1) time to grow up!

2) God's ways are higher than mine

3) let God's love fill in our void!

1) time to grow up! this phrase has been running in my mind ever since i was in YA! its a good thing really! it really pushes me to grow and mature in a way that i have never experienced before.. time to mature into a young adult, into someone that God would want to use me in so many ways for.. stop running from all responsibilities and pick it up.. i have always wanted to do so many things for God.. really! and i have been complaining to God, why haven't i been given what i wanted and the answer i got was, 'you are not ready yet, wait!' and i believe when i'm ready and God uses me, it will be awesome! (: so now its time to grow up! (:

2) God's ways are higher than mine.. this lesson i can never learn.. never.. I always want it my way because i think that my ways are 'better'.. well, they are not! (: God taught me humility even in the things that i wana do for Him and i thought that He will be pleased with it, but ultimately I have to give God the control over my life, over the things that i do.. because His ways are higher than my ways! and i know that God has the best interest for me! and i have to wait! patience is one thing i wana have soon! ironic huh! (: hehhe (: yeap!

3) lastly, this struck me while i was on the bus today.. it shouldn't be new to a lot of people.. but it just struck me in a 'different' way today.. was just thinking about, how many love songs, how many love stories there are in the world. any movie that shows, always will have a love story, somewhere, somehow, be it big or small.. love songs are just countless, be it about break up, make up, marriage, etc.. and do we wonder sometimes why there are just so many things about love.. well, it is because God made us for love.. His love.. we have been designed to love and be loved.. and unfortunately we search for the love from the world, the limited, 'fail-able', 'with strings attached' love.. and there will always be that void in us that would not be complete, because it can only be filled with the love of God, the perfect, unfailing love..

we chase for things of this earth.. when we are suppose to chase for the things of God's kingdom

we chase for the love that this world has to offer, when we have the love of God, with no strings..

we chase for happiness that this world has, when we have the joy of the Lord as our strength!..

God has provided us with everything that we need, and we will get it by just asking Him, but sometimes, we choose what the world has to offer and we 'settle' with it.. why settle for mediocrity, when we have something that has is the 'top of the line', best things that is just right in front of us..

we have been designed for the best, therefore we will never be satisfied with what the world has to offer!
