Feb 14 - A Scent Of Love

My Journey Of Love

1. My Wedding Day

    She felt inferior and told me she's just an ordinary woman. I assured her that she's different and totally special as compared to other women, that she's like lily among thorns. (2:2-3) She was yearning my presence with her. The commitment to each other without fear of deceit, manipulation and exploitation is the basis of our genuine love towards each other. (1:7) Oh, how I longed to see her...

2. Memories of Courtship

   Never have I seen such a beautiful woman. She was attending the vineyard, and so, I disguised myself as a shepherd to get to know her. Before I knew, our relationship grown and I decided to take her as my wife. My beloved, I will never let problems, conflicts and ravages of time to deter us from enjoying our love relationship, the gift from God (2:12, 13). I will remove everything that could potentially cause problems between us (2:15)

3. Memories of Engagement

    Today, I returned to her in the splendor of a king, to express my how much I love her and propose to her. (3:6-4:15) She accepted. (4:16) I knew it is awkward for the ones who will read my letter, but I continue to praise my beloved with beautiful imagery, for I know how vital it is for me to express my admiration towards her, both words and action to enhance the marriage. (4:1-7) She's like a private garden and a fountain of my own, for which man will be willing to share his beloved with others? I appreciated and praised her virginity (4:12) My love for her is refreshed, for she'd been a well of living water. I will refresh her as well, so that our love for each other will not dim (4:15)

4. A Troubling Dream

    It is inevitable that as time passed and familiarity grew, we lose the initial sparkle for each other. I'll learn to be a haven for her, renewing and refreshing our intimacy and passion. My beloved, let us focus on the positives, reconciliation and renewal. (5:2-8) Do not hesitate to come to me, although we're now apart (5:6-8). She's my love, my friend. Remember how we develop our friendship that made our love for each other deeper and far more satisfying. (5:16) Please come back to me like you've used to be...

5. Praising the Bride's Beauty

    My beloved, my love for you had not diminished since our wedding night. Although many other women are available to me, I will still choose her. (6:8-9) I am as excited as I was before, for every kiss from her, refreshes me (7:9)

6. The Bride's Tender Appeal

    My beloved, in me you're secured to express your love for me, even if you initiate in lovemaking. The security of true love that I give to her and she have in me, gives us the freedom to initiate acts of love and express our true feelings. (7:10-11) How grateful I am, that she would want to show her affection to me even in public, to show how much she loves me. I too, will do the same (8:1)

7. The Power of Love

    My beloved, I'll accept your love as a gift from God. May my love for you reflects the perfect love that come from God Himself, love as strong as death and priceless, given freely to you. (8:6-7) How grateful I am to marry a woman, who knows how to control herself from sexual temptation, for I am assured, if she had been persistent in her morality before marriage, I will have nothing to worry about after marriage. (8:8-9) She doesn't keep private property for herself, for there is trust and security in our love for each other (8:11-12) This is how we love and commit to each other, reflecting God's love for us...

Extraction from the book of Song of Songs, "Life Application Study Bible"

To all those who haven't have a love relationship, do not rush into relationship or marriage before you're ready to have such a commitment (2:7, 3:5, 8:4) If you're already in a love relationship or married, congratulations! You have a guideline from the man of God, to enhance your love relationship. God bless =)

A Touch of Love

When doing caroling with the Myanmarmese

Halo~ During the Christmas Eve, our church are slightly did some different way of doing caroling compare to the previous Christmas. We did our Christmas caroling at those Myanmarmese hostel and a HIV centre. During that moment we visited them, we can feel their joy within them and can see their eyes were filled with tears. This is because of the love we shared towards them so that they won't feel lonesome anymore. After conducted this Christmas caroling we learned that basically there are plenty of people in this world are longing us to share our love of God to them. Hence, lets us don't be a selfish person who only know how to receive but lets us be a person who willing to give and lets us don't practice it only during Christmas but practice it in our daily lives. Before i end, i have some verses which help us recall us back what Jesus had taught us.

JOHN 13: 34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

The 5 monkeys HUhuHU~

Below are the Christmas song presented by the Myanmarmese:

The Heart That Need Healing

- Hi everyone -

Last week, we have went to Youth Service at Hope Kuching. Then, a brother name Brother Daniel share this sermon to all of us about this at Mark 3:1-6. I will like to share this notes to all of you that reading this blog since it has been a long time we doesnt update it.

Introduction
-Prov 4:23
-Our heart condition can be translated to our life style and philosophy
-->if the person heart is negative, the life/action will be negative as well.

1. Hearts that find fault in others or falsely accused others (V1-2)
-Why do people accused others? (do u accused others to gain their advantages?)
-->in order to get ahead of the others.
-->our position is threaten
-->trap of enemy

-When we help each other, built each other up and happy for other people success - our life will be full of joy.

How to avoid this attitude?
Matt 7:3-5
Realised that we all have faults
-learn to deal with our short coming
-help other to deal with their sin with motive

2. Heart that lack mercy for others (v2-3)
-A person without mercy show no compassion to others (why?)
-->take advantages of others
-->have pessimistic attitude

Eph 4:32
-->God's love in our life will help us to always look at the good of others.
-->God's love will hep us to love and have mercy on others.

3. Heart that do not admit fault (V3-4)
-A person who is proud do not like to admit own wrong
-Pride goes before destruction (Prov 16:18)
-God hates the pride and arrogance (Prov 8:13)

4. Heart that seek revenge (v5-6)
-Revenge is a sign of unforgiveness
Rom 12:19
Eph 4:32

That's all for today. Arigato n_n
