Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

The past few days have been great. I had the most fun this CNY somehow though the "qi fen" wasn't quite there. The food was one thing that really made cny THE festival of the year. Maybe it was also cos my house is now FINALLY clean, nice and tidy so people, including relatives and some neighbours'/ dad's clients I've never met before, have been coming over for dinner and stuff. And it's fun to play host, except for the fact that tonight after my dad's side of the family has left, I need to rush my homework. Ok ok, I know I shouldn't be here blogging but oh wells.
Saturday was supposedly the "True Love Waits" service but they didn't really call it that. Anyhow, I thought that the sermon was great and a pleasant change from the usual v-day services. I really learnt about what true love is all about. Really, the Bible's definition of true love has been long forgotten and replaced by the overly-dramatic, sensualised and overrated Hollywood version. It's time to throw all that out the window cos true love is really more than just having a crush on that person and whatever else TV shows/ movies portray. It's more than just the emotions. Just go read 1 Corinthians 13. There's a lot more informative and useful stuff about true love than you'll ever find in any one of those self-help books/ websites written by those self-professed "love gurus". Sometimes, the answer to our questions lie just right under our noses. We search everywhere but up, to God and His word. Well, I say it's time love took on a different meaning; one that entails commitment and preparation, not just passion and lust.
If we could just love each other with the love that God loves us with, there wouldn't be wars and political conflicts everywhere. True love, that is love from God, never fails. And we were made to love others with that love.
