1 Corinthians Chapter 13

4Love is Patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fail.

Imagine you broke the entire outcome of love in one night, imagine you became hot tempered, imagine you became violent, envious, boast, rude, self-seeking… The list goes on. Imagine you did that in front of your friends. What will they think of you? Imagine the worst part is that you are supposed to be a gentlemen in front of girls and yet you act like that. What will they think of you? Well, very unfortunately it happens to me. “People do crazy things when they are in love” I’m sure that you have heard of this in some movies. If I’m not mistaken, Titanic… Guess what, the good part only happens in movie. In reality if you do crazy things, you are only embarrassing yourself. Imagine throwing a drumstick toward your teammates just because he played around with you. I did that too. Fortunately, I didn’t ruin the supper. What is repent? What do you have in mind when you people told you to repent? Pastor asks people to repent and believe in Jesus Christ during rallies. What is the true meaning of repent? Repent means [to feel and show that you are sorry for something bad or wrong that you have done.] in Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary. We can only repent if we know our mistake and willing to change for the better. Repent is one thing, bear the consequences is another thing. When we repent from our wrong deed, it doesn’t always mean that everything will be just fine. Most of the time, you have to face the consequences of what you had done. When I repent to God, He can forgive me, but I have to take up the responsibilities for my action. When I mess up something, I had to fix it. Otherwise, it will always be a mess. Talking bad things of myself is not what people normally will do. I do this because I obey God. The Holy Spirit told me what mistake I’d done last night when I was taking my shower last night. It is not the first time God speaks to me but every time when God do that, it means I have to humble myself and repent. It is not easy at all, but I have to obey God. That is the true Christian life. An intimate relationship with God. A breakthrough. A testimony. How Great is Our God!
