Agape refers to divine love or unconditional love.Therefore, if anyone attaches conditions or reasons to why he or she loves you, then agape, unconditional love, has ceased. If someone uses the words “if,” “when,” or “because” when they say that they love you, this is not an unconditional perspective. Wherever there is a reason, there is a condition. Wherever there is a condition, there is expectation.Disappointment leads to division.
Sermon from Tim Healy this week was absolutely wonderful. The theme is Ending. There are 3 kinds of Ending in life:-
(1) Decided endings: those that you initiate. There are crucial factors linked to decided endings, such as fear, doubt, procrastination, sentimental attachement and etc. We need to have realisation of the need of change and develop sense of urgency to make such changes. For example, quitting bad habits, end a relationship which you think is not right.
When i heard about this, i realized that i did not do this well, especially in my past. I think I put too much of emotions and fear when i came to decide an end for something. I am so lucky that i learned this today because i still have another 2/3 of my life to do it better.
(2) Dictated endings: Those that other initiates. This kind of end happened without our choice. It is an unexpected ending. We cannot avoid this happen, but we can choose how we response to it. When things happened out of our hands, instead of hold it back, we should really accept it, embrace it and work with it.
Roman 8:28- We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him those whom he has called according to his purpose.
Therefore, when this kind of "end" happened to you, please stay strong and get over it. I always believe everything happened for a reason. Hold your faith and work with it.
(3) Divine endings: those that God initiates
Heb 10:19- He takes away the first so that he may establish the second "for his purpose".
When i was losing something good of mine, a relationship and friendship, I pondered why all these happened. I questioned. I doubt. I felt sad and tear. But, God knows before we asked from him. He lead me and keep telling me that "dun worry, you will be fine."
Today, when i was sitting in the auditorium listening to this sermon, i was touched. God is really great. He took away good things of mine and give me a greater one. Thank you Lord! In this moment, I have to thank You sincerely, "Thanks for the loves, joy and peace. Thanks for sending angels and thanks for sending the precious one to me."
Happiness can be simple as such, but it brings the joy in heart and it puts that smile on my face everyday.
When I first saw this photo in Vee's album, I was so touched to see LOVE between the birds. I do feel like to write more about this, but my brain is stuck due to the restless trip in last few days. Let me take a break and I will definitely continue with a refresh mind.

Love is true. Love is painful. Love is not easy. Love makes you laugh. Love makes you cry. Love is unconditional. Love accepts you just the way you are. Love protects, defends and fights to the end. Love prefers. Love will sacrifice all for the sake of another. Love is a choice. Love is not forced. Love doesn’t take advantage. Love respects. Love is continuing......forever after....
在我写这篇的时候,我身旁这位外国女士似乎很不适,我见他先生站着好久,起初我还以为他脚麻。他那不知所措的眼神让我意识到他在担心。我在包包里搜出了我出门之宝,让她摸一点在鼻孔外,我再帮她轻轻地按摩头一会,让她喝下一杯温水之后,她对老公说:“I feel a lot better now". 她的老公笑着对我说:“are you natural healer? You are AWESOME!”
把这日行一善的爱给妈妈! Mummy is AWESOME because her daughter is AWESOME!
Christ has set us FREE, to live FREELY in our life. I have NOTHING, but only YOU in my life. By having YOU in my life, i have EVERYTHING.

Did you know? That I'm contiguous watching you type on the phone Something as simple as hearing your tone It's enough for me to feel like I'm at home (oh yeah) Did you know? That each and every time you walk into a room My eyes are totally fixed on you I know you want to show me all that you can do But I think that you're confused
I don't ask for much But I don't need anything Baby all that I ask My only request All that I really need Is too share the same air that you breathe
Sometimes I just stay awake and watch you sleep And try to guess what you do in your dreams That's my favorite thing to do when you're with me (oh yeah) Did you know? That your smile lightens up through the night I like to think that happens when I'm on your mind I know you want to give the world to me tonight But you should realize

And I'll be okay, as long as you're here with me yeah Baby promise me that, there's no turning back I'll be fine honestly, if I can share the same air that you breathe So you don't have to prove, that your love is true Might give you the world tonight, cause I'l be satisfied If I'm by your side, I get a butterfly from looking in your eyes
I don't ask for much And I don't need anything Baby all that I ask My only request All that I really need Is too share the same air that you breathe
And I'll be okay, as long as you're here with me yeah Just promise me that, there's no turning back I'll be fine honestly, if I can share the same air that you breathe
Ohh.. Yeah.. Ohhh.. Ohhhh. Ooohhh.. If I can share the same air that you breathe
Agape refers to unconditional love. Therefore, if anyone attaches conditions or reasons to why he or she loves you, then agape, unconditional love, has ceased. If someone uses the words “if,” “when,” or “because” when they say that they love you, this is not an unconditional perspective. Wherever there is a reason, there is a condition. Wherever there is a condition, there is expectation.Expectation guarantees disappointment. Disappointment leads to division, which leads to divorce.
