Love is Kind, Love is Patient...

There was a quote I wrote a while back in an old post:

There are two things that I am against in this world: Abortion and Drunkeness.

After finding out some tragic news this past weekend, I am determined to uphold my opposition to the former...as far as I'm concerned, there is NO middle ground here.

Maybe you might consider me judgmental here. I don't care if you do in this case. On the contrary, I cannot let my heart be hardened thinking about such things. Those who consider abortion need knowledge, love and understanding. And those who've gone through with it need such things even more.

Smokey Robinson wrote the song "More Love" to his wife, after finding out that their child...was not to be. In the song, he talks about how he wishes to provide more love "than age or time could every destroy," and that "it would take 100 lifetimes to live it down, wear it down, tear it down."

I think I want to pour out myself a little more, and tell you how much I want to love God in that way, or that I want to be able to show that love to others. Maybe even more, I want to let others send it back to me.

It scares me to think that people misunderstand my intentions and my actions sometimes...as if I was out of my mind or that they see something about me that just isn't there. Just checking with you guys...do I really come off as too serious sometimes (and maybe as a result, not always fun to be around)? Dai-eng if that's the case. That's what happens when you worry about conduct too much, more so than other more pressing issues.

Well, at the least, I am beginning to appreciate how precious life is...seeing a newborn baby from now on might make me think about tearing up (certainly inside, if not outside) -they are the result of God's plan for His kingdom, representing the beauty of the future.

And it is for the future that I must fight.
