Yesterday during our first youth reload for the month of February, i was the one who made the offering challenge. i asked the room of 70 plus students about tjeir first love. I got giggles and laughs. Whenever that topic pops they all get kilig. Then i asked them, 'what was the very first thing you learned when you liked or loved someone for the first time?' It got interesting...and at the same time saddening. My heart broke. Almost all of them answered negatively or they got hurt or not to trust someone so much. so i answered them with these:
'When you first liked or love someone, the very first thing you learned is giving. Because that feeling in your heart was so intense, overflowing and bursting you just don't know how to contain it how much more express it to that person you love. So give that person something- time, energy, words, things, etc. The first thing i learned in love is giving."
Last night was only an offering challenge. I shared Luke 7:45 to 47, the woman who poured out an alabaster jar at Jesus feet. For as the last verse goes, 'i tell you her sins-and they are many have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love.' the first thing i learned about God ever since i was young was He was loving and in His love He gave. He gave what was dear to Him, His only Son. Love is giving. Its not the sappy and negative thing the world portrays. I pray for my generation and for the generation to come that loving is not about getting hurt in the end, its getting healed at the very beginning. It is not what you get out of the relationship, its what you could give. And love will never be love until the Author of Love writes it- Jesus.
