Why do we love?

wow. i see there's a really heated discussion on my tagboard. i hope no one gets too worked up over this, after all, its only just different ideologies.

i guess i'll make my stand here. well, everything we do, glorifies God, if we're aware of it. even when we're excreting waste products from our body, we glorify God. breathing alone glorifies God, if we're aware of it. because God made us for His pleasure, as said in The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. He would love to see us get good grades. c'mon, you think you want good grades so you can live a better life, wouldn't your creator, the one who sent his only son to die for you, wish the same for you? i guess he wants to help you, only if you let him. we're weak by our own strength, so we rely on God when we're studying.

i admit, sometimes i go a little off track, and i think that i'm studying for my own sake. but thank God for christian friends, who remind me that whatever we do, we do it WELL for the Lord, instead of men. yeah. kenneth, about personal convictions, i guess that kinda thing can't be forced, can it? only God can convict you to do something. yes, even without God, i guess we'll still be mugging our eyeballs out, BUT, without the same fervour and passion.

i mean, who enjoys studying? some people la, like rachel lok(no offence), haha. but most of us don't. i used to hate studying. until i found that God takes pleasure when i do things well, so i work hard at it, and realised that i enjoy it! same thing goes. when your mom cooks lunch for you, she'll be glad that you enjoy the food right? and when you enjoy it and praise your mom for the wonderful cooking, wouldn't she be overjoyed? its the same with God. He takes delight when you enjoy what you're doing(the right things la), and you'll want to please him.

prelims are nearly over. hope all of you find joy in pleasing our Saviour. (:
