thought of the day:

god gave love
love that surpasses all understanding
love that renews us
love that heals
love that brings hope

but sadly
this love is slowly forgotten
not only in the world
but also in the church

love that has been replaced by outer beauty
by money
by corporate status

love that no longer accepts
love that no longer forgives

is that even called love?
no longer

if looks are all
then what is left for those who dont have it?
if dressing is all
then what about those who cannot afford it?
if impressions are all
then what about those whose inner beauty are hidden?

rejected
left out
left alone

what happened to love that
loves still when all is going wrong
what happened to love that
forgives and forgets
what happened to love that
accepts someone for his/her wrong doing

this kind of love that god put in my heart
is the kind of love that i want to treasure and keep
this love cannot be taken for granted
like how god's love cannot be taken for granted

if god is the one who has taught me to love
if god is the one who put love in my life
if god is the one who loves me more than anything else
i will continue to love those people god put in my life
no matter how tough it gets
