When you choose to
wait for the right timing, it is love.
When you
go an extra mile to meet a need, it is love.
When you feel happy for
another person's sucess, it is love.
When you are angry but
yet hold your tongue, it is love.
When you look at
another's person's interest, it is love.
When you do
not bring up past arguments, it is love.
When you choose to
believe in someone again, it is love.

How often have I said I want to love, but did not. Often when we look at the overwhelming things to do, the effort you have to put in, the discomfort you got to put yourself through, a wave of helplessness will wash you over. But
God loved, that's why we could.When I look to the people around me who stood by me, who scolded me when needed, who bear-ed with all the nonsense I gave, I saw Christ in them, I saw Jesus's love in them.
One testimony to share.
My parents have not been attending church/cell group regularly. Their cell group leader is called auntie pei zhen. In this lady, I saw Christ.
She would every week without fail contact my parents.
The whole cell group came over my house for cell group instead during my mum's maternity period.
The cell group prayed for my parents when they didn't go.
She came over my house for steamboat alone, and yet gave 4 ang baos in all, to me and my siblings.
She would go the
extra mile to help my mum when she need help.
She would be ordering the minimum when my mum was treating her, but she would be ordering the maximum when she treating eg.crab.
She lent my parents her
car when she went overseas.
She took the step of faith to gather my family to pray for us.
She reconciled me and my brother to my mum by getting us to tell our mum how much we love her in front of all the others.
I saw Christ in her, it is because of Christ's love that she's able to love. It's awesome!
My parents want to get baptized!
