Where is your hope in life?

Last sunday night's Chinese evangelistic meeting with Chen Bo Lin talked a lot about hope.

Where is your hope in life?

SW's uni classmate drowned while swimming in a pool recently. He is only 26 years old and has everything going for him. He leaves behind a widow who is his age. Where is her hope? No more wedding next October because her beloved is gone. SW is affected by the lost of her friend and pities her widowed friend.

I remembered reflecting a similar topic around this period last year. I am still thinking about the same topic this time this year. What's wrong with me? I find myself getting too philosophical these days. Still, I need answers to the many questions that I am asking.

What is love? God is love. He defines "love" in 1 Corinthians 13.

Love...

(verse 4) is patient, is kind, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud,

(verse 5) is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs (wow!)

(verse 6) does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth,

(verse 7) it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres,

(verse 8) never fails...

It is impossible to love without knowing God. How can two individuals with two self-centered wills not seek their own interests? Yet, love is not self-seeking. Man fails, but God doesn't.
