of the people's mind would be the BOY&GIRL Relationship(BGR). Ain't i right? I can prove my statement to those who doubted. I purposely change my "Relationship Status" in Facebook to see how people responds to it. Most of them do actually thought that i'm in a relationship(dating) with another girl, except for few that knew that i actually meant the RELATIONSHIP with GOD.(but they too, doubted)

Yes! It is not wrong for teenagers to have these kind of feelings. After all, it is a very normal and definite phenomena for growing up kids to experience. But the RELATIONSHIP that we actually craved for, isn't the BGR ones... but the AGAPE LOVE RELATIONSHIP... which is the one we should have with GOD.

Why do we have these kind of feelings?

As we are aging, our innocence do fades away with the years. And we started asking questions about LOVE, sense of belonging and attention. Slowly, we forget what LOVE is about and started seeking and creating LOVE according to our own convenience. God wouldn't let us get away easily! He gives us these feelings so that we could once again learn about LOVE. But unfortunately, like what i'd said before, because human tends to seek LOVE according to their own convenience and desires, they choose to take only two kinds of LOVE out of the three, which is Eros and Philia. The reason is because these two LOVEs are so much easier to practice than Agape Love.(to find out more about Agape♥, Eros♥ and Philia♥, click here!)

What makes AGAPE LOVE harder?

It is because of this LOVE that we, the world and everything that ever existed were created! Thus, AGAPE LOVE is the greatest LOVE of all! AGAPE LOVE also mean LOVING a person selflessly and without any conditions. It is these reasons that made AGAPE LOVE hard to practiced. Because it requires a LOT of sacrifices, which includes laying down ego, pride and 'face', eventually people turn to find alternative routes which don't require much sacrifices and pleases them more as they think.

But with only EROS and PHILIA, we will never find that satisfaction we want and the satisfaction we need. It is because these two LOVEs are very dependent on feelings, environment, circumstances and situation that eventually made it very subjective!

In the last post, i'd defined LOVE and also asked a question for you to ponder, "Why is LOVE the main source of most problems when LOVE is given by God and that He is LOVE?"

My answer to that question will be because God LOVE us so much so that He is not willing to create us as "robots", but instead, has given us chances to make our own decisions. When we are given chances to make our own decisions, many of us, would choose to satisfied our own needs and do everything in our own way. By doing this, we eventually turned the 2nd-best-gift that God has given to us, LOVE, into a selfish thing. (the best gift of all is His Son! =D)

p/s : The reason i made this project is neither to judge nor to pick on anyone. After all, i have no rights to judge anyone when i myself is not a perfect person. This project is made to show people the true meaning of LOVE and what is LOVE made for!! And in this project, i will be very open-minded. So i do wish that you all, readers woudn't be offended in a way or another and that you'll also be open-minded as well.

Why do i say people turn LOVE into a selfish act?

I'm going to be very honest to you all, people of the world define LOVE as satisfying-self. What do i mean by satisfying-self? In my life, i see a lot of people getting along with another person in thought of the other person would supply them with their needs and to satisfied their desires. Yes! What i am saying includes money & sex. If you don't believe me, see for yourself!! Switch on the tv. Read the newspaper. If you're still not convinced, go out to the streets and see! The world is telling us that LOVE is all about getting rich, satisfying our own needs and desires!! The true value and meaning of LOVE is gone! A lot of Christians too, had fallen to this world's lie, Satan's deception. And that's why, we Christian have to know what is the true meaning of LOVE!

What is DATING and is it bad?

I, myself is not much a fan of dating. In fact, i think dating is wrong. Why do i say it is wrong? The reason i see it not right because i see dating as a selfish act as well. Before i continue, you needed to know what is dating first. Dating is going out with a person that you most probably interested in, and that you want to spend time with him or her without any thought of life commitment, but instead, just to find fulfilment and self satisfaction from that person. You might ask, "If dating is wrong, then what should we do when we comes to finding a lifetime partner?". Well, the answer will be, "courting".

Courting basically means finding for a person that we truly LOVE so that we could spent our lifetime with that person. Till this point, i believe many of you are confused about this. But never mind, bear with me as i continue to explain to you in the next post. Do drop some comment if you have any questions. Stay tuned for Project Love~~
