As we have arriving close to the end of 40 days of love, I've decided to share this website.

Gives Me Hope
http://www.givesmehope.com/

Reading the stories on it, just inspires me to love others more, and doing more for them, and that the love that I am showing at the moment, is definitely not enough.
Being prideful human beings, sometimes we do things for others, and say to ourselves...
I think I have already done a great service for them already.
Remembering about Pastor Patrick's sermon about servanthood, and how he mentioned that some volunteers think that they deserve special treatment because they are volunteers.
Because to them, they have already self-sacrificed already.
But... my question to them is, do they think they can sacrifice no more?
Is it their maximun/highest level already?

Everytime, we think that we have already done our utmost, someone comes along and bursts our bubble, and awake us to the fact that more can actually be done.

Reading the stories on the website just inspires me, that so much more can be done.
So much more can be done with regards to bringing people into God's kingdom.
With regards to helping others...
With regards to loving others...
And showing love to other people...
Be it people we know, or even complete strangers.

To tell you the truth, I teared at a few of the stories.
They are simply too touching not to be shared.
The stories have taught me lessons about love, and how it really knows no limits.
How when we think something cannot be outdone, and how we think of ourselves as very loving people already, another story just appears and knocks you off balance, urging you to wake up, and telling you that so much more can be done.

I actually wanted to reserve the sharing of the website till wednesday, when I normally blog, but serious...
Why do I have to wait?
I can always share it again on wednesday.
By sharing it today, you'll never know whose life might be impacted today.
I hope that you have been impacted to, and my prayer for you who is reading is that your life has been touched by the stories shared in the website.

To end it off, I shall share with you one of my favourite story.

I was diagnosed with a severe mental disease about a year ago. My boyfriend has put up with all of my paranoia, anger and odd things that I do. When i told him he should leave me because it wasn't fair to him, he said, "If i can't take you at your worst then i don't deserve you at your best." His unconditional love GMH.



Indeed...
If we can't take our other half at their worst, then we do not deserve them at their best.
For better or for worse, goes the marriage vows.
Hope that your life has been impacted today. =)
