Update!!! Sy Rogers! yea...lol

NOTES

3 appetites of people

1. Hunger for food

2. Hunger for truth

3. Hunger to be loved.

-when ure hungry, ure vulnerable
-if u dont satisfy a particular hunger, ull hurt yourself and eventually others will feel the impact as well.
-if the right food is not there to satisfy ur hunger, we'll tend to turn to other substitutes to satisfy our hunger for certain things (junk food)

e.g. the hunger for love results in sex abuse -> u dont need sex to know that ure loved, when u truly love someone and get married to him/her and your life is no longer your own but u 2 share each other's lives, sex naturally becomes a part of ur life.

-like junk food, sin only satisfies your hunger but it DOESNT nourish you.

3 things about love:

Love is...

1. Acceptance

-u love someone not for what he/she has done, but for who he/she is.
-in Christ we are clothed with:

i) acceptance (becos Jesus paid a huge price to make you His, bcos He so loved e world He gave Himself up so that we can spend eternity with Him)

ii) confidence (bcos He lives in us and we live in Him, even if no one loves us we are confident that He will never leave us nor forsake us, since He paid the price for us.)

2. Accountability

-what we do and how we live our lives matter to God, even the simplest thing like eating.
-when u love someone, ure interested about his/her life, u rejoice with them and u share their sorrows, their life becomes your life.

-God puts restrictions on us so that we will not hurt ourselves because He loves us and knows what we can handle and what we cannot handle.
-because God loves us, He will correct and discipline us, so that we stay on track and not b lost in darkness or to be in danger.

3. Affirmation

-dun jus say you love someone, PROVE IT by your actions.
-when u see others blessed and not u, dun envy, dun covet, its just not ur turn to be blessed yet. instead, bless them and wait patiently for your turn. indeed those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, they shall be filled

-God shows no favouritism.
-Though we are not able to life a person's burdens, pain/loss, we can still SHARE it.
-When u truly love someone, u are interested in his/her life, and his/her becomes your life. because he/she matters to you.

THOUGHTS

jsu came back frm ministry. before that went early to help pranee with assignment cus she needs to borrow my laptop.

we finished at 1030 but stayed back to help pranee with her assignment. stay strong k, sis. delay is not denial and God is never late, when we truly love God, even if our lives are never changed, it wouldve been still worth it to love the Creator of our lives :) i believe u can do it! with man, its impossible but WITH God, ALL things are possible, yea? ;)

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind :)

for me, when i give to e Lord, i dun expect Him to repay me, cus love is priceless, and love is a sacrifice. when u love someone, ure willing to give your all, without expecting anything in return. your become totally selfless, because loves compels you to give.
