LOVE UNTOLD

Someone once asked me what does the expression "love untold" mean. I couldn't explain it very well at the time. Considering it now, it has the uderlying meaning of loving someone dearly but without them fully understanding exactly how much you do. So it made me think, what if a person lived their entire life not knowing the Lord loves them?

Oftentimes a person is hesitant to tell someone how they feel in fear of rejection or feelings being unrequited. However in this case we know God loves man, 'we' being those who have touched the Lord's love. I guess I come to realize we shouldn't be so afraid to tell others that God loves them. Even if the feeling wasn't mutual, wouldn't you still want to know? Even if your're weren't expecting it or not interested, wouldn't it better to know in case one day there was a change in heart? As the banner song goes, the goal of the gospel is that loving the Lord Jesus with our best love...

Lately I've also been pressed with the words proper understanding. Sometimes people try to fully analyze and figure things out before taking action. They need "proper understanding" or reassurance. It is important to be rational and soberminded. However there is also our instinct and intuition which we shouldn't completely ignore. A lesson to learn is not only listen and trust the leading of the Spirit, but also to obey. I remember reading from a ministry excerpt, if we are unwilling to obey, why should the Lord bother speaking and enlightening us on particular matters? Guess our whole being needs to be before Him.

WALK AWAY

How can someone say goodbye to people without them thinking that you’re abandoning them? How I can explain to old ones that my ”walking away” is just temporary while I’m finding my way back to my own self… to re-gain strength and fill the loss. I have run out of words. I’m scared that I’m feeling I have run out of love to share. Half of my life was spent sharing and that nothing has been left to spare.

To strangers, friends and blog-hoppers… thanks for spending time reading the write-ups. To my family, I wish I can always go back home and you’ll see just the way the world and the people see me as I am. I may have not been totally good as everyone perceived, but I cannot remember any instance that I failed to show compassion I’ve struggled to show. You have always been prioritized… in my 22 years of existence… would it not be too much to ask, that the remaining years be spared of to me.

As I close this, I wish everyone a good life, a good journey and a heart filled with compassion. May the good Lord constantly shower us with blessings and guide as always towards meeting Him halfway. Maraming Maraming Salamat God is watching over us… Include me in your prayers…
