The title tells it all. Hello, again, my dear readers! Today, the Christian Fellowship of SMK Taman S.E.A. held its very first meeting of the year at Block C. The theme was Amazing Grace. We sang the song, we heard the message, and we acknowledged just how wonderful this God-given privilege is.
I'm all about synonyms today, so I'm going to start the topic with a simple question: Do you know what the CF theme is for this year? If you don't, it's "LOVE". Yes, that pleasant, desirable feeling never lets you down.
Love ... (from Macmillan English dictionary): the feeling of liking and caring for someone such as a member of your family or a close friend
Love is also known as ...
Affection: a feeling of liking and caring about someone or something.
Infatuation (not a positive side of the topic): a strong feeling of love that seems silly, especially because you do not know the other person very well.
Adoration: 1. a feeling of great love and respect for someone
2. the worship of a god
Passion: a powerful emotion such as love or anger
Desire: a strong feeling of wanting to have or do something
There is unconditional love - (love that forgives everything and asks for nothing). That may seem like God's love, but only the upper half of the description truly suits it. God does ask for something from us - He wants us to love Him back and have a relationship with Him! Wow, that's more gracious than asking for nothing!!!
There is also unrequited love - (when you love someone but they do not love you). No one wants this. In the same way, show God you love Him by obeying his commands. Oh yeah, and don't forget to forgive the mean girl for calling you that nasty name behind your back. God wants us to love others, just as He has loved you.
What other words remind you of love? Is it Hawaiian pizza? Your best friend? Parents? God? Which one?
