My journey...

I have 3 dogs at home. 2 dogs and a bitch. at the moment, the bitch is on heat and the other 2 dogs are going crazy. Our house garden is split into 2 levels and usually, one of my dog will never want to go up the stairs. Perhaps he is getting old and he hates to climb. I will usually have to pull him up the stairs. But yesterday, I saw him climbing up and down the stairs cause we seperated the dogs and the bitch was put at the top level. Chinese have a saying that when you have love, you can survive with only water.

Love makes a person do silly things. Love makes a person to drive 2 hours just to see the other person for 5 minutes. Love makes you give up your own personal desires to accomadate the other person's wishes. Love cause you to make a fool of yourself and you do not care who is watching.

When we love God, we would do crazy things for him too. But like any love, the excitement and passion would soon fade and someone once said to me, "love is a feeling but true love is a commitment". When my bitch is no longer on heat, the dogs actually can't stand her cause she would disturb their peace.

After saying "I do", no matter how hard reality is, you are stuck to that person for life. Not that the love is gone but the lovey dovey feelings maybe gone. Then what?

We may start off being very passionate about the things of God but after a while, what drives us? Many of us get tired and burned out cause at the end, that feeling cannot drive us forever. There need to come a time that we discover actually what drives us. What is that commitment? For husband and wive, it is the relationship that they have for one another that will see them through. For us Christians, I guess it has to be relationship with God.

God will cause us to discover the dark night of the soul to cause us to search deep within ourself who we are, who He is to us and what drives us. There will be times when our journey with God will be hard going and we may even think does God actually exists? A journey where we will really ask the hard questions. The journey where we would really search our purpose. True love is a commitment. Only when you are committed to growing and knowing Him would you actually find Him. Do not give up easily when the going gets tough.
