Its s season of breakups again.
I never liked the idea of relationships that didn't last till marriage.
I coined them as "short-termed relationships"
But who'd have entered a relationship if they know it wouldn't have lasted in the first place?
It sure did feel very good during the start.
So did it for awhile later.
And many other times following.
But what really mattered at the end was the end of the relationship.
In every race, its the finishing that makes the record into history.
Thats why maybe in the start we should have listened to our elder counselors.
Oh wait, since when did he/she have one?
Ah.. nobody was there for him/her.
Possible.
Or somebody had been there, and tried to help, but he/she was proud.
Too proud to be humbled to listen, to obey.
Too afraid to open up and be accountable.
Maybe its the counselor also.
Can he/she be trusted?
Has he/she been proven faithful?
Does he/she know what to do or how to give wise counsel?
The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few.
Who are willing to be trained to fill the void?
It's going to take alot, but it'll be worth it.
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God is that they may be saved.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to estalish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."
For "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
How then shall they call on Him when they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"
But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
I was found by those who did not seek Me.
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.
And the main reason.
All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and contrary people.
What is love?
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
When you say you LOVE, does it include all these?
If it doesn't why use the word?
Did you say it just for fun? Was it for the thrill of a feel then?
How are your words valued now?
Who would ever believe them anymore?
Nothing is free.
Everything comes with a price that someone has to pay, is paying or has already paid.
So don't live your life like everything is free to you.
Trace the cost. Learn its Value.
Its like parents always tell us, we're still young and don't know the value of money yet.
What about the value of words? a life of someone else?
Someone sacriiced something down the road.
Who was it? And what did they sacrifice? What IS the value of that thing?
Oh, if people could just see and understand.
Right. Not everyone plays by the rules.
Thinking of it, true freedom is only found when you play within the boundaries of the rules.
Just imagine how nice, cool, awesome, glorious, happy, exciting, amazing and (every other good word) a relationship can be if both playeres followed this definition of love.
But its because people try to find freedom by going against the rules, which then brings lying, insecurity, loss of trust, closing up your heart.
What then is the purpose of getting into a relationship?
Here's an example. Ever heard of married patners keeping secret bank accounts?
Why is there a need in the first place. Explore that and find the root, think about it.
Who's committed to bring the change?
Are you?
If you are, know that I'm in with you as I've always been.

Oh BTW, talking about RO, I maxed my character's level yesterday.
Lvl 255! He's powerful now man.
You won! 2:24 AM
