i object!

there was a thought that crossed my mind lately. anyone who been to a christian wedding will know that the pastor would ask the congregration if anyone object the marriage or not. i been to quite a number of christian weddings, but i have not seen anybody objecting the marriage before.

i wonder what will the consequences be after a person stand up and say he/she objects! let me tell my story now. i like a gal in church very much. i wish to marry this gal, but the problem is we seldom get to communicate with one another. she is a cell group leader and always busy with stuffs. i only see her once a week in church, how close can we be? besides, she is not a malaysian.

so, this thought came to me. if she ever gonna stay in malaysia and settle down here, and eventually marry another guy, i may stand up and object on her wedding day! this is because i love her and not willing to loose her. however i dont know what the consequences will be.

just imagine this. everyone is happily preparing for the wedding. the parents, family members, relatives and friends of the couple are in church. everyone is happy for them because they finally get married! in the midst of the ceremony, it is time for pastor to ask the question. and then i stand up and say: "i object! i love this gal very much. i am not willing to loose her. i wish to marry her!" for a moment, i may feel and look like a hero, and some people may even respect me of what i do, the kind of courage i have.

but on the other hand, i may just make a fool of myself. the gal may say to me: "mike, dont be crazy! today is my wedding. we hardly know each other, and i love my husband dearly. we went thru alot and finally get together. why do you treat me like this? do you think you have shown love towards me thru your action?!"

now.. last nite, the Lord rebuked me. "what you think is not from Me. do you really love her? do you love her as much as I love the people in the world? do you know that I can make all men bow down before Me and worship Me alone and no other god? I love them so much, and yet I give them a free will to choose whether they want to follow me or not. if you really love her, you should be happy for her and pray for them. why do you wanna ruin the whole thing?" said the Lord.

at that moment, i repented. i was too childish, unwise. but now i thank God that He alerted me and taught me. i commit my love life unto the Lord. if there is a gal the Lord has prepared for me, she will appear one day. if she does not appear, praise God. as paul said it is more blessed to be single and serve the Lord as he was.

to conclude, to love some body is meant to let them be free being. as long as they are happy, you should be happy for them... i know it is tough to do, but Jesus says: "you trust in God, trust also in Me..." you can do it!

love & marriage

One day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is love? How can I find it?"

His teacher answered, "There is a vast wheat field in front. Walk forward without turning back, and pick only one stalk. If you find the most magnificent stalk, then you have found love."

Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with empty hands, having picked nothing.
His teacher asked, "Why did you not pick any stalk?"

Plato answered, "Because I could only pick once, and yet I could not turn back. I did find the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if there were any better ones ahead, so I did not pick it. As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were not as good as the earlier one, so I did not pick any in the end.

His teacher then said, "And that is love."

On another day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is marriage? How can I Find it?"

His teacher answered, "There is a thriving forest in front. Walk forward without turning back, and chop down only one tree. If you find the tallest tree, then you have found marriage."

Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with a tree. The tree was not thriving, and it was not tall either. It was only an ordinary tree.

His teacher asked, "Why did you chop down such an ordinary tree?"

Plato answered, "Because of my previous experience. I walked halfway through the forest, but returned with empty hands. This time, I saw this tree, and I felt that it was not bad, so I chopped it down and brought it back. I did not want to miss the opportunity."

His teacher then said, "And that is marriage."

alone

i am so alone... i always wish having someone who i can love, hug, kiss, always be by my side. when will she appear? will she ever come into my life? i wonder...

"there isn't feelings that can't be control, but once it's controlled, it's not real anymore..." author: mike chaow.

my mistakes...

is it good to be straight forward? sometimes i feel that i am a little straight forward. just like today, i said something that hurted a friend. er hmm... was talking about her past with a guy. things which she told me offline, but i post it online, in her blog. sigh... anyway, thank God that she was able to delete it before others read it.

i learnt my lesson. i will be more watchful with my words next time. or should i say the way i presented the message. haha.. besides, she was talking to me about being the real us so that others do not fall in love with us for the fake us. it is easy to pretend to be a nice person when we only meet once in a while for a few hours. but what is going to happen in the future if both get into serious a relationship? can that guy or gal pretend forever? of course not.

to anyone who is reading my blog, i wanna tell you that i am who i am. whether i am happy or sad, i will show it to you, no matter if you are the gal i love or trying to persue. it's better to be real than pretend.

to conclude, be truthful and live a life!
