Can this be love?

 

Love can wait, lust must have it now. 
Love is selfless, lust is selfish. 
Love is giving; lust is taking. 


Love is patient; lust is impatient. 
Love is meek; lust is arrogant. 
Love is manageable; lust is impulsive. 

Love develops;  lust destroys. 
Love is peaceful; lust is anxious. 
Love serves; lust says- this is what I deserve. 
Love rejoices with the truth; lust rejoices in wrong doings. 

Love is secure; lust is insecure. 
Love liberates; lust imprisons. 
Love forgives; lust condemns. 
Love is purity; lust is sin. 
Love is of God; lust is from the world. 


And let's never forget if we don't ever want to suffer, we must be very careful never to love anything or anybody. The gifts of love have been the gifts of suffering. Those two things are inseparable. Elisabeth Elliot

Psalm 119:9

How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your Word.

spice of life

One day you will wake up doing something you thought you couldn't do, hard things you're so afraid to face and you would eventually jump in the cliff with so much fear ready to face the uncertainties.

Your slow morning matters too

just simply sitting, walking, listening, roaming absorbing, and taking time.

It doesn’t matter

People may attack you, criticize you, or ignore you. They can crumple you up with their words, spit you out or even walk over you. But remember, whatever they do or say, you always keep your value. Frederick Imbo
