Something More

Last Sunday, August 18, 2013, I have attended the Live Pure Conference 2013 with some of my brothers and sisters in the community. My sister Bambam, whom I haven’t seen for 3 months, was there with us too. I had a lot of fun and it was a total blast of experiences, learning and realizations! God’s love is indeed great and beyond compare!

Looking back at my life, I could say that I have cheapened love in some ways. I have relied all in my standards and what I want for a boyfriend. I may not be the best pick for someone, but I still would want a best pick for myself. I’ve had a boyfriend, just like others. I experienced getting brokenhearted, and have even cried because of such crazy heartaches. Until such time, I got so full of it. And I found myself getting fond of writing love stories.

In those stories, I always got a happy ending, (well not to include that one story where I let my hero died). I could have the perfect hero for my heroine, (which sometimes, I imagined as myself). I could choose what scenes to be included and even made up lines that could make myself and readers chill to the bone as if they were true. It all became an extension of myself… of my desires of having a perfect love life just like other girls have always dreamed of.

But, having attended the conference reminded me that there’s something more than all of the things I had in mind… that there is something more perfect than those in the stories. Could you imagine that there is this kind of love which is even beyond perfection… the kind of love which unconditional, unlimited and complete? I bet there’s no greater love than that. There is no greater love than what God had given us in our daily lives.

I am 21, and I am single, and I have no one wooing me, but I am happy… happier than one could imagine. I’ve got no reasons to be insecure on what others have. I’ve got no reasons to be sad because I’m single. 
But I’ve got a lot of reasons to be happy because I chose to love God and I know He is happier for I let Him love me.

People might laugh at this and may find this thought hopeless, but loving Him taught me to even set my standards higher than Mount Everest. I am God’s princess and a man of God is the best prince for me. I may not find him, but God will.

LOVE is a gift from GOD. LIVING PURE is a challenge. CHASTITY is a fruit of God’s grace. PRAYER is the biggest tool. And GOD is the greatest planner of all. So let’s not settle for less, because IN GOD, THERE IS SOMETHING MORE! In CHRIST alone my HOPE is FOUND
