I always said that "True Love Waits" and sa totoo lang hindi ganon kadali ang maghintay. As i wait for it mas lumalakas ang temptation na mag give up na sa paghihintay. There is someone na nanligaw sakin and i admit it na nagugustuhan ko na siya. But God always remind me na hindi pa right time, hindi pa ngayon. But i refuse to follow God. I didn't listen to Him. Until one day nalaman ko na may gf na siya. Whoaaaaah!! ?:(
It really hurts me. Dahil akala ko seryoso siya at willing maghintay. I'm terribly upset nung nalaman ko yun. But know what? at that very moment, God speaks to me. And i feel His loving arms embracing me.
What LOVE really means? In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 defines love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud . It does not dishonor others, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, it always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres.
As i seek the meaning of Love i found out na sobrang lalim ng meaning nito. When Jesus died on the cross just to save us from our sins, dun pa lang sorang hirap ng iexplain or maunawaan dahil all of us are sinners. But one thing is for sure, it's all because of LOVE. He died for us because He loves us. Unconditional love. :)
Here is the story of Hannah, the wife of Elkanah. She doesn't have a child, that's why pakiramdam niya is sobrang miserable ng buhay niya. As i read the chapter 1 of 1 Samuel nakita ko kung paano kumilos ang Lord sa buhay ni hannah and how He blessed her. Hannah's heart is a heart na sobrang nagtitiwala sa Lord.
"Her husband Elkanah would say to her, "Hannah, why are you weeping? why don't you eat? why are you downhearted? Don't i mean more to you than ten sons?"
1 Samuel 1:8
Yes, her life is miserable because of not having a child. She cry out to God. But because of her faith, God gave her a child.
It feels like ang Lord ang nagsasabi nito sakin. "CL, mas mahalaga ba talaga sayo yung love na maibibigay ng nanliligaw sayo? Hindi pa ba enough yung pagmamahal ko?" After that, i realized how selfish i am. Hindi ako nagtiwala sa Lord kaya nasaktan ako ng ganito. I didn't listen to Him. If we want to do something, ask God first and spend your time with Him.
1. Get up and Pray
Like Hannah, she takes time to pray and asked God na bigyan siya ng anak. She patiently wait and pray. And ganon din sa LOVE. We need to pray for it and allow God to write your love story.
If you feel so lost and broken right now, take time to pray and seek His presence. God will give you comfort and heals all the wounds within you. He loves you.
2. Trust God with all your HEART
"In her deep anguish, Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly." - 1 Samuel 1:10
No matter how bad the situation is, no matter how broken you are, TRUST GOD!
Sometimes, because of brokenness and pain, nakakalimutan natin magtiwala sa Lord. The situation clouded our vision and allowing it to control us. That's the reason why we forgot to trust God and His plan for us.
But Hannah, despite of what she feels, despite of brokenness and pain, she takes time to pray, spending her quality time with God. She cry out to God. And she believed that God will give her a child. She trust God with all her heart.
As we wait, we will see that God is also preparing us to be the right one.
Let God controls your life. Let His love consume your hearts. The closer you are to God, the bigger your heart to people. Allow Him to write your love story. He is LOVE and so the author of it. He knows the best for you. Wait patiently. Endure everything and wait for His perfect time.
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
Ecclesiastes 3:11
We doesn't know how, when or where. But we know na sobrang ganda ng love story na sinusulat ng Lord for us. All we need to do is to wait, serve God and seek more of His presence. His love is more than enough. :))
GOD IS LOVE! <3 :)
Christ up! :)
